edit * GLPK 4.32 (17:0:17) has been released
* glpmpl01.c
A bug was fixed. Due to this bug iterated expressions having
an indexing expression whose dummy indices are bound to some
values, i.e. like sum{(i+1,j,k-1) in E} x[i,j,k] are evaluated
incorrectly. Namely, current value of such expressions is not
invalidated when corresponding dummy indices (like i and k in
the example above) are changed, that erroneously results in the
same value evaluated for the first time.
* glpios03.c
Euclidean reduction of the local objective bound was added in
the routine glpios03.c.
* glpapi11.c
The following new branch-and-cut API routines were added:

glp_ios_add_row add constraint to the cut pool;
glp_ios_del_row delete constraint from the cut pool;
glp_ios_clear_pool delete all constraints from the cut pool.
* glpapi08.c
The following new features were included in the branch-and-cut
solver (the API routine glp_intopt):
MIP presolver;
mixed cover cut generator;
clique cut generator.
Due to the MIP presolver glp_intopt may additionally return
GLP_ENOPFS and GLP_ENODFS, if primal or dual infeasibility of
LP relaxation is detected by the presolver. Also the return
code GLP_EMIPGAP was introduced to correctly indicate that the
mip gap tolerance is reached.
* glplpx01.c
Now the obsolete API routines lpx_integer and lpx_intopt are
completely superseded by the API routine glp_intopt that makes
them deprecated.
* glpmpl05.c
Now the table driver name "iODBC" can be specified as "ODBC".

A bug fixed in the routine free_dca.
Thanks to Xypron <xypron.glpk@gmx.de>.
* glpsql.c
A bug was fixed in the SQL table driver.

edit * GLPK 4.14 has been released
Now GLPK conforms to ILP32, LLP64, and LP64 programming models
(the latter seems to be the ultimate choice regarding 64-bit
architectures). Note that GLPK itself is a 32-bit application,
and the conformity only means that the package works correctly
on all these arenae. Nevertheless, on 64-bit platforms it is
possible to use more than 4GB of memory, if necessary.
* Makefile
Starting from this release only the header glpk.h is needed to
be installed.
* glplib01.c
Two routines bigmul and bigdiv which performs multiplication
and division of unsigned integers of arbitrary precision were
added.
* glplib02.c
A set of 64-bit arithmetic routines were added.
* glplib04.c
Some low-level library routines were improved and renamed.
* glpcfg.h

edit * GLPK 4.12 has been released
* glpcfg.h
The package configuration file was added.
* glplib2.c
Alternative version of the routines umalloc, ucalloc, and ufree
was provided. It does not limit the amount of allocated memory
to INT_MAX bytes and therefore can be used on platforms where
sizeof(void *) > sizeof(int). To enable this version one should
define the preprocessor variable GLP_HUGE_MEM.
* glprng.c
The routine rng_create_rand was changed to initialize the
generator using seed = 1, not 0, to conform ISO C requirements.
* glpgmp.h, glpgmp.c
A set of bignum arithmetic routines implementing operations on
integers and rationals was added. These routines are compatible
with the GNU MP library.
NOTE: To attain a much better performance it is recommended to
use, if possible, the original GNU MP library rather than the
GLPK version, by defining the preprocessor variable GLP_USE_GMP.
* glplux.h, glplux.c
A tentative implementation of sparse LU-factorization based on
exact (bignum) arithmetic was added.
* glpssx.h, glpssx.c

edit * GLPK 4.2 has been released.
* glpiet.h, glpiet.c, glpios.h, glpios1.c, glpios2.c, glpios3.c
A preliminary implementation of the Integer Optimization Suite
(IOS) was included in the package. Eventually IOS will replace
the Implicit Enumeration Suite (IES).
* glplpx.h, glplpx6d.c
A dummy version of the integer optimization routine lpx_intopt
was included in the package. Later this routine will replace the
routine lpx_integer.
* examples/glpsol.c
A new command-line option --int-opt was added to the solver to
call lpx_intopt rather than lpx_integer.
* glpbcs.h, glpbcs1.c, glpbcs2.c
Being replaced by IOS routines (see above) the Branch-and-Cut
Framework (BCS) routines were removed from the package.
* examples/tspsol.c
Stand-alone Symmetric TSP solver was completely re-programmed
using IOS routines.
* glplib.h, glplib2.c, glplib4.c
The random-number generator was implemented. It is based on the
module GB_FLIB from the Stanford GraphBase originally developed
by Donald Knuth.
* glphbsm.c, glplpx8a.c, glpmps.c
All calls to fopen/fclose were replaced by corresponding calls
to ufopen/ufclose due to bug reports provided by Morten Welinder
<terra@gnu.org> and <jpark@sfwmd.gov>.
* glpmps.c
The code was made re-entrant.
* glplpx8b.c
API routine lpx_print_sens_bnds for bounds sensitivity analysis
contributed by Brady Hunsaker <hunsaker@engr.pitt.edu> was added
to the package. This feature is also available in glpsol via the
command-line option --bounds.
* contrib/jni/*.*
New version of GLPK JNI (Java Native Interface) contributed by
Chris Rosebrugh <cpr@pobox.com> was added to the package.
* contrib/deli/*.*

