@section RN1000 SCIP 10.0.0
***************************

Features and Performance Improvements
-------------------------------------

### Exact Solving
- added numerically exact solving mode for mixed-integer linear programs to the core framework including certification of branch-and-bound phase
- core extensions:
  - new wrapper struct SCIP_RATIONAL for rational arithmetic currently based on Boost, GMP, and MPFR
  - new data structure SCIP_LPEXACT for handling rational LP relaxation and computing safe dual bounds
  - new interfaces to exact LP solvers SoPlex and QSopt_ex
  - safe dualproof version of conflict analysis
  - new data structure SCIP_CERTIFICATE for certificate printing/proof logging
- new plugins:
  - new constraint handler "exactlinear" for handling linear constraints with rational data
  - new constraint handler "exactsol" to post-process and repair solutions from floating-point heuristics
- plugins revised for numerically exact solving mode:
  - adjusted readers for MPS, LP, CIP, OPB/WBO, and ZIMPL files
  - extended presolver "milp" to perform rational presolving with PaPILO
  - adjusted constraint handler "integral" and default reliability pseudo-cost branching rule "relpscost"
  - extended Gomory cut separator to separate and certify numerically safe MIR cuts
  - adjusted all primal heuristics (except for five dedicated MINLP heuristics)
- new interfaces to exact LP solvers SoPlex and QSopt_ex

### Symmetry Handling
- added more techniques to handle reflection symmetries, in particular, for orbitopes with column reflections and matrices whose rows and columns can be permuted by a symmetry
- Dejavu can be used to compute symmetries; the source code is shipped with SCIP and incorporates sassy
- implemented symmetry detection callbacks for disjunction and superindicator constraint handlers
- detailed information about applied symmetry handling techniques can be printed to the terminal
- improve memory usage by introducing different constraint handlers for full orbitopes and packing/partitioning orbitopes
- symmetry detection no longer treats implicit integer variables separately, but computes symmetries based on the variable type inferred from variable bounds and implied integrality
- extended the statistics to also include information about the number of variables (per type) affected by symmetry
- implemented method to compute new permutations from a given list of symmetry group generators
- cons_orbisack, cons_orbitope_full, cons_orbitope_pp, and cons_symresack now try to replace the stored aggregated variables by active ones at the end of presolving;
  this should reduce the size of copies of the presolved problem
- simplified symmetry detection graphs in case all edges have the same color

### Presolve
- distinguish implicit integrality of variables into strong and weak type, depending on whether integrality is implied for all feasible or only at least one optimal solution
- added a new presolver "implint", which detects implied integral variables by detecting (transposed) network submatrices in the problem; for now, this plugin is disabled by default
- added support for (transposed) network matrix detection
- allow multi-aggregation of unbounded slack variables, which may enable more bound tightening due to a reduction in the number of unbounded variables
- resolve all fixings in xor constraints also for an available integer variable

### Conflict Analysis
- added generalized resolution conflict analysis that operates directly on linear constraints instead of conflict graphs
- disabled dualsol and dualray conflict upgrades to maintain conflict store
- apply general conflict upgrades in conflict store

### Cutting Planes
- added a new separator "flower" to generate flower cuts from AND constraints and nonlinear product expressions
- added functionality to deal with hypergraphs by means of efficient access to vertices, edges, and intersections edges

### Primal Heuristics
- added decomposition kernel search (DKS) heuristic (disabled by default), which implements a kernel search framework;
  it can be used both as a construction heuristic as well as an improvement heuristic; existing decomposition information can be utilized
- reduced maximal fraction of diving LP iterations relative to total node LP iterations

### Branching
- added a dynamic max-lookahead criterion for strong branching; a probability distribution is fitted to the observed candidate gains and
  evaluating further candidates stops when the expected tree-size reduction no longer justifies the LP evaluation cost
- added new fields in history to store ancestral pseudo cost updates, used in the pseudo costs branching rule to compute discounted pseudo costs

### Nonlinearity
- added an interface to the NLP solver CONOPT
- implemented columnwise Jacobian sparsity computation in the NLP oracle
- extended SOC detection to simple bilinear constraints, e.g., x*y >= 1

### Infeasibility Analysis
- added the possibility to search for irreducible infeasible subsystems (IIS)
- added new plugin type for finding irreducible infeasible subsystems (IIS)
- new iisfinder plugin "greedy", which implements a greedy addition and deletion based algorithm with dynamic batch sizing

### Benders' Decomposition
- when solving a problem with additional decomposition information (for example, when reading a DEC file) and enabling decomposition/applybenders,
  the problem is now solved in a Benders' decomposition relaxator; instead of decomposing the original SCIP instance, the relaxator builds the decomposed problem in
  sub-SCIPs and solves it via default Benders' Decomposition; a solution to the original (undecomposed) problem is now made available by the relaxator;
  the SCIP shell dialog "display statistics" now also prints the statistics from solving the Benders' decomposition in the relaxator
- adds objective types for Benders' decomposition; the choices are to sum the subproblems objectives (classical approach) and to use the maximum of the subproblems objectives
- the linking master variables for each Benders' decomposition subproblem are now stored; these can be accessed for the generation of cuts and setting up the subproblems

### Reading and Writing
- added a new data structure SCIP_DATATREE that holds serializable data and a function to export to a JSON file
- added ability to collect statistics from tables in a SCIP_DATATREE and write out as JSON file;
  dialog write statistics now writes a JSON file if name of file to write ends with .json
- added writing support for AMPL NL writer: currently only general and specialized linear and nonlinear constraints can be written
- added support for AND-constraints to GAMS writer
- simplify expressions of nonlinear constraints in MPS and LP writing to increase chance that they are recognized as quadratic

### Applications
- New application "PBSolver" to solve pseudoboolean instances in OPB and WBO format while complying with PB competition rules
- Coloring: new parameter branching/coloring/strategy to choose the least/most fractional variable for branching

### Miscellaneous
- do not allow non-root restarts when no global fixings were found
- reimplemented SCIPvarGetActiveRepresentatives() by using dense arrays to avoid repeated resorting
- avoid unnecessary calls of constraint handlers components, benders, benderslp, propagator genvbounds, and heuristics ofins, subnlp, nlpdiving, indicator
- inlined SCIPgetStatus() to reduce computational overhead
- variable data pointer are now copied if no copy routine was supplied
- add check that parameter value pointers are unique, i.e., no two are the same

Interface changes
-----------------

### Deprecations

- The variable type \ref SCIP_VARTYPE_IMPLINT is deprecated in favor of a new enum \ref SCIP_IMPLINTTYPE that indicates if a
  variable is implied integral, independent of the variable type.
  The problem variable arrays is still sorted as:
  ```
   (0) | binary | integer | implied integral | continuous | (nvars),
  ```
  where the implied integral subsection is now subdivided into 3 parts (left to right):
  ```
  | binary implied integral | integer implied integral | continuous implied integral |
  ```
  SCIP 10 still supports using `SCIP_VARTYPE_IMPLINT` for backward compatibility, see SCIPcreateVar() and SCIPchgVarType() for more details.
  SCIP 11 will remove `SCIP_VARTYPE_IMPLINT`.
- SCIPsubversion() is deprecated and will be removed

### New and changed callbacks

- added SCIP_DECL_IISFINDERCOPY(), SCIP_DECL_IISFINDERFREE(), and SCIP_DECL_IISFINDEREXEC() for iisfinder implementations
- added a new callback SCIP_DECL_TABLECOLLECT() for the table plugin that collects the data for the specific statistics table in a SCIP_DATATREE object
- for a table plugin, only one of the callbacks SCIP_DECL_TABLECOLLECT() or SCIP_DECL_TABLEOUTPUT() needs to be implemented, but implementing both is preferred;
  if SCIP_DECL_TABLEOUTPUT() is omitted, then SCIP tries to print a table from the data given by SCIP_DECL_TABLECOLLECT()
- the callback SCIP_DECL_EXPRINTEGRALITY(), which returns the integrality of an expression, had its fourth argument changed from `SCIP_Bool*` to `SCIP_IMPLINTTYPE*` to represent implied integrality in nonlinear expressions,
  that is, an implied integral type of an auxiliary variable if the expression were assigned to it
- added argument `filename` to the SCIP_DECL_READERWRITE() callback in the 4th position
- the callback SCIP_DECL_READERWRITE() is equipped with `objoffset`, `objscale`, `objoffsetexact`, and `objscaleexact` as arguments 9 through 12 to write the exact objective offset and scale in exact mode

### Deleted and changed API functions

- the `#define` of `strcasecmp` and `strncasecmp` (in case of Windows builds) in scip/def.h will be removed with SCIP 10;
  use `SCIPstr(n)casecmp()` (scip/pub_misc.h) instead

@section RN900 SCIP 9.0.0
*************************

Features
--------

- added simplification of abs(x)^n to x^n when n is even (simplify rule POW12)
- in expression simplification, added possibility to expand power of sum with exponents larger than 2 (simplify rule POW7)
- in expression simplification, added possibility to expand products with sums as factor when there are more than two factors (simplify rule SP12b)
- in expression simplification, added possibility to allow expanding power of products with fractional exponent (simplify rule POW5a)
- can now build with Lapack (used for solving nonlinear problems) explicitly; if IPOPT is used, then Lapack is accessed through it;
  an interface to Lapack is available in lapack_calls.h
- added support for logical constraints in binary variables and basic logical operators (and, or, not, equal) to AMPL .nl reader
- indicator constraints now use the same slack variable for the linear constraints if binary variables are used multiple times
  for indicator constraints
- new diving heuristic indicatordiving that focuses on indicator variables which control semicontinuous variables
- updated statistics on NLP relaxation; information on convexity of NLP has been added
- added new bandit method (EXP.3-IX) that is the new default of the ALNS heuristic
- added dialog to display recognized permutation symmetries ("display symmetry")
- The symmetry detection code has been completely restructured. Instead of completely encoding symmetry information in
  prop_symmetry.c, there is a new callback for constraint handlers, which returns symmetry relevant information by
  encoding a constraint as a node and edge colored graph. This way, also custom constraint handlers can provide
  symmetry information.
- added special presolving step for logicor and set covering/packing for constraints with two variables and one independent variable
- increased the depth field of the tree structure from 16 to 30 bits and the max depth of the search tree from 65534 to 1073741822

- added new heuristic heur_scheduler that models the selection of LNS and diving heuristics as a multi-armed bandit problem
- added nonlinear handler for signomial expressions: adds cuts based on a difference of convex functions representation
- Delayed separators are now called if no other cuts have been found. Previously, such separators were only called near stalling or when the separation rounds limit was reached.
- added a new separator sepa_lagromory to generate Lagromory cuts in a relax-and-cut framework, i.e., GMI cuts generated
  at different bases that are explored in the process of solving the Lagrangian dual problem at a node. This separator
  is OFF by default.
- when parsing nonlinear constraints from CIP files, the * after the number in a term is now optional if followed by a variable,
  i.e., instead of 3*<x>*<y>, now also 3<x>*<y> can be read, but 3<x><y> is not supported;
  this allows to read some CIP files that were written with SCIP < 8
- when running bliss, we now limit the number of actually created generators and not the ones considered by bliss

Performance improvements
------------------------

- Variable conflict-based addition of Schreier-Sims cuts for symmetry handling in prop_symmetry.c does no longer use
  an expensive explicit conflict graph construction.
- Only run propagation of indicator constraints if relevant variables have changed.
- Propagation of indicator constraints propagates maximal activity of linear constraint to upper bound of slack variable.
- Added initialization of LP relaxation for SOC constraints.
- Avoided some numerical issues when separating SOC constraints.

- Try nearest bound if zero solution value is out of bounds in heuristic trivial.

Interface changes
-----------------

- The callback for copying problem data SCIP_DECL_PROBCOPY() now has a parameter "original" indicating whether the original
  or transformed problem should be copied. Similarly, SCIPprobCopy() in prob.h/c has such a parameter.
- Added CONSGETPERMSYMGRAPH and CONSGETSIGNEDPERMSYMGRAPH callback for constraint handlers, which provides symmetry information about constraints to SCIP.

- in cons_varbound if both variables are fixed, instead of propagating the constraint check the feasibility of the constraint since propagating can lead to unnecessary numerical troubles
- fixed memory leak in branching rule "distribution"
- fixed that undercover did not enforce that sufficiently many variables in an and-constraints were fixed to have it linearized in the generated sub-scip
- fixed two bugs in cons_varbound: avoid adding variable bounds if vbdcoef is infinite and unlock/lock variables if lhs/rhs/vbdcoef are changed
- globalize constraint changes before bound changes during the effective root shift in treeSwitchPath() to correctly update variable locks by avoiding global bounds with outstanding bound change events when deleting constraints
- fixed error when attempting to copy SCIP with activated pricers

  These handlers are plugins of cons_nonlinear and interact with cons_nonlinear by detecting structures in expressions and
  providing propagation and separation mechanisms.

