The current version of Fast Downward is the merger of three different projects:
- the original version of Fast Downward developed by Malte Helmert and Silvia Richter
- LAMA, developed by Silvia Richter and Matthias Westphal based on the original Fast Downward
- FD-Tech, a modified version of Fast Downward developed by Erez Karpas and Michael Katz based on the original code
In addition to these three main sources, the codebase incorporates code and features from numerous branches of the Fast Downward codebase developed for various research papers. The main contributors to these branches are Malte Helmert, Gabi Röger and Silvia Richter.
