GLPK 4.61 Release Information
*****************************
Release date: January 22, 2017
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 C89 and
organized as a callable library.
In this release:
An option was added to build a re-entrant version of the
package suitable for running in a multi-threaded environment.
This option is enabled by default on configuring the package
if the compiler used supports the thread local storage class
specifier (e.g. _Thread_local or __thread). Thanks to
David Monniaux <address@hidden> for suggestion and
Chris Matrakidis <address@hidden> for configure.ac patch.
A re-entrant version of the package allows running multiple
independent instances of glpk in different threads of a multi-
threaded application. Note that glpk is not thread-safe by
design, so if the application calls glpk routines from multiple
threads, no thread may access glpk program objects (glp_prob,
glp_tree, etc.) created by other threads; besides, each thread
before termination should call the API routine glp_free_env to
prevent memory leak.
A DLL support was added. Thanks to Heinrich Schuchardt
<address@hidden> for contribution.
Some changes were made to allow compiling the package using
stdcall calling convention (this is needed only for compiling
GLPK with MSVC to run under MS Windows).
