Here we list changes of Ipopt since the release of version 3.0.0. More detailed information about incremental changes can be found in the commit history. 2021-02-24: 3.13.4 - Fixed a linking issue for ipopt_sens [#418] - Fixed Makefile for Java example regarding location of jar file - Fixed build of R interface if using -fvisibility=hidden. 2020-10-16: 3.13.3 - Members of AmplTNLP class are now protected instead of private. - Updated Eclipse Public License from 1.0 to 2.0. - Fixed dangling pointer problems with Journalist used for debugging (--with-ipopt-verbosity > 0) when more than one IpoptApplication is used. [#393, thanks to Brad Bell] - Fixed build problem when using HSL library that does not include MA27, MA57, or MC19. [#395] - Added example recursive_nlp that uses Ipopt to solves an optimization problem for the evaluation of the objective function. [contributed by Brad Bell] - Fixed build of linear-solver loader on Windows [#408] 2020-04-30: 3.13.2 - The C-preprocessor defines COIN_IPOPT_CHECKLEVEL, COIN_IPOPT_VERBOSITY, and FORTRAN_INTEGER_TYPE, which are defined by IpoptConfig.h, have been renamed to IPOPT_CHECKLEVEL, IPOPT_VERBOSITY, and IPOPT_FORTRAN_INTEGER_TYPE, respectively. They are still available under their previous name, but these will be removed in Ipopt 3.14. - Changed dependencies as used by coinbrew to use new versions (2.1) of ThirdParty/HSL and ThirdParty/MUMPS and dropped ThirdParty/Metis. The new versions of the HSL and MUMPS build scripts now look for a Metis library in the system and should work with both Metis 4 and Metis 5. - Changed location where Java interface jar gets installed from $libdir to $datadir/java/. - minor fixes to buildsystem 2020-03-11: 3.13.1 - Added asserts that check whether sparsity pattern of Jacobian and Hessian as returned by TNLP are within range w.r.t. number of variables and constraints. [#350] - TNLPAdapter::ResortBnds now initializes complete output arrays with 0.0 before filling in values for non-fixed variables. Use new argument clearorig to turn this off. [#352] - bring back configure variables ADD_{C,CXX,F}FLAGS - added configure option --enable-relocatable to make prefix in pkg-config files relative to pcfiledir (assuming that --libdir hasn't been set) - bring back configall_system.h for build without config header - minor fixes to buildsystem 2019-10-19: 3.13.0 This major release comes with a larger renovation of the build system and a changed directory structure (eliminated top directory), which is the result of a long and still on-going effort to use recent autotools versions for various COIN-OR projects, reduce future maintenance efforts, and adapting behaviors of standard autotools-based projects. As a consequence, a monolithic build of Ipopt, which builds Ipopt with all its dependencies in one run of configure and make is no longer possible. Dependencies should now be build and installed before building Ipopt. Additionally, support for some outdated versions of dependencies and unmaintained components of Ipopt have been dropped and some improvements that may require changes on the users side have been applied. A more detailed, probably incomplete, list of changes follows: - Removed git submodules. Dependencies (HSL, Mumps, ASL, etc) now need to be build and installed in advance, either manually or by using coinbrew. - Dropped support for HSL < 2013. - Dropped support for MA28 in the linear solver loader. - Dropped support for Pardiso < 4.0 from pardiso-project.org. - Added support for Mumps 5.2.x, though initial experiments on CUTEst indicated that, on average, performance is worse than when using Mumps 4.10.0. - Dropped CUTEr interface, the successor CUTEst includes an interface to Ipopt. - Dropped Matlab interface as it is unmaintained and it was reported that it stopped functioning. Use https://github.com/ebertolazzi/mexIPOPT instead. - Dropped MSVS project files as unmaintained and not functioning with current Ipopt anymore. - Integrated Java interface into the main Ipopt library, that is, it is handled equivalently to the C and Fortran interfaces: - The source moved into src/Interfaces. - The JNI functions are now included in the main Ipopt library, thus an extra jipopt library is no longer build or necessary. - The Java class and org.coinor.ipopt.jar package are build and installed as part of the main Ipopt build. - The examples moved into examples/*_java. - A Java interface test is executed by make test. - To build javadoc, run make javadoc in the main build directory. - The configure flag --disable-java can be used to disable the check for Java and build of the Java