some non-GNU 32-bit platforms.
Sat Aug 23 12:00:00 2003 Andrew Makhorin <mao@mai2.rcnet.ru>
edit * GLPK 4.1 has been released.
* glpmpl1.c, glpmpl3.c
Some bugs were fixed in the MathProg translator due to the bug
reports provided by Giles Thompson <gwpt1@cus.cam.ac.uk>:
conditional set expressions were incorrectly parsed;
dimen attribute was not set by default when a set was used
recursively in its own declaration;
logical expressions ... in if ... then ... else ... did not
work;
displaying set expressions did not free memory allocated for
temporary results.
* glpmpl3.c (reduce_terms)
Implementation of summation of linear forms over domain was
improved to reduce complexity of that operation from O(n*n) to
O(n*log n). The improvement was made due to a report provided
by Sebastien de Menten <sdementen@hotmail.com>.
* glplpx6a.c (line 1056), glpmip1.c (line 641)
Two minor bugs were fixed due to the bug report provided by
Kendall Demaree <kendal.demaree@verizon.net>.
* glplpx.h, glplpx6a.c
The method of one artificial variable implemented in the routine
lpx_prim_art and used on the phase I in the glpk simplex solver
has a serious defect: for some lp instances it erroneously
reports that the problem has no primal feasible solution. This
error appears when the column of the artificial variable, which
enters the basis to make it primal feasible, has large
constraint coefficients, that leads to small reduced costs of
non-basic variables and premature termination of the search,
i.e. to wrong conclusion that the problem has no primal feasible
solution. To avoid this defect the routine lpx_prim_feas was
included. It implements the method of implicit artifical
variables (based on minimization of the sum of infeasibilities),
which is a bit slower but much more robust. The routine
lpx_prim_feas having the same functionality now is used instead
the routine lpx_prim_art.
* glpinv.h, glpinv.c
The test used in the routine inv_update to detect low accuracy
after updating LU-factorization of the basis matrix was replaced
by a new, more robust test.
* glplpx6c.c
Selecting an active node to be solved next in the routine
btrack_bestp was changed. Now, if any integer feasible solution
has not been found yet, the routine chooses an active node which
has the minimal sum of integer infeasibilities.
* glpmip.h, glpmip1.c
The additional flag int_obj was included in the structure
MIPTREE used by the branch-and-bound. This flag is set in the
routine mip_create_tree and used in the routine is_better. It
means that the objective is integral, i.e. depends only on
integer variables with integer objective coefficients. The test
used in the routine check_integrality was also replaced by a
new, more reasonable one.
* glplpx1.c
A minor bug was fixed in the routine lpx_check_name.
* glpmpl.h, glpmpl4.c, glplpx8d.c
The flag skip_data was added to the parameter list of the
routine mpl_read_model. If this flag is set, the data section
in the model file is ignored. Corresponding change was made in
the routine lpx_read_model. Now, if both model and data files
are specified, the data section in the model file is ignored.
* glplpx8c.c
A minor bug (wrong format used for writing free columns) in the
routine lpx_write_lpt was fixed due to the bug report provided
by Bernhard Schmidt <schmidt@math.uni-augsburg.de>
* sample/glpsol.c
The command-line parameter --tmlim, which allows limiting the
solution time, was added.
* doc/lang.*, doc/refman.*
New edition of the GLPK documentation was included.
* java-binding/*.*
New version of the GLPK JNI (Java Native Interface) package was
included in the distribution.
* sample/lpglpk40.c
A non-trivial example was added. It allows using GLPK as a base
LP solver for Concorde, a program for solving Traveling Salesman
Problem (TSP). For details see comments in lpglpk40.c.
* sample/*.mod
Some examples of LP and MIP models written in GNU MathProg were
added.
Tue May 06 12:00:00 2003 Andrew Makhorin <mao@mai2.rcnet.ru>
edit * GLPK 4.0 has been released.