  It then uses the callbacks implemented in expression handlers to provide domain propagation and linear under/overestimates.
- Added nlhdlr for quadratic expressions: domain propagation that was previously part of cons_quadratic; separation via intersection cuts (currently disabled).

  under/overestimates of these expressions by applying a perspective transformation.

  Removed possibility to pretend that all nonlinear constraints are convex.
  Removed possibility to create local or non-initial nonlinear constraints for now.

  An extended formulation is now generated implicitly and used to construct the LP relaxation,
  but the original formulation is used to check feasibility, propagate variable domains, etc.
  Variables that are added for the extended formulation are now marked as relaxation-only.
- Improved locking of nonlinear variables in nonlinear constraints by taking monotonicity into account.
- Improved mechanisms to detect and handle structures in nonlinear constraints, which allows for several algorithms
  to work simultaneously on equal or overlapping expressions.

  Removed option to linearize products between a binary and a non-binary variable.
- Nonlinear constraints with the same function (but possibly different left- or right-hand-side) are now merged.
- When a variable appears in only one concave less-or-equal constraint, it will be fixed to one of its bounds in more cases now.
- New branching rule for variables in nonlinear constraints (implemented in cons_nonlinear) that scores candidates
  based on constraint violation, variable type, and pseudo-costs simultaneously.
- Added tables to print statistics of nonlinear constraint handler and nonlinear handlers.

- Prefer branching on variables in nonconvex terms of nonlinear constraints also if a cut could be generated but would yield a small reduction in the convexification gap only.
- When violations of nonlinear constraints are tiny, the feasibility tolerance for the LP relaxation may now be reduced temporarily to allow for cuts to have an effect.
- Improved under/overestimation of multidimensional vertex-polyhedral (e.g., multilinear or concave) functions by use of scaling and keeping the cut-generating LP around.

### Command line interface
### Interfaces to external software

- removed GAMS interface (originally in interfaces/gams) and reading capability of gms reader;
  the removed interface was a poorly maintained copy of the GAMS/SCIP interface that is available at
  https://github.com/coin-or/GAMSlinks
- integrated AMPL interface into main SCIP executable, that is, added possibility to use SCIP executable as solver in AMPL
  (AMPL calls solver with name of .nl file and -AMPL as arguments; SCIP will then attempt to solve the problem and write an AMPL solution file)
- the ZIMPL interface has been updated to support ZIMPL 3.4.1;
  the minimal required ZIMPL version is now 3.4.1

Build system
------------

- the separate NLPI library has been integrated into the main SCIP library;
  uses of NLPILIBFILE or NLPILIBSRC in Makefiles that use make/make.project
  should be removed

### Cmake

- replace flag PARASCIP by THREADSAFE
- option AMPL is now ON by default
- add -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=600 cflag for compilation on systems other than windows
- add compile options directly instead of modifying CMAKE_C_FLAGS and CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS

### Makefile

- prefix PKG_CONFIG_PATH with Ipopt's pkgconfig dir instead of postfixing
- replace flag PARASCIP by THREADSAFE
- flag AMPL is now true by default
- libscip has been renamed to libscipbase and libscipsolver has been renamed to libscip
  in order to have the same library names for makefiles and cmake. For downward
  compatibility libscipsolver still exists (as a link).

Fixed bugs
----------

- fixed handling of multi-aggregation in cons_symresack and cons_orbisack
- SCIPgetLowerbound() now consistently returns infinity when status is infeasible
- improved the likelihood that a solution that satisfies the nonlinear constraints in the transformed (presolved) problem is also feasible for the original problem
- worked around a problem with derivatives of pow at 0 with non-integer exponents in CppAD
- fixed that setting of feasiblity and optimiality tolerance for NLP relaxation was overwritten with defaults when solving NLP
- fixed variance computation in t-value computation in hypothesis testing of reliability branching
- fixed potential overflow in cuts.c:evaluateLiftingFunctionKnapsack()
- do not transfer dual reductions to main SCIP in sepa_rapidlearning if strong dual reductions are forbidden
- fixed a bug in cons_setppc.c:removeDoubleAndSingletonsAndPerformDualpresolve() which led to wrong variable aggregations
- added missing redundancy check to coefficient tightening routine in cons_varbound that led to wrong variable locks
- added a check of numerics to avoid wrong reductions in cons_linear.c:simplifyInequalities()
- fixed a bug in cons_logicor.c regarding fixed variables that were not removed
- presol_milp.c handles variable fixings, suggested by PaPILO, more carefully to cover all cases that can appear
- fixed several reproducability bugs that led to different solving paths across multiple runs with one SCIP environment
- fixed check of limits/absgap, which was incorrectly applied to the scaled objective of the transformed problem

Miscellaneous
-------------

- in LP, use absolute instead of relative tolerances to check whether solutions from LP solver are primal feasible
- when a restart occurs, SCIP now asserts (during EXITSOLVE) that all relaxation-only variables are unlocked and
  only captured by the transformed problem.
- Avoid redundant calls to LP solver when LP is already flushed and solved
- In SCIPdebugMsg(), SCIPsetDebugMsg(), SCIPstatDebugMsg() strip directory from filename.
- Recompute activity of rows when checking LP solutions instead of trusting the value given by the LP solver
- The define NPARASCIP has been replaced by SCIP_THREADSAFE
- Parameters are not reset to their default values before activating an emphasis setting; this now allows to combine
  different emphasis settings.
- If a lazy bound is set to a value that is tighter than the current global bound, then the global bound is now tightened accordingly.

@page RN7 Release notes for SCIP 7

@section RN703 SCIP 7.0.3
*************************

Interface changes
-----------------

### New API functions

- added function SCIPwithDebugSol() to determine whether SCIP was compiled with WITH_DEBUG_SOLUTION

- New function SCIPcreateConsBounddisjunctionRedundant() and SCIPcreateConsBasicBounddisjunctionRedundant() that allow
  the input to contain redundant literals.

### Changed API functions

- added __attribute__((format(printf,,,))) to variadic SCIP message printing functions;
  this enables warnings about mismatches between format string and variadic function arguments if using GCC.

### Interfaces to external software

- removed MATLAB interface from interfaces/matlab

Build system
------------

- Compilation will now also work in a raw tarball of the scip git repository

### Cmake

- Make find_package more verbose and require packages to be found. Now enabled packages that are not found result in an error.

Fixed bugs
----------

- Fixed numerical bug by creating and checking the empty solution when problem vanishes in presolving.
- Fixed several bugs in reoptimization.
- Fixed bug in cons_bounddisjunction in which a constraint leads to a cutoff.
- Fixed bug in reoptimization by avoiding redundant literals for bound disjunctions.
- Replace wrong usage of CMAKE_BINARY_DIR by PROJECT_BINARY_DIR in CMake system

@section RN702 SCIP 7.0.2
*************************

Features
--------

- Extended check for valid variable and constraint names in PIP writer.
- Indicator constraints now write the name of the linear constraint in CIP format. This avoids a complicated
  name matching during parsing. The old format is still supported.

  they are captured by the transformed problem only.

@section RN700 SCIP 7.0.0
*************************

Features
--------

- Using the parameter "propagating/symmetry/recomputerestart" one can now decide to recompute symmetries after a
  restart or not. Previously one could just turn off symmetry computation after a restart. If orbital fixing
  has found a reduction before the restart occurred, symmetries have to be updated to ensure correctness.
  To this end, the user can decide via "propagating/symmetry/disableofrestart" whether orbital fixing is disabled or
   whether symmetries are recomputed.

- extended relaxators statistics in solve statistics about information on number of cutoffs, improved bounds, etc.

- extends SMPS file reader for the stochastic information, the sto files, to read a lower bound for the discrete
  scenarios. The lower bound is used when creating the auxiliary variables for Benders' decomposition.

- extended Benders framework to solve NLPs and generate optimality and feasibility cuts from their solution
  when the subproblem is convex nonlinear.

- extended Benders framework to create copies of Benders decompositions that can be used in a multithreading environment

- additional functionality has been added to enable the transfer of Benders' decomposition cuts between different SCIP
  instances, e.g., when used in UG

- LP rows (SCIP_ROW) can now store pointer to a constraint from which the row originates

- Trust region, a new LNS heuristic, has been added to SCIP as both a standalone primal heuristic heur_trustregion.c
  and as a neighborhood inside of Adaptive Large Neighborhood Search (heur_alns.c). This heuristic is designed to improve the
  heuristic performance of the Benders' decomposition algorithm. It builds upon the successful trust region approaches
  applied to Benders' decomposition.

- Modularity of symmetry handling has been increased. It is now possible to use orbitopes (i.e., polyhedral symmetry
  handling techniques) and orbital fixing on the same instance.

- cut strengthening enabled within the Benders' decomposition framework. This uses a mix of the Improved Magnanti-Wong
  method and Kelly's method. The cut strengthening is enabled by setting the paramemter
  "benders/<bendersname>/cutstrengthenenabled" to TRUE. The parameters "cutstrengthenmult", "noimprovelimit" and
  "corepointperturb" control the behavior of the cut strengthening method. Additionally, the parameter
  "cutstrengthenintpoint" allows the user to specify the solution that is used to initialize the core point. The options
  are the first LP solution, the first integer feasible solution, a relative interior point, a solution vector of all
  ones and a solution vector of all zeros. Also, the core point can be reinitialized after each update to the incumbent
  solution.

- added option to adjust weights of different scores in relpscost (hybrid) branching rule based on degeneracy information
  and skip strong branching for very high degeneracy rates

- added new SCIP_DECOMP* object to store user decompositions. The user can specify one or several decompositions by assigning variable
  and/or constraint labels either through the API or by reading a file in DEC format (which is one of the formats that GCG writes).
  This format specifies constraint labels, variable labels are inferred from that. The decomposition is transformed after presolving.
- statistics regarding the number of blocks, the largest and smallest blocks, the border, and the constraint graph are printed for the original decomposition,
  and for each decomposition after presolving.
- the decomposition can be used as initial decomposition for the Benders functionality of SCIP.
- new subsection "How to provide a problem decomposition" in the SCIP documentation

- GINS heuristic can make use of a user-provided decomposition labels in two ways:
 1. by selecting a block of variables that maximizes the potential, and randomly selecting a start variable for the neighborhood and/or
 2. by selecting an interval of consecutive blocks as neighborhood, until fixing rate is reached. In this case, no variable is randomly selected.

- extend potential parameter of GINS to allow computation based on local LP solution, as well

- new primal heuristic Adaptive Diving, which registers all publicly available dive sets from other diving heuristics.
  At each call, it selects one of the available dive sets based on the user's score type choice (heuristics/adaptivediving/scoretype).
  During the solution process, the heuristics learns online which divesets reach the best score, and executes them more frequently.
  The statistic output for Diving heuristics has been extended to incorporate the statistics of each dive set within Adaptive diving.

- Added new penalty alternating direction method (PADM) primal heuristic that splits the problem into several sub-SCIPs
  according to a user-provided decomposition. The sub-SCIPs are solved on an alternating basis until a feasible solution of
  the original problem is found.

- Symmetry handling constraints (cons_orbisack, cons_orbitope, cons_symresack) now have an additional parameter to encode
  whether they are model constraints, i.e., define the problem, or whether they are only present to handle symmetries.

- The symmetry code has been completely restructured. The presolvers presol_symbreak and presol_symmetry as well as the propagator
  prop_orbitalfixing have been merged into the single propagator prop_symmetry to avoid storing the same information
  multiple times. This propagator is now responsible for adding symmetry handling constraints as well as activating orbital
  fixing. Moreover, the new file symmetry.c contains general functions for symmetry computations like orbit computations.

- Variables can now be marked as "relaxation-only". This flag should be used to introduce new variables that are required
  to define a relaxation, but that are not part of any checked constraints. Essentially, these variables should only be used
  in the current SCIP solve and disregarded after a restart or in SCIP copies. Hence, these variables are not copied by SCIPcopy and
  SCIPgetVarCopy, they are currently not used in conflict constraints, and cuts involving them are not upgraded to linear constraints.
  Relaxation-only variables cannot appear in the objective function.

- The OSiL reader now supports nonlinear expressions of type "signpower".

- Expressions of form abs(x)^p * x in a nonlinear constraint are now sometimes recognized and handled by abspower constraints.

- If polyhedral symmetry handling methods are used (cons_orbisack, cons_orbitope, cons_symresack), it is now possible to
  recompute symmetries if a restart occurred.

