GLPK 4.5 — Release Information

Release date: Jul 19, 2004

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.

In 4.5:

The branch-and-bound solver was completely re-implemented using
new data structures. The new implementation provides the same
functionality as the old one (with exception that fixing by reduced
costs was added as a feature).

Memory allocation routines (umalloc, ucalloc, ufree) were
modified in order to allow compiling the package on 64-bit
platforms.

GLPK distribution can be ftp’ed from <ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/glpk/>