interface. - DLLPATH and DLLNAME have been removed from the Ipopt class and constructors that works without arguments and with only one argument (specifying the Ipopt library namestem) have been added. - Method Ipopt::finalize has been marked as deprecated and will be removed in some future Ipopt version. Users must call dispose() explicitly. - Integrated sIpopt into the main Ipopt build, that is, it is now build together with Ipopt, but installed as separate library and executable. Use --disable-sipopt to disable building sIpopt. - IPOPT_THREAD_LOCAL now uses C++11's thread_local keyword if C++11 is available. - When using a GCC-compatible compiler, Ipopt and sIpopt interface functions are now declared with visibility(default)-attribute, thus building Ipopt with -fvisibility=hidden still produces a usable library. - When using a MSVC-compatible compiler, Ipopt and sIpopt interface functions are now declared with dllimport-attribute, so that an Ipopt C++ DLL can be used. - Under Windows/Msys2, DLLs are now build by default. - Cygwin and MSys1 are not supported. - pkg-config is now mandatory to use dependencies like ASL or HSL. On Windows, make sure to use a pkg-config version that produces Unix-style paths. - Script "compile" is now used to wrap around calls of cl/icl/ifort and translate GCC-style compiler flags to MSVC style. - "Addlibs" files have been removed, pkg-config should be used instead. - Header files are now installed in the better named $prefix/include/coin-or instead of $prefix/include/coin - The default for --prefix is no longer the build directory, but the autotools-default, probably /usr/local. - The check for a Fortran compiler can be disabled via --disable-f77 and Ipopt can easier be build without a Fortran compiler. - Lapack is no longer optional, but required. The separate check for Blas and the --with-blas flags have been removed. - --enable-debug does not imply --disable-shared anymore. - Removed --enable-debug-ipopt, use --enable-debug instead. - Removed configure variables ADD/OPT/DBG_C/CXX/F77FLAGS. Use C/CXX/F77FLAGS instead. - Silent build output is now enabled by default, use configure flag --disable-silent-rules or call make with V=1 to disable. - Also for static builds, PIC objects are now generated by default, use --without-pic to disable. - The --with-*-incdir and --with-*-lib configure flags have been replaced by corresponding --with-*-cflags and --with-*-lflags flags. Note that the include directories need to be specified via -I<dir> in --with-*-cflags. - Fixed handling of ma77_default_control in LSL_setMA77(). - Fixed calculation of quality function when setting option quality_function_centrality to reciprocal. - Fixed compiler warnings, in particular when using -Wunused-parameter. - Changed default for ma97_print_level to -1. This avoids messages about numerical singular systems written to stdout by default. 2019-04-08 releases/3.12.13 - fixed Pardiso settings when using Pardiso from Pardiso project website (by Olaf Schenk): the new settings should provide much better performance; the default for option pardiso_order changed from five to metis - changed distinction of MKL and Basel Pardiso in configure: to use MKL Pardiso, only specify MKL for Blas; to use Basel Pardiso, use --with-pardiso 2018-11-17 releases/3.12.12 - allow for --without-matlab-home to disable check for Matlab [r2748] - add dppsv to v8-ifort [r2746] - disable error in LibraryHandler.c if snprintf detection failed [r2751] 2018-09-16 releases/3.12.11 - fill Mumps struct with zeros when allocating in Mumps interface [r2724] - minor fix in build-system of ThirdParty/ASL 2018-06-02 releases/3.12.10 - fixed setting for parallel solve when using MKL Pardiso (by t1393988511) [r2711]: parallel solve was disabled (which is not the default); note, that the setting for parallel factorization was not affected - fixed invalid read in AMPL interface for problems without objective function [r2715, #305] - updated ThirdParty/ASL to retrieve updated ASL (20180528) [#305] - name JIpopt library libjipopt.dylib on Mac OS X [r2718, #275] 2018-01-15 releases/3.12.9 - fixed memory leak in MA86 interface (by mhahn) [r2700,#283] - fixed handling of time limit when reoptimizing: CPU time spend was accumulated when reoptimizing, while it should have been reset for each solve (by paul-scott) [r2702,r2703] - fixed sign in Jacobian finite-difference approximation when point was close to variable upper bounds (by Enrico Bertolazzi) [r2704] 2017-06-12 releases/3.12.8 - add define for FORTRAN_INTEGER_TYPE to config_ipopt_default.h - IpoptApplication::RethrowNonIpoptException() now returns whether non-ipopt exceptions were rethrown before the method was called. 