- upgrade some more quadratic constraints to second-order cone constraints, that is,
  handle linear binary variables as if squared in simple upgrade and
  do not require bounds for variables that have a zero entry in the computed eigenvectors in the non-simple upgrade

- new variable event when changing the variable type

- It is no longer necessary to provide a SCIP pointer for the subproblem in SCIPaddBendersSubproblem if custom solving
  methods are defined. A NULL pointer can be supplied to SCIPaddBendersSubproblem. In this case, no internal Benders'
  cut generation methods can be used.

- Using the parameter "constraints/symresack/checkmonotonicity" one can now decide to upgrade to packing/partitioning
  symresacks even if the underlying permutation is not monotone.

- New branching rule `vanillafullstrong`, mostly for scientific purpose, with the following features:
  1) no cutoff or domain reduction: only branching;
  2) idempotent (optional): leave SCIP, as much as possible, in the same state before / after the strong branching calls
     - basically, do not update any statistic;
  3) donotbranch (optional): do no perform branching. So that the brancher can be called as an oracle only
     (on which variable would you branch ? But do not branch please);
  4) scoreall (optional): keep scoring variables, even if infeasibility is detected;
  5) collectscores (optional): store the candidate scores from the last call, which can then be retrieved by calling SCIPgetVanillafullstrongData();
  6) integralcands (optional): consider integral candidates for branching,
     i.e., get candidates from SCIPgetPseudoBranchCands() instead of SCIPgetLPBranchCands().

- If a reference value (misc/referencevalue) is given, the primal-reference and reference-dual integrals are calculated automatically and printed within the SCIP statistics.

- Locally valid cuts / rows are now considered for dual proof analysis when `conflict/uselocalrows` is set to TRUE.

- Linking variables in the linking constraint handler (cons_linking.{ch}) can now be integer or continuous. The coefficients of the binary variables are therefore now stored as SCIP_Real.

- To save memory, it is now possible to remove all variables from the internal symmetry data structures that are
  not affected by any symmetry.

- Allow to filter first variables from orbits and transfer pseudo cost information to variables in orbit

- Add integration of external MILP presolve library as a SCIP presolver plugin that runs on MILP problems

- Parallelisation can be used when applying Benders' decomposition. There are two different forms of parallelisation
  available. The first is applying Benders' decomposition within a parallel branch-and-bound. This is achieved through
  the integration with the UG framework. The second is the use of shared memory parallelisation for solving the Benders'
  decomposition subproblems. A priority queue has been added to help with load balancing.

- The Benders' decomposition framework can handle MINLPs. If a convex relaxation of the MINLP exists, then this is
  solved to generate optimality and feasibility cuts. The extensions to the framework are:
  - New generic solving methods to solve convex NLP subproblems.
  - Modification to benderscut_opt and benderscut_feas to enable the generation of cuts from convex NLPs.
  - Addition of benderscut_feasalt to generate feasibility cuts from an alternative subproblem that minimises the
    violation of infeasible problems.
  - Better handling of subproblem solution results

- Adds a feasibility phase to the Benders' decomposition subproblem solving methods. The feasibility phase adds slack
  variables to each of the constraints to ensure feasibility of the subproblem. A large coefficient is given to these
  slack variables in the objective function to penalise constraint violations. The coefficients are progressively
  increased until all slack variables take the value 0.0.

- Improved convexity check for Benders' decomposition subproblems. The constraints of the subproblem are now checked for
  convexity in the initialisation of the Benders' decomposition algorithm. This enables the solving of convex NLPs as
  Benders' decomposition subproblems.

- Benders' decomposition can be applied using decomposition supplied in the DEC format. To apply Benders' decomposition
  the parameters decomposition/benderslabels and decomposition/applybenders must be set to TRUE.

- new event handler event_estim.c/h that approximates search tree completion and estimates tree size
  to trigger restarts; many approximations of search tree completion and estimation, including WBE, SSG, and tree profile method
- new display column that reports approx. search tree completion during the search, and an overview in the statistics table
- added resources (script, tutorial, test data) to adapt tree size estimation to user instances.

- Orbital Fixing uses a list of variables that have been fixed globally since the computation of symmetries to filter
  symmetries. Previously, some plugins were disabled, which is not necessary anymore.

- A new presolver "dualsparsify" was added. It tries to combine columns (i.e. variables) to cancel nonzero coefficients in the constraint matrix.

- The presolver "tworowbnd" was implemented with better performance.

- To be able to calculate better bounds for the dual variables, the presolver "dualinfer" was extended by the ability to perform convex combinations of continuous columns.

- allow disabling of pricers during solving process

- added emphasis setting for numerically challenging instances

Performance improvements
------------------------

- Extended cut presolving by removing variables that been fixed at their bounds

- Improved branching point selection when branching on externals branching candidates. Instead of using exactly the
  LP solution, a point closer to the middle of the variables domain is chosen.

- Matrix presolvers that do not work on incomplete matrices now skip matrix creation if unsupported constraint types are detected.

- consLockBenders callback implemented to add down locks on the Benders' decomposition auxiliary variables and
  up and down locks per subproblem for all master problem variables. This allows the use of presolving and propagation
  with Benders' decomposition.

- improved performance of orbital fixing in several ways:
  store permutations in transposed form to improve cache efficency;
  reverse order to speed up filtering of permutations;
  handle variables globally fixed to 1 in list;
  use event handler to catch global fixings;
  speed up orbit computations;
  change handling of restarts;
  use only permutations that can contribute to a variable's orbit;

- allow rapid learning at local nodes

- allow to recompute cut without using fractional values for sepa_cgmip

- restrict the number of the clique table nonzeros relative to the number of problem nonzeros, which could be a performance bottleneck.

- variable fixings of LP face heuristic are now computed earlier; subproblem creation is skipped if not enough variables are fixed.

- Improved domcol presolver to not require a complete representation of all constraints in the matrix

- performance improvement of adaptive large neighborhood search heuristic on merely continuous problems. The heuristic
  stops if presolving in the sub-SCIP fixes less than 50 % of the current target fixing rate over all variables
  (including continuous).

- reduce memory usage in symmetry detection by a staggered allocation with decreasing overhead for larger instances

- improved full orbitope propagation using a static implementation or a dynamic reordering of orbitope rows by a global rank function

- improved detection of packing/partitioning orbitopes

- enable an in-tree restart if after a reasonable initialization, the estimated size of the remaining tree is large.


Examples and applications
-------------------------

- added functions to set and get hmin and hmax for optcumulative constraints

Interface changes
-----------------

### New and changed callbacks

- new optional callback `SCIP_DECL_DIVESETAVAILABLE` to check preconditions for this dive set, e.g., if an incumbent solution is available,
  which is passed as new argument to SCIPcreateDiveset(). SCIPcreateDiveset() has another new parameter "ispublic".

- new callback `SCIP_DECL_CONSHDLRCOPY` and `SCIP_DECL_CONSCOPY` in cons_orbisack and cons_symresack

- new `idempotent` argument to SCIPgetVarStrongbranchInt() and SCIPgetVarStrongbranchFrac(),
  so that statistics are not updated during the call. Likewise, new `updatecol` and `updatestat` arguments to SCIPcolGetStrongbranch().

- callback `SCIP_DECL_CONSHDLRENFOLP` can now also return SCIP_SOLVELP as *result, which indicates to the SCIP core that the LP relaxation
  should be solved again because the primal feasibility tolerance of the LP has been tightened (using SCIPsetLPFeastol())

- extension of SCIP_PQUEUE by a new callback SCIP_DECL_PQUEUEELEMCHGPOS to catch swaps as well as functionality to delete arbitrary elements from the priority queue.

### Deleted and changed API functions

- LPI:
  + now for all lp interfaces consistent requirements on SCIP_LPPAR:
    LPITLIM and BARRIERCONVTOL positive or zero; FEASTOL, DUALFEASTOL, LPTILIM strictly positive
  + now projecting SCIP_LPPAR values on feasible values for each lp interface
  + add interface to Glop
  + fixed mapping between scaling parameter values in Gurobi LPI lpi_grb
- Symmetry:
  + removed function SCIPseparateCoversOrbisack() in cons_orbisack.h since the orbitope constraint
    handler has its own implementation of this routine with advanced features now
  + renamed SCIPgetGeneratorsSymmetry() to SCIPgetSymmetry() and removed two arguments
  + extended function SCIPgetSymmetry(): It is possible to access both the original and
    transposed permutations matrix as well as the (independent symmetry) components of a permutation group now.
  + arguments of functions SCIPcreateConsOrbisack(), SCIPcreateConsBasicOrbisack(), SCIPcreateConsOrbitope(),
    SCIPcreateConsBasicOrbitope(), SCIPcreateConsSymresack(), SCIPcreateConsBasicSymresack(), and SCIPcreateSymbreakCons() extended
    by "ismodelcons" to encode whether the constraints are model constraints or not
  + the function SCIPgetSymmetry() no longer accepts the parameter recompute, but has parameter permvarmap as new input
  + removed SCIPgetPermvarsObjSymmetry(), SCIPsetSymmetryComponentblocked(), SCIPgetSymmetryComponentblocked(),
    SCIPgetSyminfoGloballyFixedVars(), SCIPcomputeGroupOrbitsSymbreak, SCIPincludePresolSymmetry(),SCIPincludePresolSymbreak(),
    and SCIPincludePropOrbitalfixing()
  + add function SCIPcomputeOrbitsComponentsSym() to compute orbits without filtering permutations and indices of orbits for each variable
- SCIPallowObjProp() and SCIPallowDualReds() are deprecated and replaced by SCIPallowWeakDualReds() and SCIPallowStrongDualReds(), respectively
- Benders' decomposition
  + changed SCIPstoreBenderscutCut() in scip_benders.c to SCIPstoreBendersCut(). Where this function used to take a
    SCIP_BENDERSCUT pointer, it now accepts a SCIP_BENDERS pointer.
  + the functions SCIPsolveBendersSubproblem() no longer accepts the parameter type. The type is not a necessary
    argument for the subproblem solving method.
  + arguments of functions SCIPbendersSolveSubproblemLP(), SCIPbendersSolveSubproblemCIP(), and SCIPbendersOnlyCheckConvexRelax() changed
  - removed SCIPbenderscutGetNAddedCuts() and SCIPbenderscutGetAddedCutData()


### New API functions

- new argument "onlyifcomplete" in SCIPmatrixCreate() to skip matrix creation right after detecting unsupported constraint types
  and new arguments to count statistics when doing a clean-up of inactive variables in the constraints before building the matrix

- new argument "threadsafe" in SCIPcopy(), SCIPcopyConsCompression(), SCIPcopyOrig(), SCIPcopyOrigConsCompression and
  SCIPcopyBenders(). This argument must only be set to TRUE if the source and target SCIP instances are to be solved in
  parallel. Setting this argument to TRUE has a performance cost.

- new argument "append" in SCIPsetModifiedDefaultSettingsIpopt()
- functions SCIPclearRelaxSolVals(), SCIPsetRelaxSolVal(), SCIPsetRelaxSolVals(), SCIPsetRelaxSolValsSol(), and SCIPmarkRelaxSolValid()
  receive an additional argument "relax" to store the relaxation handler as creator of the relaxation solution.

- LP:
  - SCIProwGetOriginCons() now returns a SCIP_CONS* instead of a SCIP_CONSHDLR*, use SCIProwGetOriginConshdlr() for the previous behavior
  - SCIPcreateRowCons() and SCIPcreateEmptyRowCons() now expect a SCIP_CONS* instead of a SCIP_CONSHDLR*,
    use SCIPcreateRowConshdlr() and SCIPcreateEmptyRowConshdlr(), respectively, for the previous behavior
  - deprecated SCIPlpfeastol() and SCIPchgLpfeastol(), use SCIPgetLPFeastol() and SCIPsetLPFeastol()

- new parameter "divecontext" for every function that queries statistics for a diveset. The context can be used to distinguish between the dive set
  as single (standalone) heuristic or within Adaptive Diving.
- new parameters "divecontext" and "iterlim" to SCIPperformGenericDivingAlgorithm() to control in which context (single,adaptive) statistics are updated.

- SCIPcopyVars, SCIPcopy, SCIPcopyConsCompression, and SCIPgetVarCopy do not copy variables that are marked as relaxation-only,
  thus it cannot be assumed anymore that each active variable from the master SCIP also has a counterpart in the copy.
  SCIPcopy, SCIPcopyConsCompression, and SCIPcopyConss can now return *valid=TRUE if some non-checked and non-enforced constraints were not copied, e.g.,
  because they involved relaxation-only variables. Thus, a copy is already regarded as valid if all checked or enforced constraints were copied successfully.

- linking constraint handler:
  - changed type of vals argument from int* to SCIP_Real* in SCIPcreateConsLinking() and SCIPcreateConsBasicLinking()
  - SCIPgetIntvarLinking() has been renamed to SCIPgetLinkvarLinking().
  - changed return value of SCIPgetValsLinking() from int* to SCIP_Real*.
  - new function SCIPgetBinvarsDataLinking().

