CHANGELOG

Release 0.92.3

• Update dependencies
• Minor bug fix
• Add support for Appveyor and Travis
• Install examples with DipPy

Release 0.92.2

• Get rid of pesky global variable DecompInf
• Fix bugs in wedding planner example
• Fix bugs in DipPy to allow returning no solutions, even when an exact subprobem solver is used and to allow no branching candidates when branching.

Release 0.91.6

• Fixed bugs in Wedding Planner example.
• Fixed bug in DipPy having to do with branching.

Release 0.92.1

• Fixed problem with dependency linking

Release 0.91.5

• Fixed bug with SYMPHONY when not all solutions are accepted.

Release 0.92.0

• Substantially re-designed internals
• Renamed classes, functions, and parameters more intuitively
• Eliminated unnecessary "MILP" parameter section and joined it to "DECOMP," as well as making "DECOMP" the default parameter section name.
• Changed parameter setting mechanism to make it possible to pass parameters directly to solvers using native names.
• Added interface to Gurobi
• Added ability to select solver at run-time rather than compile-time.
• In DipPy, the user can now return a status in the subproblem solve to indicate whether the subproblem was solved exactly. Previously, DipPy solved the subproblem to optimality internally whenever no solution was returned, which is unnecessary if the user's subproblem solver is exact. It also means that the user was previously required to provide a full description of the subproblem.

Release 0.91.4

• Fixed bugs in examples
• Updates to dependencies
• Samll bug fixes

Release 0.91.4

• Fixed bugs in examples
• Updates to dependencies

Release 0.91.2

• Fixed issue with master only variable when solving master as an integer program.
• Added ability to generate multiple columns per iteration with SYMPHONY and Cbc.

Release 0.91.1

• Warm starting for solutions of subproblems is supported when using SYMPHONY as the subproblem solver.
• Unbounded feasible regions now supported.
• Explicit treatment of master-only variables.