2017-02-25 releases/3.12.7 - removed compiler flag -pedantic-errors to avoid problems with some configure tests when using recent GCC versions - fixed rare bug in handling variable/constraint names in AmplTNLP (by G. Hackebeil) [r2673] - the get.Mumps script in ThirdParty/Mumps now renames libseq/mpi.h to libseq/mumps_mpi.h to avoid conflicts when building in a MPI environment (by T. Ralphs); note that if updating an existing checkout/download of Ipopt, you may have to rerun get.Mumps 2016-07-20 releases/3.12.6 - better support for custom algorithm development [r2659] (by Gabriel Hackebeil) https://github.com/coin-or/Ipopt/pull/5: "Reorganization of the AlgorithmBuilder class to allow easier customization of the Ipopt algorithm. In particular, we wanted to make use of the code that creates the SymLinearSolver object to implement our own SymLinearSolver without copy-pasting everything in AlgorithmBuilder. AlgorithmBuilder::BuildBasicAlgorithm now consists of 8 method calls that build the core components passed into the arguments of the IpoptAlgorithm class. These calls are ordered based on any dependencies they might have. In addition, all code for creating the PDSystemSolver, AugSystemSolver, and SymLinearSolver has been moved into separate factory methods. Also, included is a change to install a few more header files with Ipopt. Some of these are required to subclass AlgorithmBuilder, and the others are simply some matrix types that we require." - extend build system to work without Fortran compiler [r2660,r2661] If no Fortran compiler is available (F77=unavailable), then the build system checks for functions in Blas, Lapack, and Pardiso via C linkage. This seems to work when using the Intel MKL, thus allowing to build Ipopt with C/C++ compilers and MKL only. The linear solver loader and the CuteR interface are disabled when no Fortran compiler is available. A user may have to adjust the definition of F77_FUNC in Ipopt/src/Common/IpoptConfig.h. 2016-04-30 releases/3.12.5 - changed fptr from long to void*: the Fortran side needs to make sure that it uses a big enough integer type to store a C pointer, thus void* can be used on the C side [r2599] - added additional second-order-correction method, which can be selected by setting the new option soc_method to 1 (by Wei Wan) [r2606, r2607] - added parameter allow_clobber with default value false to IpoptApplication::Initialize and OptionsList::ReadFromStream 2015-08-09 releases/3.12.4 - option to use regularized Hessian when doing a curvature test without inertia information (neg_curv_test_tol > 0), new option neg_curv_test_reg to switch back to original behavior (by N.-Y. Chiang and V. Zavala Tejeda) [r2579] - sIpopt: Added access to sensitivity directional derivative vector (ds/dp*(p-p0) Eq. 14 sIpopt implementation paper). Also, added an option to compute the sensitivity matrix and provide access to it. Finally, added an example that shows how to access the new information. (by R. Lopez-Negrete) - use workaround for failing check for random number generator with any gcc 4.8.x (x >= 2) 2015-04-15 releases/3.12.3 and releases/3.11.11 - fixed bug in MA97 interface that lead to conversion issues (by J. Hogg) [r2566, #260] 2015-04-04 releases/3.12.2 - revised integration of doxygen documentation into build system (by T. Ralphs) 2015-02-13 releases/3.12.1 - fixes to build system for dependency linking and library versioning - Ipopt will now report an NLP with inconsistent variable bounds or inconsistent constraints sides as infeasible instead of throwing an invalid TNLP exception (by T. Kelman) [r2548] 2015-01-23 releases/3.12.0 - Library dependencies are now recorded in shared library builds, which is intended to simplify linking against the Ipopt library. However, the pkg-config and ipopt_addlibs files do not reflect this change yet (it is rather experimental, imho). To restore the previous behavior, use --disable-dependency-linking as configure option. In case of problems, contact Ted Ralphs. - If linking against Intel MKL for Blas/lapack, use of Pardiso from MKL is now automatically enabled. Note, that this will change the default solver on Ipopt builds without any of the linear solvers MA27, MA57, MA97, and MA86 (these take preference over Pardiso). [#216] - dropped support for old HSL sources (<2013; ThirdParty/HSLold) - updated ASL sources, now downloaded from AMPL-MP (github) - some internal changes to data structures (improved use of compound component spaces) and addition of IpLapackDppsv (by Gabe Hackebeil) 2015-01-18 