- SCIPbendersCheckSubproblemOptimality() now returns a boolean indicating whether the subproblem is optimal or not.
  Previously this result was returned through a parameter. The change was required to facilitate the integration with
  the UG framework.

- deleted SCIPcombineTwoInt(), SCIPcombineThreeInt(), SCIPcombineFourInt(); use the appropriate SCIPhashTwo(), ..., SCIPhashSeven() function instead

- SCIPsetupBendersSubproblem takes a parameter of the enforcement type.

- SCIPcreateNlpiProb takes a hashmap to store the map between the nlrows and the index in the nlrow array.

### New API functions

- SCIPallowWeakDualReds() and SCIPallowStrongDualReds() replace the deprecated SCIPallowObjProp() and SCIPallowDualReds(), respectively
- functions have been added to facilitate the transfer of Benders' decomposition cuts between solvers in UG. These include
  SCIPapplyBendersStoredCuts(), SCIPbendersGetNStoredCuts(), SCIPbendersGetStoredCutData() and
  SCIPbendersGetStoredCutOrigData().
- added SCIPisConvexAbspower()
- new functions SCIPsolGetType(), SCIPsolGetRelax(), SCIPsolSetRelax(), SCIPsolSetLPRelaxation(), SCIPsolSetStrongbranch(),
  SCIPsolSetPseudo to set or query the new type attribute of a primal solution. The type attribute gives information
  about the origin of the solution, ie, whether it was created by a relaxation handler,
  by the LP relaxation, by strong branching, by the current pseudo solution, or by a primal heuristic.
  The meaning of the argument 'heur' in all creation methods for primal solutions such as SCIPcreateSol() stays unchanged.
- added SCIProwGetOriginConshdlr(), SCIPcreateRowConshdlr(), SCIPcreateEmptyRowConshdlr()

- new API functions SCIPeventGetOldtype() and SCIPeventGetNewtype() for the new event when changing the variable type
- new API function SCIPisConvexConsQuadratic() to check whether a quadratic constraint is convex when a given set of variables would be fixed
- new API functions SCIPgetLPFeastol(), SCIPsetLPFeastol(), and SCIPresetLPFeastol() to get, set, and reset (to the default), respectively, the primal
  feasibility tolerance for the LP relaxation
- new API functions SCIPcleanupConss{Linear,Varbound,Setppc,Logicor,Knapsack}() to clean up inactive variables from those types of linear constraints
- new API function SCIPsetBendersSubproblemComp() used to add a custom comparison method for ordering the Benders'
  decomposition subproblem solves. The comparison method is used to help with load balancing.
- new API function SCIPgetRowObjParallelism to get the objective parallelism of a row
- new API function SCIPcolGetAge to get the age of a column
- added SCIPhashThree(), SCIPhashFive(), SCIPhashSix(), and SCIPhashSeven() that complement SCIPhashTwo(), SCIPhashFour() to combine 32bit integers to
  a 32bit hash value
- new API function SCIPgenerateAndApplyBendersOptCut is used to generate a Benders' optimality cut using the dual
  solutions. This function can be supplied vectors for the primal and dual solution for generating an optimality cut.
  This avoids the need for a SCIP instance to solve the Benders' decomposition subproblem and generating cuts.
- new API function SCIPconsAddCoef used for adding a coefficient to a linear-type constraint.
- new API functions SCIPconsNonlinearGetRhs, SCIPconsNonlinearGetLhs and SCIPconsNonlinearAddLinearCoef for getting the
  RHS and LHS from a nonlinear-type constraint and adding a linear coefficient to the constraint.
- new API function SCIPbendersSolSlackVarsActive for checking whether any slack variables from the feasibility phase are
  active in the subproblem solution.
- new API functions SCIPbendersSetSubproblemType and SCIPbendersGetSubproblemType sets and gets the subproblem type.
  This is either:
  - Convex constraints with continuous variables
  - Convex constraints with discrete variables
  - Non-convex constraints with continuous variables
  - Non-convex constraints with discrete variables
- new API functions SCIPbendersSetSubproblemIsNonlinear() and SCIPbendersSubproblemIsNonlinear() for setting and
  identifying whether the Benders' decomposition subproblems contain nonlinear constraints. Similarly, the functions
  SCIPbendersSetMasterIsNonlinear() and SCIPbendersMasterIsNonlinear() sets and identifies whether the Benders'
  decomposition master problem contains nonlinear constraints.
- new API function SCIPapplyBendersDecomposition for applying Benders' decomposition given a decomposition in the DEC
  format
- new API function SCIPwasNodeLastBranchParent to query if a node has been the parent of the most recent branching in the tree
- new API functions SCIPtreemodelInit(), SCIPtreemodelFree(), SCIPtreemodelIsEnabled(), SCIPtreemodelSelectCandidate() related to the new
  treemodel way of comparing branching candidates. These functions are only currently used for reliability pscost branching, but they can be used
  in other parts of the code.
- New function SCIPcalcChildEstimateIncrease() to compute the increase in the child estimation
- new API functions SCIPisOrbitalfixingEnabled() and SCIPgetSymmetryNGenerators() to check whether orbital fixing is
  enabled and to get the number of generators of the current symmetry group, respectively
- new API function SCIPdelNlRow() to remove a row from the NLP

### Event system

- deleted parameter "propagating/orbitalfixing/performpresolving"
- deleted parameter "propagating/orbitalfixing/recomputerestart"
- changed default value of "heuristics/coefdiving/freq" (old: 10, new: -1)
- changed default value of "heuristics/conflictdiving/freq" (old: -1, new: 10)
- changed default value of "heuristics/conflictdiving/lockweight" (old: 1.0, new: 0.75)
- replaced parameter "numerics/lpfeastol" by "numerics/lpfeastolfactor" to specify which factor should be applied to the SCIP feasibility
  tolerance to initialize the primal feasibility tolerance of the LP solver
- enabling aggressive presolving now activates all available presolving plugins,
  and decreases the presolving/restartfac parameter correctly with respect to default.
- changed default value of heuristics/rins/nodesquot to 0.3 (was 0.1), to compensate
  the removal of a hard coded factor of 3.0 in the code without affecting the default behavior
  of the RINS heuristic.
- changed default value of "constraints/quadratic/empathy4and" (old: 0, new: 2)
- changed default value of "propagating/redcost/useimplics" (old: TRUE, new: FALSE)

### New parameters

- the possibility to define the Benders' decomposition auxiliary variables as implicit integer is provided. This
  behavior is controlled with an additional parameter in the Benders' decomposition framework.
- added parameter benders/<bendersname>/cutcheck to enable the generation of Benders' decomposition cuts during solution
  checking.
- constraints/orbitope/usedynamicprop: the possibility to propagate orbitope constraints by reordering the rows based on the
  branching strategy is provided (only possible for non-model constraints)

- new parameters heuristics/shiftandpropagate/minfixingratelp and heuristics/locks/minfixingratelp to stop the
  heuristics after propagating integer fixings if no sufficient fixing of the all variables (including continuous)
  could be achieved. These parameters help to avoid solving LP's that are comparable in hardness to the main root LP.

- Added parameters branching/midpull and branching/midpullreldomtrig to control by how much to move
  the branching point for an external branching candidate closer to the middle of the candidates domain. The
  default of 0.75 and 0.5, respectively, uses a point that is 75*alpha% closer to the middle of the domain, where
  alpha is the relative width of the candidates domain (width of local domain divided by width of global domain),
  if the latter is below 0.5, and alpha=1.0 otherwise. That is, with the default settings, a branching point is
  chosen closer to the middle of the candidates domain if the variables local domain is still similar to its
  global domain, but is chosen closer to the LP solution if the local domain is much smaller than the global
  domain.

- Added parameter lp/minmarkowitz to set the Markowitz stability threshold (range 0.0001 to 0.9999).
  High values sacrifice performance for stability.

- Added parameters benders/<bendersname>/lnsmaxcalls and benders/<bendersname>/lnsmaxcallsroot to the Benders'
  decomposition core. These parameters limit the number of Benders' decomposition subproblem checks, for the full
  branch-and-bound tree and root node respective, when solving the auxiliary problem of LNS hueristics. These
  parameters only have effect if the lnscheck parameter is set to TRUE.

- Added parameter cons/linear/maxmultaggrquot to limit the maximum coefficient dynamism of an equation on which
  multiaggregation is performed. This replaces a compiler define of the same name.
  Default value is 1000, smaller values make multiaggregations numerically more stable.
- new global parameter heuristics/useuctsubscip that affects all LNS heuristics using common sub-SCIP parameters

- new parameter branching/relpscost/degeneracyaware to switch degeneracy-aware hybrid branching

- new parameter separation/rapidlearning/checkexec to check whether rapid learning is allowed to run locally

- new parameter separation/rapidlearning/nwaitingnodes to set the number of waiting nodes before the dual bound is checked
- new parameter separation/rapidlearning/mindegeneracy to set the minimal threshold of degenerate basic-variables
- new parameters separation/rapidlearning/minvarconsratio to set the minimal ratio of unfixed variables in relation to basis size

- new parameters to control the Benders' decomposition two-phase method.
  - constraints/benderslp/depthfreq: after the maxdepth is reached, then the two-phase method will only be called at
    nodes at a depth divisible by depthfreq.
  - constraints/benderslp/stalllimit: after the maxdepth is reached, if there has been no improvement in the dual bound
    for stalllimit number of nodes, then the two-phase method is executed for the next fractional LP solution that is
    encountered.
  - constraints/benderslp/iterlimit: after the root node, only iterlimit fractional LP solutions are used at each node
    to generate Benders' decomposition cuts.

- new parameters for symmetry handling
  - new parameter "propagating/symmetry/maxgenerators"
  - new parameter "propagating/symmetry/checksymmetries"

  - new parameter "propagating/symmetry/performpresolving"
  - new parameter "propagating/symmetry/recomputerestart"
  - new parameter "constraints/symresack/checkmonotonicity"

  - new parameter "propagating/symmetry/compressthreshold"
  - new parameter "propagating/symmetry/disableofrestart"
  - new parameter "propagating/symmetry/symfixnonbinaryvars"

- new parameter for enabling shared memory parallelisation for solving Benders' decomposition subproblems. The parameter
  benders/<bendersname>/numthreads sets the number of threads used for parallel subproblem solving.

- new parameters to control enhancements for solving MINLPs by Benders' decomposition
  - benders/<bendersname>/execfeasphase: enables the feasibility phase for solving the Benders' decomposition
    subproblems
  - benders/<bendersname>/slackvarcoef: the initial coefficient of the slack variable for the feasibility phase
  - benders/<bendersname>/checkconsconvexity: should the constraints be checked for convexity. This can be set to FALSE
    if you are certain that the NLP subproblem is convex.

- new parameter presolving/clqtablefac (default value 2.0) as limit on number of entries in clique table relative to number of problem nonzeros

    - estimation/coefmonossg (default value 0.6333)
    - estimation/restarts/hitcounterlim (default value 50)
    - estimation/reportfreq (default value -1)
    - estimation/regforestfilename (default value "-")
    - estimation/completiontype (default value a)
    - estimation/treeprofile/enabled (default value FALSE)
    - estimation/treeprofile/minnodesperdepth (default value 20)
    - estimation/useleafts (default value TRUE)
    - estimation/ssg/nmaxsubtrees (default value -1)
    - estimation/ssg/nminnodeslastsplit (default value 0)

- new parameter constraints/linear/extractcliques to turn clique extraction off

- new emphasis setting emphasis/numerics to increase numerical stability of (mostly) presolving operations such as (multi-)aggregations at the cost of performance.

- new parameters for treemodel:
  - new parameter branching/treemodel/enable to enable the treemodel in reliability pscost branching and possible
    future parts of the code where it could be used.
  - new parameter branching/treemodel/highrule to specify which branching rule to use when treemodel thinks the node

  - new parameter branching/treemodel/maxsvtsheight to specify the maximum height to compute the SVTS score exactly
    before approximating it using the ratio.
  - new parameter branching/treemodel/fallbackinf defines the fallback strategy to use when the tree size estimates
    obtained by SVTS are infinite.
  - new parameter branching/treemodel/fallbacknoprim defines the fallback strategy to use when no primal bound is known
    and thus SVTS would not be able to compute a tree size (it would be infinite).
  - new parameter branching/treemodel/smallpscost defines the value under which pscosts are considered too small to be
    the deciding factor for branching, in which case it may be better not to use the treemodel.

