GLPK 4.18 -- Release Information
********************************

Release date: Jun 25, 2007

GLPK (GNU Linear Programming Kit) is intended for solving large-scale
linear programming (LP), mixed integer linear programming (MIP), and
other related problems. It is a set of routines written in ANSI C and
organized as a callable library.

In this release:

The following new API routines were added:

glp_set_rii       set (change) row scale factor
glp_set_sjj       set (change) column scale factor
glp_get_rii       retrieve row scale factor
glp_get_sjj       retrieve column scale factor
glp_simplex       solve LP problem with the simplex method (this
                  routine replaces lpx_simplex, which is also available
                  for backward compatibility)
glp_init_smcp     initialize simplex method control parameters
glp_bf_exists     check if the basis factorization exists
glp_factorize     compute the basis factorization
glp_bf_updated    check if the basis factorization has been updated
glp_get_bfcp      retrieve basis factorization control parameters
glp_set_bfcp      change basis factorization control parameters
glp_get_bhead     retrieve the basis header information
glp_get_row_bind  retrieve row index in the basis header
glp_get_col_bind  retrieve column index in the basis header
glp_ftran         perform forward transformation
glp_btran         perform backward transformation

For description of all these routines see a new edition of the library
reference manual included in the distribution.

Type names ulong_t and uldiv_t were changed to glp_ulong and glp_uldiv
to avoid conflicts with standard type names on some platforms. Thanks
to Boris Wirtz <address@hidden> for the bug report.

Some new examples in the MathProg modeling language were added. Thanks
to Sebastian Nowozin <address@hidden>.