releases/3.11.10 - fix a memory allocation in Java interface in cases where jint has a different size than int [r2513] - the buildsystem now tries the Accelerate framework instead of vecLib for finding Blas/Lapack on MacOS X 2014-08-16 releases/3.11.9 - fix compilation issue of Java interface on systems where Index and jint have different size [r2498, #241] - work around failing check for random number generator with gcc 4.8.3 [r2495, r2496] - readded IpTaggedObject.cpp to list of sources to compile in MSVS v8-ifort project file [r2492] - work around missing support for thread-local storage with gcc < 4.5 on MacOS X [r2491, #243] - fix call to MKL Pardiso init function [r2489] - speed up Triplet to CSR converter [r2487, #234] - fixed a bug in equilibration scaling where average values were computed incorrectly (by V. Zverovich) [r2483] 2014-04-08 releases/3.11.8 - fixed a bug, introduced with Ipopt 3.11.0, where the tag in the Ipopt's caching mechanism was not unique over time, which lead ot failures of Ipopt that were difficult to debug or recognize (e.g., Ipopt may have stopped with an restoration failure for instances that solved fine with Ipopt 3.10) [r2472, r2473] I'm very thankful to Gabriel Hackebeil and Kurt Majewski for their debugging effort on this issue. - building Mumps with pthreads is now disabled by default [#229] - fixed setting of LD on Windows (now set to link only iff using MS/Intel compilers) [#230] - fixed download link for Gnumex [r2471] - for some messages about too-few-degrees-of-freedom and restoration failure, the message level changed from error to strong-warning [r2460, r2469] - revised calls to MPI_Init and MPI_Finalize in Mumps interface [r2467] (MPI_Init is now called only if function MPI_Initialized is available and MPI has not been initialized already; MPI_Finalize is only called if Ipopt also called MPI_Init; ...) 2013-12-18 releases/3.11.7 - adapted PARDISO parameters when using MKL PARDISO to be close to using Basel PARDISO - added options pardiso_max_iterative_refinement_steps and pardiso_order; the former defaults to 1 in case of MKL PARDISO, which may help on instances that otherwise fail due to numerical issues - removed duplicate code in IpQualityFunctionMuOracle.cpp [#225, r2445] - fixed bug in triplet to csr converter [#226, r2446] - minor changes in buildsystem 2013-11-16 releases/3.11.6 - updates to Matlab Interface build system (by T.

Currie) [r2366] - fixed new point flag when running dependendency detector [r2368] - experimental: adapt Pardiso interface to work with MKL Pardiso (by J. Currie, T. Kelman) [r2369, #216]: - in a few tests it has been found that Pardiso from Intel MKL nowadays seems to work fine with Ipopt - to use Intel MKL with Ipopt 3.11, one has to specify the MKL libs via --with-pardiso and add -DHAVE_PARDISO_MKL -DHAVE_PARDISO_PARALLEL to the compiler flags - note that this is still an experimental feature (and thus not enabled by default) - updated Ipopt/R interface to version 0.8.4 [r2373] - additional variables have been included in the object returned from ipoptr: z_L : final values for the lower bound multipliers z_U : final values for the upper bound multipliers constraints : final values for the constraints lambda : final values for the Lagrange multipliers - removed ipoptr_environment as argument in ipoptr (see also r2372) - fixed bug in penalty term for centrality in quality function (not used by default) [#219, r2374] - minor bugfixes in AMPL interface, debug print statements, and compound matrix (by G. Hackebeil) [#218, r2371, r2377, r2378, r2379] - download scripts for ASL, Blas, and Lapack now first try to download tarball copies from the COIN-OR server 2013-08-08 releases/3.11.3 - get.* scripts for ThirdParty/{ASL,Blas,Lapack} now work around broken ftp access to www.netlib.org. 2013-07-01 releases/3.11.2 - changed default for option option_file_name to ipopt.opt; specifying an empty string for this option now disables reading of an option file [r2339] - missing initial values are now set to 0.0, projected onto variable bounds, in AMPL interface [r2340, #205] - fixed missing variable initialization in MA97 interface [r2341, #206] 2013-06-14 releases/3.11.1 - the setup for the v8-ifort MSVS project changed to use dynamic runtime DLLs instead of static linking, which caused crashes in debug mode (by M. Roelofs) [r2301] - fixed memory leaks in Java Interface (by javier) [#200, r2312] - updates and fixes to MA77 and MA87 interfaces, adding support of HSL 2013 codes (by J. Hogg); HSL 2012 still supported when compiled with Ipopt, but the linear solver loader to dynamically load a HSL