The document "GLPK: Modeling Language GNU MathProg" was included
in the package.
* doc/refman.latex, doc/refman.dvi, doc/refman.ps
New edition of the GLPK Reference Manual was included in the
package.
* glplpx8c.c
A bug in the api routine lpx_write_lpt was fixed. Due to that
bug an addressing error occured in the routine if the objective
function has the non-zero constant term.
* glplan.h, glplan1.c, glplan2.c, glplan3.c, glplan4.c,
* glplan5.c, glplan6.c, glplan7.c, glplan8.c, glplpx8b.c
All modules of the translator for the GLPK/L modeling language
were removed from the package, because GLPK/L being completely
superseded by GNU MathProg is no more supported.
Tue Mar 25 12:00:00 2003 Andrew Makhorin <mao@mai2.rcnet.ru>
edit * GLPK 3.3 has been released.
* glplpp.h, glplpp1.c, glplpp2.c
An implementation of the built-in LP presolver was added to the
package.
* glplpx.h
The flag presol was added to the structure LPX. This flag tells
the lpx_simplex whether the built-in LP presolver should be used
or not. By default this flag is off. Also three macros (namely
LPX_E_NOPFS, LPX_E_NODFS, and LPX_K_PRESOL) that concern using
the LP presolver were introduced.
* glplpx3.c, glplpx6a.c
These modules was changed to use the built-in LP presolver.
* sample/glpsol.c
Command line options --presol and --nopresol that concern using
the LP presolver were added to the stand-alone LP/MIP solver.