- new parameters for symmetry handling constraint handlers to enforce that also non-model constraint are copied:
  - new parameter "constraints/orbisack/forceconscopy"
  - new parameter "constraints/orbitope/forceconscopy"
  - new parameter "constraints/symresack/forceconscopy"


### Data structures

- small changes in constants of hash functions
- added fast 2-universal hash functions for two to seven 32bit elements with 32bit output
- extended SCIPpqueueCreate() by additional callback argument SCIP_DECL_PQUEUEELEMCHGPOS to catch position changes
- new methods SCIPpqueueDelPos() to delete elements at a specific position in the priority queue and SCIPpqueueFind() to
  find a specific position. It is recommended to track position changes using the new callback SCIP_DECL_PQUEUEELEMCHGPOS.
  In contrast, using SCIPpqueueFind() can be slow because it needs to compare the element it searches for
  with each slot in the queue.

### Build system

- The default value for DFLAGS in the non-cmake buildsystem has changed from -MM to -MMD. This will break the
  generation of depend.* files if that was done by a compiler call that relied on -MM. The new preferred way
  to handle compilation dependencies is to additionally use $(DFLAGS) when compiling the object files (.o) and
  to include the generated .d files in the Makefile, see also "Build system / Makefile" below.

Unit tests
----------
 - new unit test for treemodel.

Testing
-------

Build system

### Cmake

  files are now dynamically created and updated during build. The new dependency files (*.d) reside next to each object
  file (.o) in the corresponding obj subdirectory.
- added support for building against Ipopt >= 3.13
- unify compiler switches for Intel compiler and avoid problem with doubly defined object together with CPLEX

-------------

- modified display column for memory usage ("mem"), which reports the memory usage most of the time, but shows the creator name
  (heuristic, relaxation handler, LP relaxation, strong branching, pseudo solution) of every new incumbent solution. Together with this change,
  heuristic display characters have been unified to represent the type of the heuristic
  (diving, Large neighborhood search, propagation, etc.), see also type_heur.h.

  - new presolving step for variables contained in a single quadratic constraint with proper square coefficients
  - add new presolving step to disaggregate second order cone constraints
  - new presolving method presol_qpkktref to add the KKT conditions of a QP
  - implemented and extended stuffing presolving in linear constraint handler
  - new components constraint handler which replaces the components presolver; it searches for independent subproblems
    and solves small ones as sub-SCIPs during presolve, larger ones are solved alternatingly during the main solving process
  - new presolving timing FINAL: presolving methods with this timing are only called once after all other presolvers with timings
    FAST, MEDIUM and EXHAUSTIVE are finished; during this timing only reductions are allowed that are self-contained, e.g.,
    fixing all variables and deleting all constraints of an independent component; note that reductions found in this timing
    do not trigger a new presolving round

- Separation and Cuts:
  - can now separate perspective cuts for indicator constraints
  - add sepa_convexproj, a separator which projects onto convex relaxation and build gradient cuts at the projection
  - add sepa_gauge, a separator which computes an interior point of a convex relaxation and performs a binary search in the segment joining
    the interior point and the point to separate until it finds a point in the boundary of the feasible region where to build a gradient cut
  - changed handling of coupling constraints in cons_indicator; the cuts will not be added to the pool, but are separated by default
  - concurrent solving mode that allows to run multiple SCIP instances, that share solutions and global variable bounds, in parallel
  - Revised pseudo random number generation and introduced central random seed for all plugins

- Heuristics:
  - new Graph induced neighborhood search (GINS) primal heuristic that uses neighborhoods
    based on distances in the variable constraint connectivity graph.
    In addition, the heuristic supports a rolling horizon-like procedure to solve auxiliary problems
    for neighborhoods with increasing distance from the starting neighborhood.
  - new primal heuristic LP face that tries to find an integer solution inside the optimal LP face.
  - new heuristic that tries to complete partial solutions
  - the subnlp heuristic now gives ownership of a found solution to the heuristic that constructed the starting point, if any;
    as a consequence, MIP heuristics may now be shown more frequently for having found a solution when solving MINLPs, even
    though the solutions required an additional NLP solve
  - new multistart heuristic for NLPs

- Propagator:
  - add prop_nlobbt, a nonlinear optimization-based bound propagator solving two convex NLP relaxations for each variable
  - nodes can now be postponed; currently, this can only be triggered by BEFORELP propagation callbacks

- Statistic:
  + Extended statistic output displayable via the interactive shell
  + new statistic computed: `Root LP Estimate` that shows the root LP best-estimate with every pseudo-cost update
  + added leaf statistics about LP objective limit|feasible|infeasible leaves to the statistics output and
    to the callable library: SCIPgetNObjlimLeaves(), SCIPgetNFeasibleLeaves(), SCIPgetNInfeasibleLeaves()
  + next to the number of found solution, also the number of new best solutions is now printed for each heuristic
    (and relaxation solutions) in the statistics in the `Primal Heuristic` section.

Performance improvements
------------------------

- Extended the presolving timings by an additional timing FINAL for self-contained reductions
- Randomized tie-breaking in different parts of the code to reduce performance variability
- use connectedness information of the clique table to speed up the clique partitioning algorithm
- knapsack approximation algorithms use linear-time weighted median selection instead of sorting
- improved greedy solution in SCIPsolveKnapsackApproximatelyLT() for the flow cover separation
- reduce performance variability by using random numbers as tie-breaker for external branching candidates

- Heuristics:
  - adjusted most Large Neighborhood Search heuristics such that they collect their variable fixings first in an array,
    and only create and populate a sub-SCIP if enough variables will be fixed.
  - reduce performance variability by using a small perturbation in the undercover heuristic
  - 1-opt heuristic can now be repeatedly executed as long as new incumbents are found

- Constraints:
  - Improved and extended stuffing inside of linear constraint handler
  - Changed handling of coupling constraints in cons_indicator
  - SCIP supports constraint compression for problem copies; constraint compression denotes the immediate
    removal of fixed variables from constraint data at creation time to reduce memory requirements.

- Propagation:
  - rewrote the propagate-and-cut-and-price loop so that successful propagations with DURINGLPLOOP timing, bound changes found by separation,
    and new primal solutions now trigger a new round of node solving, starting with propagation; improved tuning of propagation and heuristic timings
  - tuned propagation methods of several constraint handlers
  - make more use of SCIPmarkConsPropagate() to mark constraints for propagation and improved the internal handling of marked constraints
  - improve propagation of absolute-value expression in the case that the sign of the argument is fixed

@section RN320 SCIP 3.2.0
*************************

Features
--------

- added reoptimization feature for optimization problems with changed objective function or tighter feasible region
- the original problem can now be permuted directly after reading (if `misc/permutationseed` has value >= 0)
- added methods to compute strongly connected components with Tarjan's Algorithm
- added method to propagate implications of SOS1 variables
- convex quadratic contraints can now generate gradient cuts which are supporting to the feasible region
- SoPlex interface can now (re)store dual steepest edge weights
- extended expression parsing to support power, realpower and signpower operators; started support for user-defined operators
  in expression trees/graphs
- possibility to set a soft time limit which becomes active only after the first primal solution was found
- added matrix module for getting access to the internal mixed inter linear problem matrix
- better handling of large values returned by the LP solver
- added more checks to SCIP{alloc,realloc,duplicate}BufferArray() to handle overflows properly
- new plugin for reoptimizing a sequence of optimization problem that differ in the objective function, e.g., sequences arising from
  column generation
- new plugin `compr` for rearranging the search tree, currently this only works on the reoptimization tree
- moved assertions in comparison methods from scip.c to set.c

- Constraints:
  - we can now upgrade quadratic constraints with one bilinear term to SOC constraints
  - we can also upgrade general quadratic constraints with a single negative eigenvalue to SOC constraints

- Branching:
  - tighter reliability notions introduced for reliability branching, based on pseudo-cost relative errors
    and comparing candidates with the best pseudo-candidate using a 2-sample student-T test. These methods
    are used in disjunction with the existing reliability notion that uses a fixed number as reliability
    threshold for every variable before turning off strong-branching. This means, the classical method
    must be turned off by setting parameters minreliable and maxreliable to 0. The behavior is
    controlled through several parameters.
  - new distribution branching rule to base decisions on row activity (normal) distribution over domain space
  - can now output information for BAK: Branch-and-bound Analysis Kit
  - new score in hybrid reliability pseudocost branching that prefers nonlinear variables when solving MINLPs
  - new branching rule multaggr which allows to branch on general disjunctions defined by fractional multi-aggregated variables
  - new branching rules for SOS1 constraints for branching on a neighborhood or a complete bipartite subgraph of
    the conflict graph. In addition to variable domain fixings, it is sometimes also possible to add complementarity
    constraints to the branching nodes. This results in a nonstatic conflict graph, which may change dynamically
    with every branching node.
  - new branching rule nodereopt to reconstruct the tree after changing the objective function

- Reader:
  - the MPS reader can now read semi-integer variables, they are handled by creating bound disjunction constraints
  - the MPS reader can now handle objective constants given as (the negation of) the RHS of the objective row

- Separation:
  - obbt propagator applies now additional separation and propagation in order to learn stronger and more bound tightenings
  - extended probing mode to allow separation and objective coefficient changes
  - improved separation procedure of SOS1 constraint handler, including bound (clique) cuts and implied bound cuts
  - new disjunctive cut separator for SOS1 constraints
  - new edge-concave cut separator for quadratic constraints

- Presolver:
  - Improved coordination of presolvers. There are three timings for presolvers now, FAST, MEDIUM and EXHAUSTIVE.
    Each presolving callback can specify one or more of these timings in which it will be called later.
    Within a presolving method, the current timing can be checked and the algorithms to be performed selected based on
    the timing. In one presolving round, first all presolving methods with timing FAST are called, sorted by priority.
    If they found enough reductions, a new round is started, otherwise, all presolving methods with timing MEDIUM are
    called. Again, with enough reductions, a new presolving round is started, too few reductions lead to running
    the EXHAUSTIVE presolvers. Similar to the delay concept used before, we are not neccessarily running all EXHAUSTIVE
    presolvers but stop as soon as one of them found enough reductions, starting a new presolving round immediately.
  - new presolving components for SOS1 constraints, including bound tightening and clique extension
  - new presolver tworowbnd for improving variable bounds and detecting redundant constraints added
  - new presolver dualagg for aggregating single up-/downlocked variables by a binary variable added
  - new presolver implfree for aggregating implied free variables added
  - new presolver redvub which can detect redundant variable upper bound constraints added
  - new presolver stuffing for fixing of singleton continuous variables added

- Heuristic:
  - improved clique and variable bound heuristics
  - new heuristic distribution diving that bases its score function on the changes regarding solution density
  - variable histories can be transferred between sub-SCIPs solved by LNS heuristics and the component presolver
    and the main SCIP to reuse this information.
  - new heuristic heur_indicator that tries to make partial solutions with indicator constraints feasible. It also
    tries to improve them (or external solutions) by a one-opt local search.
  - new heuristic (heur_bound) which fixes all integer variables to their lower/upper bounds and solves the remaining LP
  - modified diving heuristics to handle SOS1 constraints
  - new primal heuristic for reoptimization 'ofins': objective function induced neighborhood heuristic
  - new heuristic for reoptimization which constructs solutions based in the changes between the objective function and the optimal
    solution before changing the objective function

- Statistic:
  - extended variable branching statistics in the interactive shell by sample variance of unit gains
  - extended statistic output of interactive shell by more information on diving heuristic behavior

Performance improvements
------------------------

- improved treatment of nonlinearities in hybrid reliability pseudo cost branching
- using sparsity information of the SoPlex LP

- Constraints:
  - improved vartype upgradability from continuous to implicit variables in cons_linear.c, depending on their objective coefficients
  - improved propagation of SOS1 constraint handler using the information from a conflict

- Heuristics:
  - zi rounding heuristic uses buffer data structures, thereby decreasing total memory usage of SCIP
  - adjusted (hard) diving heuristics to solve fewer LPs. LP's are resolved only if a parameter-defined
    percentage of the variable bounds changed through domain propagation or at a predefined frequency.
  - some of the diving heuristics additionally consider indicator variables and SOS1 variables as candidate variables and try to
    make these constraint types feasible before passing a rounded solution to SCIPtrySol()

- Presolving:
  - new presolving/propagation algorithm using the gcd for ranged rows and equations in cons_linear
  - added presolving levels (FAST, MEDIUM and EXHAUSTIVE) to allow better balancing of presolvers

- Separation:
  - improved separation procedure of SOS1 constraint handler
  - improved separation procedure for convex quadratic constraints

Examples and applications
-------------------------

- two new applications for multi-objective optimization (PolySCIP) and the Steiner Tree Problem in Graphs
- new application for solving Steiner tree problems: SCIP-Jack can handle both the classical Steiner tree problem in graphs
  and 10 of its variants