library at runtime now assumes HSL 2013 - added option ma97_solve_blas3 (by J. Hogg) [r2329] - changed default for option ma27_meminc_factor from 10.0 to 2.0 [r2330] - fixed bug in ipopt_auxdata of MATLAB Interface related to iterfunc [r2325] 2013-05-07 releases/3.11.0 - update and extension of Ipopt documentation - updated build of doxygen documentation to comply with other COIN-OR projects - localized global variables in TaggedObject and RegisteredOption, so that Ipopt should now be threadsafe as long as Ipopt objects (esp. SmartPtr's) are not shared between threads and a threadsafe linear solver is used (e.g., MA27) [#167] - no more need for whitespace character at end of options file - added options print_frequency_iter and print_frequency_time to regulate which iteration summary lines should be printed [#161] - function evaluation timings are now available in OrigIpoptNLP [#86] - some fixes to uncommon issues with the Ipopt SmartPtr [#162] - new build system for Harwell codes (ThirdParty/HSL), which requires the coin-hsl archives from http://www.hsl.rl.ac.uk/ipopt/; previously downloaded HSL sources can still be used by placing them into ThirdParty/HSLold, but this option may be removed in a future Ipopt version - new interfaces for Harwell codes HSL_MA77, HSL_MA86, and HSL_MA97; see http://www.hsl.rl.ac.uk/ipopt/ about help on when to use which solver; especially MA57 and HSL_MA97 should be considered as replacement for MA27; however, MA27 is still the default for now - changed default of ma57_automatic_scaling to no (faster in general, but for higher reliability, you may want to set this option to yes) - major improvements for building the MATLAB interface (see documentation) - MATLAB interface now returns number of function evaluations, too - the MA57 interface can now be used with the MA57 library that comes with MATLAB (configure option --enable-matlab-ma57; cannot use Metis) - auxdata is now handled by a wrapper function ipopt_auxdata.m instead of internally within the mex code (replace Matlab call to ipopt with ipopt_auxdata if using auxiliary data in any callbacks) [r2282] - exposed more intermediate Ipopt information to iterfunc callback [r2283] - fixes to JIpopt buildsystem (now may work on windows and uses libtool) - JIpopt now reads options file ipopt.opt by default, if present - removed predefined KEY_ strings in JIpopt - renamed API functions that retrieve solution values in JIpopt - simplified installation of R interface 2013-05-05 releases/3.10.4 - fixed sign of dual values in AMPL solution again (with help of Gabe) [r2169, r2170, r2184, #183] - fixed bugs with reoptimizing a TNLP with all variables fixed [r2172, r2173, #179] - fixed more issues with sparse data structures and non-double numbers in Matlab interface (by T.

The time for the objective function gradient had been forgotten. 2009-10-29 releases/3.8.0 - Added MSVC solution with Intel Fortran compiler to generate DLLs (contributed by Marcel Roelofs). To make this work, a lot of methods in exported headers have been made virtual - changed default convergence tolerance in restoration phase (now same as regular tolerance) - output is flushed after each iteration 2009-10-06 releases/3.7.1 - bugfix for square problems - correct timinig information (obj gradient was forgotten) - flush output buffer after each iteration - first code for iterative WSMP version (experimental and undocumented) 2009-07-16 releases/3.7.0 - a number of fixes (including those from 2009 COIN Bug Squashing Party) - changes in some exposed header files to provide access to internal data structures for specific applications 2009-05-01 releases/3.6.1 - minor corrections in tutorial files 2009-04-29 releases/3.6.0 - new Matlab interface - added new option to limit cpu time (max_cpu_time) - added ThirdParty directory for Metis to be used with MUMPS or MA57 - updated CUTEr Makefile to make it work with CUTEr2 - added files for a tutorial (including coding exercise) 2009-01-13 releases/3.5.5 - minor fixes regarding compilation - undocumented version of inexact method 2008-09-29 releases/3.5.4 - changed to MUMPS version 4.8.3 in externals (Mumps developers seem to have removed 4.8.1). 