Interface changes

New parameters with default values

  • presolve.maxrounds = -1 : maximal number of rounds (-1: unlimited, 0: cleanup)
  • introduced preprocessor variable PAPILO_API_VERSION to indicate API changes

Data structures

Fixed bugs

  • SingletonCols: normalize if substituting constraint in the objective (primal-postsolve only)

Performance improvements

  • Symmetries: For binary problems ParallelCols adds symmetry-breaking constraints to avoid introducing non-binary integer variables via parameter

Interface changes

  • CML: new options dual-reduced-solution/costs-reduced-solution/basis-reduced-solution to pass the dual/reduced costs/basis information of the reduced solution via command-line to PaPILO in the postsolve call
  • Boost: program_options is no longer required but needed to use PaPILO via command-line.

New API functions

Changed parameters

New parameters with default values

  • verification_with_VeriPB = 0 : should PaPILO print a VeriPB log (only for PseudoBoolean problems)?
  • veripb.verify_propagation = 0 : how to log the proof of verification? 0: reverse unit propagation, 1: Addition in polish notation

New parameters with default values

  • max_consecutive_rounds_of_only_bound_changes = 500: PaPILO resumes with the next higher complexity class if the last n rounds only consisted of bound changes

Fixed bugs
