GLPK 1.1 -- Release information
===============================

Release date: Nov 27, 2000

GLPK (GNU Linear Programming Kit) is intended for solving large scale
linear programming problems by means of the revised simplex method.
It is a set of routines written in the ANSI C programming language and
organized in the form of a library.

GLPK implements the following main features:

* application program interface (API);
* sparse matrix technique;
* sparse gaussian elimination based on Markowitz strategy and Duff
  search technique;
* elimination form of the inverse (EFI);
* Reid form of the inverse (RFI) provided with Bartels-Golub and
  Forrest-Tomlin updating technique;
* steepest edge pricing (for both primal and dual simplex);
* Harris two-pass pivoting technique (for both primal and dual simplex);
* reading and writing LP problem data using MPS format.

GLPK has been successfully tested on a large set of real LP problems, in
particular, on the famous collection of test LP problems from Netlib.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE CURRENT VERSION OF GLPK IS TENTATIVE.