*************************

Features
--------

- added breadth first search node selection
- new node selection rule UCT which balances exploration and exploitation by considering node visits
- added possibility to not set a cutoff bound in the LP solver (can be enabled by setting `lp/disablecutoff` to TRUE)
- added missing debugging solution check for cliques
- added a data pointer to each node of the `SCIP_DIGRAPH`
- SCIPgetVarCopy() will now copy the original bounds when called for an original variable
- added upgrade of continuous variables to implicit variables for linear equations even if the coefficient is
  not equal to 1
- probing supports implicit binary variables
- added scaling to computation of relative interior point in SCIPcomputeLPRelIntPoint()

- Solution:
  - added two methods to iterate over a sparse solution (`SCIP_SPARSESOLUTION`), see pub_misc.h
  - it is now possible to add an offset for the original problem instance, all original solutions will be initialized with
    this value and updated, when the offset is changed
  - extended and corrected dual feasibility checks for LP solution (controlled by parameter `lp/checkdualfeas`)

- Cuts and Separation:
  - the rank of cuts is now stored and taken into account to improve numerical stability
  - added possibility to separate a cutpool w.r.t. a given solution (instead of LP-solution)

- Branching:
  - new branching rule `cloud branching` that considers several alternative LP optima
  - additional vbc output added: branching information is printed earlier and also for nodes which were cut off
  - added support for strong branching with domain propagation in full strong and reliability pseudo cost branching
  - added strong branching with domain propagation support: in SCIPstartStrongbranch(), support for propagation can
    be enabled (uses the probing mode, some overhead compared to standard strong branching), after that
    SCIPgetVarStrongbranchWithPropagation() can be used to perform strong branching on a variable with previous domain
    propagation; similar to probing, valid bounds for variables are collected
  - strong branching with propagation can be enabled in fullstrong and relpscost branching rule
  - added possibility to store pricing norms of the LP solver (in addition to basis information) to speed up LP solving
    after a backtrack, e.g. in probing or strong branching with domain propagation
  - a pricer can now return that no further pricing should be done but rather early branching, even if it added variables

- LP interface:
  - SoPlex (>= 1.7.0.5) can compute condition number of current basis matrix via LP interface
  - LPI files (lpi*.[h|c]) all moved from src/scip to src/lpi

    be processed in parallel
  - added new clique extraction algorithm for linear constraints
  - the slack variables of indicator constraints can now be scaled
  - added redundancy check of sides of ranged row varbound constraint
  - added coefficient tightening for ranged row varbound constraint
  - XOR constraint handler can add two extended formulations (flow/asymmetric, parameter `addflowextended/addextendedform`)
  - added multi-aggregation for binary variables with at most two uplocks and two downlocks, which emerge from set-
    partitioning or set-packing constraints
  - added upgrade from quadratic constraints to set-packing constraints

  - added capability of writing SOS1/2 constraints to GAMS reader (introduces extra variables and equations)

- Heuristic:
  - new primal heuristics dual value
  - new LNS heuristic called `proximity`, which solves a problem in which a local branching constraint replaces the
    objective function which in turn is treated as additional constraint

    the heuristic uses the probing mode of SCIP to generate conflict clauses on the fractional variables

  - changed dualfix presolver to propagator such that dual fixing can also be applied during repropagation of the root node
  - added full-dual presolving step in setppc constraint handler
  - dual solution can now be displayed for pure LPs when no presolving was performed
  - added clique presolving for xor constraints
  - added presolving using pairs of variable bound constraints that use the same variables
  - added more presolving to cons_indicator, checking whether indicator/slack variables are aggregated
  - added presolve.{c,h} which should be used for all preprocessing mechanisms executed from within SCIP, corresponding to
    solve.{c,h} and also for presprocessing methods which can be called from different plugins or from the core to avoid
    code doubling
  - return error if variable should be fixed to infinity after presolving (LP-solvers do not handle this consistently)
  - in verblevel `SCIP_VERBLEVEL_FULL`, the number of non-zeros will be output for the original and presolved model
  - new presolving step for tightening logicor constraints using implication and clique information

    at the root node as well as final dual bound of the root node and LP iterations for processing the root node
    (those where listed in the `Solutions` section before, named `Root Dual Bound` and `Root Iterations`)

Performance improvements

  - disabled multi-aggregation in linear constraint handler when coefficients differ too much
  - improved multi-aggregation in linear constraint handler when only one variable in the aggregation has infinity

Interface changes
-----------------

- removed all message length parameters in message.c and for printing error messages (not needed anymore)

### New and changed callbacks

- Domain Propagation:
  - added parameter `nmarkedconss` to SCIP_DECL_CONSPROP() callback which gives the number of constraints marked
    for propagation (these constraints are listed first in the conss array given as parameter).

- Primal Heuristics:
  - Added parameter `nodeinfeasible` to SCIP_DECL_HEUREXEC() callback which states whether the current subproblem was
    already detected to be infeasible. In this case, the current LP solution might not respect local bounds and the
    heuristic must not assume that it does.

- Variable Pricers:
  - Added parameter `stopearly` to callback method SCIP_DECL_PRICERREDCOST(). This boolean pointer should be used by the pricer
    to state whether early branching should be performed, even if new variables were added in the current pricing round.

  - new possible return value `SCIP_DIDNOTFIND` for SCIP_DECL_BRANCHEXECLP(), SCIP_DECL_BRANCHEXECPS(), and
    SCIP_DECL_BRANCHEXECEXT() callbacks to state that the branching rule searched, but did not find a branching.

### Deleted and changed API functions

    fractionalities and solution values in the same way as binary and integer variables before; the arrays are sorted such
    that binary and integer variables precede the implicit integer variables; the method SCIPbranchcandGetLPCands()

     via SCIProwChgRank() the rank of a cut can be changed (default rank is 0)
  - Added parameter `infeasible` to SCIPaddCut() which is a pointer to store whether the cut is infeasible for the
    local bounds.
  - SCIPgetLPObjval() now returns the LP value of the current (suboptimal) basis if the iteration limit is hit during LP
    solving (instead of -infinity); this value is not necessarily a valid dual bound and must not be used as such, but can
    be used as an objective estimate, e.g., if strong branching is simulated using the probing mode
  - removed parameter `normtype` from function SCIPcomputeLPRelIntPoint()

- Misc:
  - Added parameter `lazyconss` to SCIPwriteMIP() to swith writing removable rows as lazy constraints.

@section RN300 SCIP 3.0.0
*************************

Features
--------

- SCIPcomputeLPRelIntPoint() with normtype=`s` now uses homogenized LP for computing rel.int. point too and allow to
  set relaxrows = FALSE
- new column showing the pseudo objective value
- digraph structure added to misc.c and pub_misc.h that can be used to handle directed graphs, compute undirected
  components in the graph and sort these components (almost) topologically
- SCIP does now print an info message when the root LP could not be solved or is unbounded
- added counter and clock for SCIPcopy() calls
- correct initialization of steepest edge weights with SoPlex 1.6.0.4
- parameters can now be fixed, which means that their value cannot be changed unless they are unfixed, first;
  the fixing status of a parameter is copied to sub-SCIPs, which allows to ensure that certain parameters
  are also not changed when, e.g., heuristics change emphasis settings or also specific parameters
- automatic transfer of original solutions (e.g., provided by the user, from solution pool, after restart, from heuristic
  adding original solution during solve) to the transformed space (might fail due to, e.g., dual fixings)
- added possibility to use GUBs for lifting knapsack cuts (disabled)
- added pre- and post-conditions in doxygen documentation for all methods of scip.{c,h}
- added zeroobj heuristic that solves a copy of the problem without an objective function and with quite strict limits
  on the number of nodes and LP iterations
- complete reworking of the vbounds propagator: it now takes into account variable bounds, cliques and implications,
  stores bounds of variables which were changed and performs a forward propagation from these bounds, i.e., tries to
  derive new bounds for other variables; during propagation, bound changes are propagated in an (almost) topological order

- Constraints:
  - full version of cumulative constraint handler
  - new constraint handler `superindicator` for indicator constraints with slack constraints of arbitrary type
  - implemented first clique lifting procedure in cons_setppc.c (by default is off)
  - the conjunction and disjunction constraint handlers are now able to parse their CIP output format

- Memory:
  - better handling of memory limits, in particular for large problems
  - estimate memory consumption for sub-SCIP and do not copy them if close to memory limit

- Presolve:
  - time for initpre and exitpre methods is now also measured in presolving time
  - added dual presolving for and-constraints difficult instances (no guarantees)
  - oneopt can now be called before presolving
  - added a presolving step in the disjunctive constraint handler, removing disjunction, where a sub-constraint was
    deleted, which means this sub-constraint is redundant, which again means it is always TRUE or will be enforced by
    another constraint
  - added new presolver convertinttobin, which converts bounded integer variables to their binary representation, e.g.
    for integer variable 0 <= x <= 10 the binary variables y0, y1, y2 and y3 are created, such that
    1 y0 + 2 y1 + 4 y2 + 8 y3 <= 10 and x = 1 y0 + 2 y1 + 4 y2 + 8 y3
  - added new presolver gateextraction, which tries to find and-gates/constraints which are linearized
    e.g. (x + y + z >= 1, x + y <= 1 and x + z <= 1 => x == AND(~y,~z)), in special cases it also detects set-partitioning
    constraints e.g. (x + y + z >= 1, x + y <= 1, x + z <= 1 and y + z <= 1 => x + y + z == 1));
    gate-extractor is also able to detect logicor constraints and set-packing/-partitioning constraints with the same
    variables, to upgrade these both constraints to a set-partitioning constraint
  - added new presolver components, that searches for independent components in the problem structure and solves
    these components as sub-SCIPs when they are small enough (per default <= 20 discrete variables, nodelimit of 10000)
  - added new presolver domcol that looks for dominated columns in a MIP and tries to fix them

- Reader:
  - CNF reader now creates feasibility instances per default, usage of an objective has to be set by a parameter
  - added reader for MI(NL)Ps in OSiL (Optimization Services Instance Language) format

- Statistic:
  - new statistics and new statistic output messages
  - number of presolving calls of plugins is counted and displayed in the statistics,
    can be accessed via SCIPpresolGetNCalls() and SCIP{prop/conshdlr}getNPresolCalls()
  - the statistics shows for a branching rule the number of calls for LP, extern and pseudo candidates
  - new switch `SCIP_STATISTIC` and new macros SCIPstatisticMessage(), SCIPstatisticPrintf() and SCIPstatistic() to output
    statistic and execute code lines which are only needed therefor. Works as `SCIP_DEBUG` and SCIPdebugXyz()
  - added statistics on the number of cuts/rows that have actually been applied to the lp for each constraint handler and separator;
    use SCIPcreate(Empty)RowCons() and SCIPcreate(Empty)RowSepa() to support the statistics.

- NLP:
  - new propagators obbt and genvbounds for MINLP
  - new NLPI parameter `SCIP_NLPPAR_FASTFAIL` to enable convergence checks in NLP solver to stop early on seemingly
  - added nlpdiving heuristic that comprises several diving heuristics using an NLP relaxation

Performance improvements
------------------------

- improved time used for adding implications
- speed up in SCIPboolarrayExtend() in misc.c replacing a for loop with BMSmoveMemoryArray() call
- speed up in var.c changing some recursive calls into iterative calls and reducing the number of VARFIX event that are
  thrown for fixation, aggregation or multi-aggregations
- revised reduced cost propagator
- increased performance in SCIPcliqueAddVar(), adding a variable to a clique
- tighten primal and dual feasibility tolerances independently if they are not reached in LP solving

- Probing:
  - if probing reached the end of all variables it will restart the probing cycle correctly
  - improved probing by ordering the variables differently and applying the one-branch before the zero-branch

- Constraints:
  - improved scaling of linear constraints, linear constraints with integral variables will now be scale with
    1e+06/MAX(maximal absolute coefficient, 1.0) instead of 1e+03/MAX(maximal absolute coefficient, 1.0);
    if all coefficients are in absolute value equal they will be scaled by that
  - added clique presolving for and-constraints, which checks if two operands or one operand and the resultant are in a
    clique and then fixes the resultant to 0 and in the former case we can delete the and-constraint too
  - speed up in linear constraint handler replacing aggregated variables
  - when all nonlinearities have been fixed and the number of nonfixed variables is 1 in cons_nonlinear/cons_quadratic/
    cons_bivariate, handle it by a bound change instead of adding a linear constraint

- Separation:
  - automatically turn off separation in sepa_oddcycle if it was too unsuccessful within the last calls
  - use faster Dijkstra variants in sepa_oddcycle
  - improved tcliquegraphAddImplicsVars() in sepa_clique.c to faster add possible variables
  - changed emphasis settings: knapsack disaggregation is now allowed in fast presolving, CG-MIP separator disabled in
    aggressive separation

- Reader:
  - improved lp-, mps-, opb-reading time
  - speed up mps reader asking parameters only once

- Heuristics:
  - added parameters mincoveredrel and mincoveredabs to heur_undercover to only run if problem is sufficiently nonlinear
  - improved intdiving heuristic by activating backtracking to a different fixing value
  - heur_undercover treats indicator constraints as nonlinear and fixes the binary variable for linearization

Examples and applications
-------------------------

- new examples for scheduling and usage of the callable library with nonlinear problems
- the error messages are not handled via the message handler anymore; per default the error message a written to stderr

Interface changes
-----------------

- introduced basic inclusion and creation methods to simplify usage of the SCIP library
- allowed to start diving mode even if LP is not flushed, not solved, or not solved to optimality
- changed the message handler system within SCIP heavily such that it is thread save
- the resolve propagation methods for the constraint handler and propagator getting a new parameter called relaxedbd;
  explaining/resolving this relaxed bound is sufficient
- default integer comparer SCIPsortCompInt() (see pub_misc.h)

- LP interface:
  - SoPlex LPI supports setting of `SCIP_LPPAR_DUALFEASTOL` when using SoPlex version 1.6.0.5 and higher.

