3.1.3 - 2021-04-23

Fixed

  • check for NULL pointers when creating Solution objects (will return None): #494

3.1.2 - 2021-04-07

Added

  • add more SCIP functions: getNTotalNodes, getNIntVars, getNBinVars

Fixed

  • getTransformedVar now uses SCIPgetTransformedVar instead of SCIPtransformVar which captures the variable

Added

  • add parameter genericnames to Model.writeProblem() to allow for generic variable and constraint names

Fixed

  • strip quotes from SCIPOPTDIR path variable that might confuse Windows systems

Added

  • allow creation of implicit integer variables
  • make some more SCIP functionality available

  • fix reference counters for Python constraints

3.0.1 - 2020-07-05

Added

  • expose even more SCIP functionality in scip.pxd

Changed

  • Model.from_ptr and Model.to_ptr use a PyCapsule to exchange the SCIP pointer rather than an integer.
  • mark getDualMultiplier() as deprecated, only getDualSolLinear() is supposed to be used to get duals of constraints

Removed

  • removed __div__ from Expr and GenExpr to make it compatible with cython 0.29.20

Added

  • add Model.getParams that returns a dict mapping all parameter names to their values
  • add Model.setParams to set multiple parameters at once using a dict
  • Add Model.from_ptr and Model.to_ptr to interface with SCIP* managed outside of PySCIPOpt
  • add NULL pointer checks to all Python wrapper classes
  • add Event.getRow() and Row.name
  • expose domain changes, bound changes, branching decisions, added constraints for nodes
  • define Python object identity based on underlying SCIP object pointers, so that e.g. rows and columns can be added to sets, and testing for equality is consistent over time.

  • add Model.applyCutsProbing and Model.propagateProbing
  • add Model.separateSol
  • add methods to work with nonlinear rows
  • adds new "threadsafe" parameter to the PyBendersCopy member function. Also, the "threadsafe" parameter can be passed when creating a Model instance
  • adds the boolean return options of "infeasible" and "auxviol" to the Benders.benderspresubsolve function. "infeasible" indicates that the input solution induces an infeasible instance of at least one Benders' subproblems. "auxviol" indicates that the objective value of at least on Benders' subproblem is greater than the auxiliary variable value.
  • adds chgVarUbProbing and chgVarLbProbing to change a variables upper or lower bound during probing mode.

Changed

  • Node.getParent() returns None if the node has no parent
  • remove Python 2.7 support
  • fix documentation errors
  • setupBendersSubproblem now requires a checktype input. This input indicates the reason for solving the Benders' subproblems, either enforcing the LP, relaxation or pseudo solution (LP, RELAX or PSEUDO) or checking a candidate primal feasible solution (CHECK).