2008-09-19 releases/3.5.3 - changed back to MUMPS version 4.8.1 since there seem to be issues on Windows 2008-09-18 releases/3.5.2 - changed to latest version of MUMPS (4.8.2) - some bugfixes (linear algebra objects, automatic problem scaling) - made sure the subversion revision number is correct in all files - allowed general additional data and cq in IpData and IpCq 2008-08-26 releases/3.5.1 - changed to latest version of MUMPS (4.8.1) 2008-08-25 releases/3.5.0 - added ComputeRowAMax and ComputeColAMax methods to Matrix base class - changed externals for MUMPS to stable/1.1 - call finalize solution in more failure cases (this means that AMPL writes .sol file in more situations) - added IpTNLPReducer as simple way to exclude constraints from problem - several fixes, also from COIN Bug Squashing Party 2008 2008-07-18 releases/3.4.2 - some bug fixes - added wallclock time routine - penalty function version does not longer crash if it wants to go to restoration phase (not that this really helps converence though) 2008-05-30 releases/3.4.1 - some bug fixes - deleted v9 MSVC files again (since v8 works fine for v9) - print Ipopt version in default print level - added option that allows to change name of options file (option_file_name) 2008-04-25 releases/3.4.0 - added support to dynamically load HSL or Pardiso: If Ipopt has been compiled without some HSL or Pardiso solver, it can now load those solvers from a shared library at runtime without recompilation. This will make ditribution of binaries easier. Does not work on all platforms yet. - several bugfixes - ensured compilation of MSVS project files (v8 and v9) - new special return code for square problems (Feasible_Point_Found returned if dual inf not small) - new initialization option for bound multipliers (see option bound_mult_init_method) - added simple penalty function line search option (line_search_method=penalty) - not guaranteed to converge, see Ipopt implementation paper (in MathProg) - some very basic method to approximate constraint Jacobian by finite differences (not efficient, but will hopefully be extended) 2008-02-28 releases/3.3.5 - corrected links for Ipopt mailing list - added missing Makefile.in for Matlab interface - the addlibs* files are now installed in share/doc/coin/Ipopt instead of lib - updates in Matlab interface - bugfix for ticket #56 2007-12-27 releases/3.3.4 - headers are now installed in include/coin (no longer in include/ipopt) - default for dual_inf_tol is now 1 (instead of 1e-4) - In matlab interface, here the text from Peter Carbonetto: There have been several significant changes made to the MATLAB interface since the last release. The most important two changes are: 1) Following the "warm start" feature of IPOPT, you may pass in initial estimates for the Lagrange multipliers. 2) Callback routines for computing the objective, gradient (etc.) are now specified using function handles instead of strings. (Thanks to Marcus Brubaker at the University of Toronto for the initial suggestion.) 2007-09-25 releases/3.3.3 - minor changes, bug fixes 2007-06-20 releases/3.3.1 synchronized with all changes in trunk; probably more than to be remembered. In the following a few: - support for Mumps linear solver (contributed by Damian Hocking) - --print-options flag for ipopt ASL solver executable to see all Ipopt options (available through ipopt.opt file) - added Matlab interface (contributed by Peter Carbonetto) - added support for f2c compiler to compiler Fortran code with MSVC++ compiler - new MSVisualStudio support (now within MSVisualStudio project and also with f2c) - a number of small changes/bug fixes/improvements - small change in interface (e.g., FinalizeSolution method) 2007-04-24 releases/3.2.4 - updated download script for Blas to fit netlib's recent changes - using a more recent version of BuildTools 2006-11-29 release/3.2.3 - updated download script for Lapack to fit to netlib's recent changes 2006-10-11 stable/3.2 r795 - Bugfix in L-BFGS update - fix in configure with detection of sizeof(int *) on Cygwin 2006-07-14 - version 3.2.1 - dev release number 764 - Bugfix in least square multiplier estimate. It mainly showed up in LBFGS with restoration phase as seg fault 2006-07-07 - version 3.2.0 - dev 757 - changed installation procedure and directory structure to conform with new COIN-OR convention 2006-04-08 - version 3.1.0 - dev release number 714 Several bug-fixes, improvements and additions. In particular: - new quasi-Newton approximation using L-BFGS - interfaces to linear solver MA57, WSMP, Pardiso (MUMPS and TAUCS not yet completed) - derivative checker - unit test - configure supports compilation under Cygwin with native Windows compilers - ScalableExample - user call-back method in TNLP 2005-12-04 - version 3.0.1 - fixes independent of dev (already taken care of there) Several corrections to Windows files Fix termination if number of iterations is exceeded in restoration phase 2005-08-26 - version 3.0.0 - dev release number 510 First official release of the new C++ implementation of Ipopt.