- Problem:
  - Forbid problem modifications in `SCIP_STAGE_{INIT,EXIT}PRESOLVE` (see pre-conditions for corresponding methods in scip.h).

- Miscellaneous:
  - New macro SCIPdebugPrintCons() to print constraint only if `SCIP_DEBUG` flag is set.
  - all objscip *.h file now use the default SCIP interface macros (this should avoid errors when changing the interface)

### New and changed callbacks

- Constraint Handler:
  - Added a propagation timing parameter `proptiming` to SCIP_DECL_CONSPROP(), giving the current timing at which
    this method is called (also to the corresponding c++ wrapper classes).
  - New optional callback methods in constraint handlers: `SCIP_DECL_CONSGETVARS` and `SCIP_DECL_CONSGETNVARS`.
    These callbacks, if implemented, should return an array of all variables and the number of all variables used
    by the given constraint, respectively. (This method might, e.g., be called by a presolver)

- NLP Solver Interface:
  - New NLPI callback SCIP_DECL_NLPISETMESSAGEHDLR() to set message handler in NLP solver interfaces.

- Propagator:
  - Added a propagation timing parameter `proptiming` to SCIP_DECL_PROPEXEC(), giving the current timing at which this method is
    called (also to the corresponding c++ wrapper classes).

- Plugin management:
  - added `basic` inclusion methods which have only fundamental data of the plug-ins as arguments; added setter functions
    for all non-fundamental callbacks of the plug-ins; the plug-in types with basic inclusion functions are:
    readers, constraint handlers, conflict handlers, presolvers, propagators, heuristics, separators, relaxation handlers,
    branching rules, node selectors and pricers; these methods should make the usage easier, sparing out optional callbacks and
    parameters: e.g., SCIPincludeConshdlrBasic();
  - To extend the basic functionalities, there are setter method to add
    optional callbacks. For example SCIPsetConshdlrParse(), SCIPsetPropCopy() or SCIPsetHeurInitsol().

- Constraint Handlers:
  - Added basic creation methods for all constraints types, e.g., SCIPcreateConsBasicLinear(); these methods should make the usage easier,
    sparing out optional callbacks and parameters.

    on the number of applied cuts. If rows are created outside a constraint handler or separator use SCIPcreateRowUnspec() and
    SCIPcreateEmptyRowUnspec(). The use of SCIPcreateEmptyRow() and SCIPcreateRow() is deprecated.

  - SCIPaddConflictRelaxedLb(), SCIPaddConflictRelaxedUb() and SCIPaddConflictRelaxedBd(); these methods
    can be used to give for a bound change which is part of an explanation a relaxed bound; this means the relaxed bound

    the number of variables if the corresponding constraint supports this (optional) callbacks
    (corresponding callbacks need to be implemented, see above)

  - SCIPmessagehdlrCapture() which captures a given message handler (increases number of uses)
  - SCIPmessagehdlrRelease() which releases and possibly frees a given message handler (decreases number of uses)
  - SCIPsetMessagehdlrLogfile() which can be used to write into a log file
  - SCIPsetMessagehdlrQuiet() which can be used to turn the screen output on and off

@section RN210 SCIP 2.1.0
*************************

Features
--------

- New original solution storage capability, which allows transfering solutions between SCIP runs
- SCIP-CPX is now threadsafe
- comparison of solutions now also works for original solutions
- can now compute the relative interior point of the current LP
- interval arithmetics for power, log, exp, bivariate quadratic expressions should be rounding safe now
- LP iterations in resolving calls can now be limited w.r.t. the average number of LP iterations in previous calls
  (after the root node); this is currently only done for the initial LP solve at a node and the corresponding parameter
  resolveiterfac is set to -1 (no limit) per default
- it is now possible in `SCIP_STAGE_TRANSFORMED` to call SCIPaddVarLocks() (i.e. to lock variables in initialization methods)
- changed computation of optimality gap which is now done in the same way as described in the MIPLIB 2010 paper: the gap
  is 0, if primalbound (pb) and dualbound (db) are equal (within tolerances), it is infinity if pb and db have opposite
  signs and (this changed), if both have the same sign, the difference between pb and db is devided by the minimum of
  the absolute values of pb and db (instead of always the dual bound)
- functionality to use the bound flipping ratio test of SoPlex is available (requires at least version 1.5.0.7)
- there exists now a solution candidate store for the original problem; during transformation these solutions are tried;
  during free the transformed problem the best feasible solution of the transformed problem are copied to the solution
  candidate store of the original problem; this useful if you solve several problems iteratively, solutions get now
  carried over automatically.
- reworked concept of lazy bounds: they can now also be used for problems where constraints and objective together
  ensure the bounds; to allow this also for diving heuristics that might change the objective and thus destroy this
  property, lazy bounds are explicitly put into the LP during diving and removed afterwards
- `SCIP_HASHMAP` now works also without block memory
- The variable deletion event is now a variable specific event and not global, anymore.
- All timing flags are now defined type_timing.h.
- all C template files are now called <plugintype>_xyz.{c,h} instead of <plugintype>_xxx.{c,h}

- Separators and Cuts:
  - reorganized computation of scores in cut filtering: instead of the computation at the time of addition, scores are now
    only computed w.r.t. the current LP solution and when cut filtering is performed; one can now fill the cut storage
    with cuts that were separated for different solutions
  - New separator for close cuts and a new function to compute relative interior points of the LP
  - added first version of sepa_closecuts.{c,h} to separate cuts w.r.t. a point that is closer to the integral polyhedron

- Constraints:
  - implement possibility to force a restart in cons_indicator if enough indicator variables have been fixed
  - the xor constraint handler can now parse its constraints
  - the bounddisjunction constraint handler can now parse its constraints
  - the knapsack, setppc and soc constraint handler can now parse their constraints
  - the varbound constraint handler can now parse its constraints
  - added beta version of variable deletion: for branch-and-price application, variables can now be completely deleted
    from the problem; variables that are deletable have to be marked with SCIPvarMarkDeletable(), constraint handlers can
    implement the new `SCIP_DECL_DELVARS` callback that should remove variables from the constraints; at the moment, only
    the linear, the setppc and the knapsack constraint handler support this callback; furthermore, when using this
    feature, all used plugins have to capture and release variables they store in their data, this is currently only done
    for the aforementioned constraint handlers as well as the and, the varbound and the logicor constraint handler; for
    more details about this feature, see the FAQ
  - added pseudoboolean constraint handler (cons_pseudoboolean.{c,h})
  - added first version of cons_disjunction.{c,h} which allows a disjunction of constraints

    is created as well
  - added clock for determine the time for reading
  - added reader for variable bounds (reader_bnd.{c,h})
  - Removed method SCIPreadSol(); call solution reading via SCIPreadProb() which calls the solution reader for .sol files.

  - added BETA version of constraint handler for nonlinear constraints (cons_nonlinear.{c,h}) to handle nonlinear
    equations given by algebraic expressions using operands like addition, multiplication, power, exp, log, bivariate
    nonlinear constraints; currently no trigonometric functions
  - added BETA version of constraint handler for bivariate nonlinear constraints (cons_bivariate.{c,h}) to compute tight
    estimators for 1-convex and convex-concave bivariate nonlinear functions (given as expression tree)

    to setppc constraints if a negated clique inside this constraint exist, by default is off
  - new presolving step in cons_knapsack (detectRedundantVars, deleteRedundantVars) which determines redundant variables
    in knapsack constraint with or without using clique information
  - cons_logicor is now able to replace all aggregated variables in presolving by there active or negation of an active
    variable counterpart
  - prop_pseudoobj is now working in presolving as well
  - implement presolving in exitpre() in cons_orbitope and cons_indicator

- Propagators:
  - added counter for number calls and timing for resolve propagation calls for constraint handler and propagators
  - Propagators are now also called in node presolving
  - the probing presolver presol_probing.{c.h} is now a propagator prop_probing.{c,h}, all corresponding parameters moved as well
  - the redcost separator sepa_redcost.{c.h} is now a propagator prop_redcost.{c,h}, all corresponding parameters moved as well
  - outsourced propAndSolve() method in solve.c which calls domain propagation and solving of the lp and relaxation

  - Constraints section has new column named `MaxNumber` which the maximum number of active constraint of a certain
    constraint handler
  - added two columns `Time-0-It` and `Calls-0-It` in the LP section which states the number of LP call and time spend for
    solving LPs with zero iterations (only refactorization)
  - The display of statistics for presolvers, propagators, constraints and LP solving has changed.

Performance improvements
------------------------

- Reorganized filtering process of separation storage (allows adding cuts for different solutions)
- Improved presolving for various constraint handlers
- Improved propagation methods for variable bound constraints
- Improved performance for quadratic constraints
- performance improvements in prop_vbounds
- child selection rules now get also applied when the relaxation value is equal to the bound changed in branching
- added dual reduction to cons_cumulative.c
- for continuous variables, the pseudo costs update and the pscost branching rule now use the same strategies for
  updating the pseudo costs and estimating the improvement in the LP bound
- only perform probing if the variables are locked
- performance and memory consumption improvements in xmlparse.c
- Improved knapsack cover cuts
- avoid very long separation times of LEWIs in cons_knapsack for very large minimal covers
- used SCIPallocMemoryArray() instead of SCIPallocBlockMemoryArray() which leads to fewer memory consumption in

  quickstart steepest edge pricing
- made sorting method more robust
- LNS heuristics now use SCIPcopy() by default
- considering inactive variables in undercover heuristic; limiting effort for solving covering problem
- if during probing mode the LP relaxation is solved from scratch, e.g., when calling the shiftandpropagate heuristic
  before root node solving, then we clear the resulting LP state, since it might be a bad starting basis for the next
  solve of the LP relaxation (controlled by new parameter `lp/clearinitialprobinglp`)
- included LP simplifier into SoPlex LP interface, applied when solving from scratch (lpi_spx.cpp)
- new presolving steps in varbound constraint handler, tightening bounds, coefficients, sides and pairwise presolving

Interface changes
-----------------

- Miscellaneous:
  - The emphasis setting types now distinguish between plugin-type specific parameter settings (default, aggressive, fast, off),
    which are changed by SCIPsetHeuristics/Presolving/Separating(), and global emphasis settings (default, cpsolver, easycip,
    feasibility, hardlp, optimality, counter), which can be set using SCIPsetEmphasis().

### New and changed callbacks

- added propagator timings `SCIP_PROPTIMING_BEFORELP`, `SCIP_PROPTIMING_DURINGLPLOOP` and `SCIP_PROPTIMING_AFTERLPLOOP` for
  all propagation callbacks (see propagators and constraint handlers) which lead to calling the propagation methods of a
  propagator before the lp is solved, during the lp loop and after the lp solving loop

- Conflict Analysis:
  - Added parameter `separate` to conflict handler callback method SCIP_DECL_CONFLICTEXEC() that defines whether the conflict
    constraint should be separated or not.

- Constraint Handler:
  - The new constraint handler callback SCIP_DECL_CONSDELVARS() is called after variables were marked for deletion.
    This method is optional and only of interest if you are using SCIP as a branch-and-price framework. That means,
    you are generating new variables during the search. If you are not doing that just define the function pointer
    to be `NULL`.
    If this method gets implemented you should iterate over all constraints of the constraint handler and delete all
    variables that were marked for deletion by SCIPdelVar().

- NLP Solver Interface:
  - The callbacks SCIP_DECL_NLPIGETSOLUTION() and SCIP_DECL_NLPISETINITIALGUESS() got new parameters to get/set values of
    dual variables.
  - The callback SCIP_DECL_NLPICOPY() now passes the block memory of the target SCIP as an additional parameter.

