GLPK 3.1 -- Release Information
*******************************

Release date: May 27, 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 has been completed and
included in the package.

These new API routines were designed to attain much more flexible and
efficient interaction between the application program, LP/MIP problem
instances, and solver routines. Based on completely changed data
structures they are, however, similar to the old API routines and able
to provide the same functionality.

Description of the new API routines is given in the document "GLPK
Reference Manual", a draft edition of which is included in the package
(see the files 'refman.latex', 'refman.dvi', and 'refman.ps' in the
subdirectory 'doc').

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