GLPK 3.0.8 -- Release Information
*********************************

Release date: May 13, 2002

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 in the form of a callable library.

A preliminary implementation of new API routines was included in the
package. These new API routines are intended to provide much more
flexible interaction between the application program, LP/MIP problem and
solver routines. For details see the document "New GLPK API Routines"
(the file 'newapi.txt' in the subdirectory 'doc') also included in the
package.

The API routines glp_simplex2, glp_call_ipm1, and glp_call_bbm1 were
renamed, respectively, to glp_simplex, glp_interior, and glp_integer in
order to reflect changes in implementation. The API routines
glp_call_rsm1, glp_simplex1, glp_pivot_in, glp_pivout_out were removed
from the package since they are completely supreseded by the new API
routines (however, these routines still can be found in the subdirectory
'oldsrc'). Please consult a new edition of the document "GLPK User's
Guide" about all these changes in the existing GLPK API routines.

The document "GLPK Library Reference" was removed from the package
(but still can be found the subdirectory 'oldsrc') since it describes
the obsolete library routines, most of which are no longer used.

Please note that the current version of GLPK is *tentative*.