edit * GLPK 3.2.4 has been released.
* glplpx6b.c
The code was changed to allow auxiliary variables have non-zero
objective coefficients.
Also a minor bug was fixed (the constant term was not considered
on displaying the objective function value).
* sample/glpsol.c
The code was changed to fix a bug (the command-line option 'bfs'
was not recognized). The bug was fixed due to report provided by
Olivier <odwl@skynet.be>.
* glplpt.c
The code was changed to fix a bug (binary variables were treated
erroneously as integer ones).
* glplpx6b.c
The code was changed to fix a bug (variables that have no lower
bounds were incorrectly processed on converting to the standard
formulation). The bug was fixed due to report kindly provided by
Kjell Eikland <kjell.eikland@broadpark.no>.
Mon Nov 11 12:00:00 2002 Andrew Makhorin <mao@mai2.rcnet.ru>
edit * GLPK 3.2.3 has been released.
* glpmip.h, glpmip1.c
A preliminary implementation of the branch-and-bound driver
based on the implicit enumeration suite (glpies) was added to
the package. This module is not documented yet.
* glplpx6c.c
A new implementation of the api routine lpx_integer which now
is based on the b&b driver (see glpmip above) was included in
the package. This new implementation has exactly the same
functionality as the old version and therefore all changes are
transparent to the api user.
* glpbbm.h, glpbbm.c
* glprsm.h, glprsm1.c, glprsm2.c
* glplp.h, glplp.c
These modules were removed from the package, because they were
used only in the old version of the routine lpx_integer, which
was replaced by the new version (see glplpx6c above).
* glplpx.h, glplpx6a.c
The api routine lpx_check_kkt was included in the package and
its description was added in the reference manual. This routine
allows checking Karush-Kuhn-Tucker optimality conditions for an
LP solution.
* glplpx.h, glplpx8a.c
Now the api routine lpx_print_sol also prints information about
"solution quality" obtained via the api routine lpx_check_kkt.
* glplpx.h, glplpx8a.c
New api routines lpx_read_bas and lpx_write_bas were included
in the package and documented. The routine lpx_write_bas allows
writing a current basis from an LP object to a text file in the
MPS format. The routine lpx_read_bas allows reading a basis
prepared in the MPS format from a text file into an LP object.
* glplpt.c
The parsing routine which reads LP problem data prepared in the
CPLEX LP format was modified to allow specifying lower bounds
of variables also in the form 'variable >= lower bound' (in the
bounds section). This modification was made due to a notice
provided by Ivan Luzzi <iluzzi@libero.it>.
* glplpx.h, glplpx8c.c
The api routine lpx_write_lpt which allows writing LP problem
data from an LP object to a text file using the CPLEX LP format
was included in the package and documented.
* glplpx.h, glplpx3.c
The control parameter LPX_K_LPTORIG that affects the behavior
of the api routine lpx_write_lpt was introduced.
* glplan6.c
The semantics of the language GLPK/L was changed to allow
selection in case when not all mute letters of a predicate (the
operand that follows the keyword 'where') are presented in a
parameter (the operand that precedes the keyword 'where'), i.e.
to allow writing something like this:
y[j] := sum(i, x[i] where p[i,j]);
The paragraph "Selection" in the language description (page 25)
was also correspondingly changed. This change of the language
semantics was undertaken due to a notice provided by Peter Lee
<plee@kinggee.com.au>.
* sample/hwd.lpm
A nice example of LP model written in GLPK/L and contributed by
Peter Lee <plee@kinggee.com.au> was included in the package.
* glplpx6b.c
The api routine lpx_interior was modified: a) to compute dual
values for all structural as well as auxiliary variables; b) to
allow specifying non-zero objective coefficients at auxiliary
variables.
* sample/glpsol.c
Three new command-line options were added to the solver, which
are: --plain, --orig, and --wrlpt.
Mon Oct 14 12:00:00 2002 Andrew Makhorin <mao@mai2.rcnet.ru>
edit * GLPK 3.2.2 has been released.
* glplpt.h, glplpt.c
A module that reads LP/MIP problem data in CPLEX LP format was
implemented.
* glplpx8c.c
An api routine lpx_read_lpt that reads LP/MIP problem data in
CPLEX LP format was implemented.
* sample/glpsol.c, sample/plan.lpt
A new command-line option '--lpt' that allows reading LP/MIP
problem data in CPLEX LP format was added to the solver.
* doc/refman.latex, doc/refman.dvi, doc/refman.ps
A new edition of the Reference Manual was included.
* source/*.c
Casting to (unsigned char) was added in some calls to the
classification functions (isalpha, etc.). The bug was fixed due
to report provided by Morten Welinder <terra@diku.dk>.
* glplpx8a.c
The local routine mps_numb used in the routine lpx_write_mps
was modified to correctly format floating-point numbers that
have two digits in the decimal exponent. The bug was fixed due
to report provided by Vlahos Kiriakos <Kiriakos.Vlahos@gs.com>.
* glplan.h, glplan1.c, ..., glplan8.c
Several serious bugs were fixed in the language processor due
to reports provided by <NORBERT.PIOTROWSKI@LHSYSTEMS.COM>:
(a) a static search tree used to find sparse array elements was
sometimes overwritten that caused the message 'assertion failed'
to appear; the bug was fixed by creating separate search trees
in parsing routines; (b) a variable declared using the
predicate-controlled variable declaration statement had wrong
order of domain sets, because the variable array was built as
a copy of the predicate array; the bug was fixed by using the
internal routine transpose that coordinates mute letters (and
therefore domain sets) on copying sparse arrays; (c) sometimes
assignment statements like x[#a,#b,#c] := ... was incorrectly
processed; the bug was fixed by including an appropriate check
into the internal routine assign_stmt.
* glp_simplex.c
An additional check to see if all lower bounds are not greater
than corresponding upper bounds was included in the routine to
prevent wrong results to appear. Such incorrectness sometimes
was not detected, namely, when variables with such bounds were
non-basic and never entered the basis.
* glpspx1.c
Maximal number of simplex iterations before reinversion was
decreased from 100 to 50. This allowed to improve accuracy and,
that is more important, to reduce the solution time for many
serial lp problems approximately 1.5--2 times.
* glpspx2.c
A check to see if all elements in the column chosen to enter
the basis are close to zero in the routine spx_prim_chuzr was
temporarily removed because this check gave wrong conclusion in
case when the corresponding non-basic variable had zero column
in the constraint matrix. An analogous check to see if all
elements in the row chosen to leave the basis are close to zero
in the routine spx_dual_chuzc was also temporarily removed on
the same reason. The bug was fixed due to reports provided by
Flavio Keidi Miyazawa <fkm@ic.unicamp.br> and Vlahos Kiriakos
<Kiriakos.Vlahos@gs.com>.

edit * GLPK 3.0.4 has been released.
* glpspx.h, glpspx1.c, glpspx2.c, glpapi/glp_simplex2.h
A new, more efficient version of the two-phase primal simplex
method was implemented (advanced initial basis, projected
steepest edge, recursive computations of solution components).
* glpapi/glp_call_bbm1.c
Now LP relaxation can be solved either using rsm1_driver(), or
using glp_simplex2(). The choice is controlled by the parameter
'meth' (a member of struct bbm1).
* sample/glpsol.c
The new implementation of the simplex method is now used by
default. The old version is available via --old-sim option.
* glpmat/gm_scaling.c
Now this routine displays only two lines: an initial "quality"
and a final "quality".
* glplp/prepro_lp.c
Identifiers 'fmin' and 'fmax' renamed to 'f_min' and 'f_max' in
order to avoid conflict with <math.h>. The bug was fixed due to
report provided by Sami Farin <sfarin@ratol.fi>.

