GLPK 4.42 -- Release Information
********************************

Release date: Jan 13, 2010

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_check_dup         check for duplicate elements in sparse
                              matrix
        glp_sort_matrix       sort elements of the constraint matrix
        glp_read_prob         read problem data in GLPK format
        glp_write_prob        write problem data in GLPK format
        glp_analyze_bound     analyze active bound of non-basic variable
        glp_analyze_coef      analyze objective coefficient at basic
                              variable
        glp_print_ranges      print sensitivity analysis report (this
                              routine replaces lpx_print_sens_bnds and
                              makes it deprecated)

        For description of these new routines and the GLPK LP/MIP
        format see a new edition of the reference manual included in
        the distribution. (Chapter "Graph and network API routines" was
        carried out from the main reference manual and included in the
        distribution as a separate document.)

        The following new command-line options were added to the stand-
        alone solver glpsol:
        --glp filename        read problem data in GLPK format
        --wglp filename       write problem data in GLPK format
        --ranges filename     print sensitivity analysis report (this
                              option replaces --bounds)

        Now all GLPK routines performing file I/O support special
        filenames "/dev/stdin", "/dev/stdout", and "/dev/stderr", which
        can be specified in the same way as regular filenames. This
        feature is plaform-independent.