edit * GLPK 3.0.3 has been released.
* glprsm/harris_row.c, glprsm/harris_col.c
The relative tolerance used on the first pass of the two-pass
ratio test was replaced by the absolute tolerance.
* glprsm/rsm_primal.c, glprsm/rsm_feas.c, glprsm/rsm_dual.c
The absolute tolerance passed to the two-pass ratio test routine
was decaresed (for both primal and dual simplex).
These changes were made in order to improve numerical stability
of the simplex method.
* glprsm/glp_call_rsm1.c, glprsm/glp_call_bbm1.c,
* glprsm/glp_simplex1, glprsm/glp_pivoting.c
Default form of the inverse was changed from RFI to AFI.
Mon Sep 24 12:00:00 2001 Andrew Makhorin <mao@mai2.rcnet.ru>
edit * GLPK 3.0.2 has been released.
* glpfhv.h, glpfhv.c
New version of the basis maintaining routines was implemented.
These routines, which are based on so called FHV-factorization
(a variety of LU-factorization) and Gustavson's data structures,
perform the main operations on the basis matrix faster at the
expense of some worsening numerical accuracy.
* glprsm.h, glprsm/afi.c
The routines, which implement AFI (Advanced Form of the
Inverse) based on FHV-factorization, were added to the package.
This new form is available via the parameter form = 3 (on API
level) or via the option --afi (in GLPSOL solver).
* EFI was renamed to PFI
In order to correct terminology the acronym EFI (Elimination
Form of the Inverse) was replaced by PFI (Product Form of the
Inverse) everywhere in the source code and the documentation.
* glpset/umalloc.c, glpset/ucalloc.c
* glpset/get_atom.c, glpset/get_atomv.c
These memory management routines were changed in order *not* to
clear allocated memory blocks by binary zeros.

the package in more complex algorithmic schemes.
* glpapi/old_api.c
All routines related to old API were gathered in one file named
'old_api.c'.
* glpapi/*.c
These routines that implement new API were added to the package.

(Supplement to GLPK User's Guide)" in plain text format was
included in the package (see the file 'language.txt' in the
subdirectory 'doc' of the distribution).
* ex/model1.lpm, ex/model2.lpm
Two examples of model descriptions written in GLPK/L were added
to the package.
* sample/glpsol.c
This program was modified in order: a) to allow processing
model description written in GLPK/L; b) to allow solving pure
LP problem using the interior point method.
* sample/glpipm.c
This program was removed from the package, because its function
was passed to the GLPSOL solver.

These routines (that implement the branch-and-bound method) were
re-programmed in order to improve robustness of implementation.
In particular, heuristic routines were carried out from the main
driver routine.
Additional GLPK API routines were documented.
New edition of the document "GLPK User's Guide" was included in
the package.
The preliminary document "Mixed Integer Programming Using GLPK

Guide.
Thu Mar 15 12:00:00 2001 Andrew Makhorin <mao@mai2.rcnet.ru>
edit * GLPK 2.2 has been released.
Now GLPK includes a tentative implementation of the
branch-and-bound procedure based on the dual simplex method for
mixed integer linear programming (MIP).
The preliminary document "Mixed Integer Programming Using GLPK
Version 2.2 (Supplement to GLPK User's Guide)" was included into
the package in plain text format (see the file 'mip.txt' in the
subdirectory 'doc' of the distribution).
* glpmip.h, glpmip/*.c, glpapi/glp_integer.c
These routines (that implement the branch-and-bound method) were
added to the package.
* sample/glpsol.c
This program was modified in order to allow solving LP and MIP
problems.
* glprsm/rsm_primal.c, glprsm/rsm_dual.c, glprsm/rsm_feas.c,

edit * GLPK 2.1 has been released.
* glprsm.h, glprsm/*.c
These routines (that implement components of the revised simplex
method) were re-programmed and documented.

Thu Jan 25 12:00:00 2001 Andrew Makhorin <mao@mai2.rcnet.ru>
edit * GLPK 2.0 has been released.
Now GLPK includes a tentative implementation of the primal-dual
interior point method for large-scale linear programming (for
more details see the file `NEWS' in the distribution). A number
of routines related to the interior point method were added to
the package.
* insist.c
The routine `insist' and the macro of the same name were
introduced into the package in order to replace the standard
macro `assert'. Some routines require the expression specified
in the `assert' macro to be evaluated, but compiling the package
with NDEBUG option prevents from that. This bug was fixed due to
bug report provided by Peter A. Huegler <phuegler@bsco.com>.
* Makefile.in
Minor bug was fixed due to a patch provided by Alexandre Oliva
<oliva@lsd.ic.unicamp.br>.