- Presolving:
  - New parameters `isunbounded` and `isinfeasible` for presolving initialization (SCIP_DECL_CONSINITPRE(),
    SCIP_DECL_PRESOLINITPRE(), SCIP_DECL_PROPINITPRE()) and presolving deinitialization (SCIP_DECL_CONSEXITPRE(),
    SCIP_DECL_PRESOLEXITPRE(), SCIP_DECL_PROPEXITPRE()) callbacks of presolvers,
    constraint handlers and propagators, telling the callback whether the problem was already declared to be
    unbounded or infeasible.  This allows to avoid expensive steps in these methods in case the problem is already
    solved, anyway.

    Note, that the C++ methods
    - scip::ObjConshdlr::scip_presol() corresponding to SCIP_DECL_CONSPRESOL()
    - scip::ObjConshdlr::scip_initpre() corresponding to  SCIP_DECL_CONSINITPRE()

- renamed parameter `constraints/quadratic/mincutefficacyenfo` to `constraints/quadratic/mincutefficacyenfofac` and
  interpret it as a factor of the feasibility tolerance
- removed fastmip setting 2, which means the dualsolution would not be calculated but because SCIP always asks for the
  dual solution, the lp would be reoptimized to calculate them; so it had no real effect
- all parameters in cons_indicator and cons_sos1 have been converted to lower case!
- changed default value of parameter `separating/gomory/maxroundsroot` to 10
- changed default value of parameter `separating/gomory/maxsepacutsroot` to 50

- `lp/clearinitialprobinglp` to clear LP state at end of probing mode, if LP was initially unsolved
- `lp/resolveitermin` and `lp/resolveiterfac` to limit the number of LP iterations in resolving calls:

  nonlinear expressions and simplification for expression trees and graphs

Testing
-------

- New scripts for running tests with GAMS
- added scripts check_gams.sh, evalcheck_gams.sh and check_gams.awk and target `testgams` in Makefile
- adjusted all test scripts to use the same new optimality gap computation as in SCIP
- added Makefile option `VALGRIND=true` to enable running the SCIP checks (make test) through valgrind; valgrind errors
  and memory leaks are reported as fails
- moved *.test and *.solu files to subdirectory testset in check directory and adjusted test scripts

Build system
------------

### Makefile

- Variables:
  - via `PARASCIP=true` as a `Makefile` option it is possible to compile SCIP threadsafe in DEBUG-mode, (in OPT-mode it's
    only necessary if non-default messagehandler or CppAD is used)
  - the `make` parameter `PARASCIP=true` leads to threadsafe message handlers where you need to call
    SCIPcreateMesshdlrPThreads() and SCIPmessageSetHandler()/SCIPmessageSetDefaultHandler() and SCIPfreeMesshdlrPThreads();
    therefore we need to link with pthread library
  - new variable $(INSTALLDIR) in Makefile which define installation directory for the libraries, $(INSTALLDIR)/lib/,
    binary, $(INSTALLDIR)/bin and include headers, $(INSTALLDIR)/include, the default value is the empty string

- Linking:
  - Linking against Clp and Ipopt has been simplified. Only the directory where the
    package has been installed need to be provided now. For details see the INSTALL file.
  - to link against IPOPT, only the base directory of an Ipopt installation need to be specified now; additionally, if
    building with gnu compilers, the Ipopt libraries directory is stored in the SCIP binary, which should make it easier
    to run with Ipopt shared libraries
  - to link against Clp, only the base directory of an Clp installation needs to be specified now

- Targets:
  - New targets `(un)install` in Makefile, support for valgrind in testing environment
  - new target `make libs` which compiles only the libraries
  - new target in Makefile `install` performs `make` and copies using the install command the include headers, binary, and
    libraries
  - new target in Makefile `uninstall` removes libraries, binary and include headers form `INSTALLDIR`
  - removed target `lintfiles`, this target is now imitated by the `lint` target and a none empty variable `FILES`

Fixed bugs
----------

- fixed bug in copying if the target SCIP already is in solving stage: it might be that the copy of a variable cannot be found/created
- fixed bug trying to print big messages bigger than `SCIP_MAXSTRLEN`
- fixed bug w.r.t. counting feasible solutions and turned of sparse solution test
- LP solution status is now checked when checking root LP solution. Otherwise, due to different time measurements, it
  might happen that the LP solving was stopped due to the time limit, but SCIP did not reach the limit, yet.
- fixed bug trying to tighten multiaggregated variables, which have only one active representation and this variable is already tightened
- fixed possible buffer overrun in tclique_graph.c
- fixed issue with interactive shell in case (user) plugins are included after the default plugins
- fixed bug where mutiaggregating leads to an aggregation and both variables were of implicit or integral type
- fixed bug in conflict.c, where LPi was manipulated, but not marked as not solved

- Tree:
  - fixed assertion in tree.c w.r.t. node estimation
  - fixed bug in debug.c: removed tree nodes had not been checked if they were pruned due to an incumbent solution found by a diving heuristic

- Bounds:
  - fixed bug which occurred when changing a bound in the solving stage when this variables got upgraded from continuous to
    a integer type, where the bounds of this variable were still not integral; due to that SCIPchgVarType() has changed (see above)
  - fixed bug in handling of lazy bounds that resulted in putting the bounds explicitly into the LP

- Separation:
  - fixed assert in sepa_clique.c which is currently not valid because implicit binary variables in cliques are ignored
  - fixed bug in sepa_zerohalf.c concerning inconsistent construction of solution array of variables and fixed wrong assert about variable bounds

- Constraints:
  - fixed not correct merging of variable in logicor constraint handler and changed the name of the method to a common
    name used by other constraint handlers too(findPairsAndSets->mergeMultiples)
  - fixed bugs in changing the initial and checked flags for constraints in original problem
  - fixed bug in cons_linear.c, when scaling a constraint maxabscoef was not set correctly, furthermore the correction of
    maxabscoef was not handled correctly
  - fixed bug in cons_indicator.c trying to copy a constraint where the pointer to the linear constraint did not point to
    the already transformed linear constraint (, happend when SCIPcopy() is used after transforming before presolving)
  - fixed numerical bug in linear constraint handler: polishing of coefficients after fixing variables led to wrong
    results for continuous variables fixed to a close-to-zero value.
  - fixed bug in cons_bounddisjunction where branching on multiaggregated variables was tried while all aggregation variables are fixed
  - fixed bug in presolving of cons_logicor.c: adding variable implications can lead to further reductions; added call to applyFixings()
  - fixed bug in cons_countsols.c w.r.t. none active variables
  - fixed bug in cons_linear.c, scaling could have led to wrong values

- Reader:
  - fixed bug in reader_fzn.c w.r.t. cumulative constraints
  - fixed bug in reader_mps.c: if a variables first occurence is in the bounds section, then the corresponding variable bound was lost
  - fixed several issues in flatzinc reader
  - deactived checking of zero solution in Zimpl reader when no starting values are provided
  - reader_lp is now able to read lines longer than 65534 characters

- Memory:
  - fixed bug in copying NLPI interfaces that use block-memory (NLPI copy used block memory from source SCIP)
  - fixed memory leak in reader_pip.c
  - fixed memory leak in coloring part of maximum clique algorithm (tclique_coloring.c)
  - fixed memory leak in coloring part of maximum clique algorithm (tclique_coloring.c) in a better way

- Numerics:
  - fixed bug which occurred when the dual farkas multipliers were not available in the lpi because the LP could only be
    solved with the primal simplex due to numerical problems
  - fixed bug in ZI round heuristic that led to infeasible shiftings for numerically slightly infeasible rows with close-to-zero coefficients
  - fixed numerical issue in octane heuristic: close-to-zero values for ray direction could have led to bad computations

- Propagation:
  - fixed bug in propagation of indicator constraints: cannot fix slack variable to 0 if linear constraint is disabled/not active
  - fixed bug in cons_linear.c while sorting the eventdatas during the binary variable sorting for propagation
  - fixed bug and wrong assert in heur_shiftandpropagate.c when relaxing continuous variables from the problem
  - fixed bug in cons_orbitope:resprop() for the packing case
  - fixed wrong changing of wasdelayed flag for propagators
  - fixed bug using wrong sign in infinity check in prop_pseudoobj
  - fixed bug in redcost propagator: can only be called if the current node has an LP
  - fixed bug w.r.t. infinity loop during propagation

Miscellaneous
-------------

- The interface contains several additional callback functions and parameters for plugins. Some effort may be required to compile your old
  projects with SCIP 2.1. For details see section `Changes between version 2.0 and 2.1` in the doxygen documentation.

*************************

Performance improvements
------------------------

- SCIP with SoPlex as LP solver now uses auto pricing by default (start with devex, switch to steepest
  edge after some iterations); this fixes timeouts on instances where devex converges very slowly
- fixing lifting of new knapsack items which are negated items of already included items, this could lead to very long presolving
- fixed performance issue in presolving w.r.t. to computing the number of new fixings, aggregated,
  and so on before a constraint handler presolver is called
- in case of adding constraints during pricing with initial flag set to
  TRUE, we add now these constraints after the pricing round to the LP
- changed parameter values in clique separator in order to avoid very large branch-and-bound trees

Interface changes
-----------------

### New and changed callbacks

- allow access of transformed constraints in `SCIP_STAGE_TRANSFORMED`

### Changed parameters

- replaced parameter `constraints/quadratic/minefficacy` by `constraints/quadratic/minefficacysepa` and `constraints/quadratic/minefficacyenfo`
- added possible values `a` and `e` for `constraints/soc/nlpform` to enable automatic choice and convex exponential-sqrt
  form for SOC constraint representation in NLP

Fixed bugs
----------

- fixed bug w.r.t. looseobjval; the counting of number of loose variables in the LP data structure was incorrect in case
  a variable got aggregated or multi-aggregated

  - fixed bug in debug.c w.r.t. checking of constraints and continuous variables
  - fixed bug in cons.c which didn't allow the changing of the separation and enforcement flag of a constraint in the
    problem stage
  - corrected behavior of the copy function in cons_indicator.c: create artificial linear constraint if linear constraint
    was deleted
  - fixed bug in cons_indicator.c: presolving cannot delete linear constraints; several other minor bugfixes
  - fixed bugs in cons_bounddisjunction where the branching during the constraint enforcement was done incorrectly
  - fixed bugs in cons_orbitope.c: orbitopal fixing for the packing case had two bugs; also fixed one wrong assert

  - fixed bug in heur_undercover: removed option globalbounds, since we are not allowed to relax bounds at a probing node
  - fixed bug in heur_shiftandpropagate where some variables were initialized too late
  - fixed numerical issue in some heuristics: nearly-integral values that are between the feasibility and the integrality
    tolerance might not have been rounded correctly
  - fixed bug in heur_guideddiving: best solution is now copied to avoid deletion in case of many new solutions
  - fixed bug in DINS heuristic, information storage for binary variables could lead to bad memory access in column
    generation applications
  - fixed bug in heur_shiftandpropagate.c: Now, the heuristic checks rows for global infeasibility at the beginning. This
    check is only relevant if presolving is disabled.
  - fixed bug in heur_subnlp when forbidding a particular combination of integer variables in the main problem

@section RN200 SCIP 2.0.0
*************************

Features

  at the moment, it contains information about the relaxation solution stored in the variables: objective value and
  validness
- SCIP may now be manually restarted
- SCIPsolveKnapsackExactly() got a new 12. parameter `SCIP_Bool* success` which stores if an error occurred during
  solving(normally a memory problem)
- SCIP can now handle problems with continuous variables w.r.t. to counting (the projection to the integral variables
  are counted)
- an XML-parser is available in the src/xml subdirectory

  - new undercover heuristic for MINLPs: fixes variables such as to obtain a linear or convex subproblem and solves this
  - primal heuristics may now already be called before presolving, using the new timing point
    `SCIP_HEURTIMING_BEFOREPRESOL`.  Note that solutions that are added before/during presolving, will be retransformed to
    the original space.

- Indicator constraints:
  - SCIP can now handle indicator constraints (reading (from LP, ZIMPL), writing, solving, ...) see \ref cons_indicator.h.
  - the indicator constraint can now decompose the problem, i.e., not add the linear constraint to the problem if all of
    its variables are continuous
  - can now read and write indicator constraints in the (extended) MPS format
  - cons_indicator tries to adapt solutions to get feasible during check
  - cons_indicator allows to store information on other linear constraints that might help to separate cuts

- Constraint handlers:
  - Solution counting extended to constraint integer programs, this also
    includes constraint integer programs which contain continuous variables
  - The solution behavior of SCIP can be diversified by randomly permuting constraints and variables or randomly
    determining a set of branching variables with a unique high priority
  - `negated cliques` (1<=i<=n : sum (x_i) >= n-1) were added and we are using them now inside the knapsack constraint
    handler, the cliquepartitioning which is returned by SCIPcalcCliquePartition() contains now integer != 0, negatives ones
    indicates a negated clique and positive ones indicates a normal clique
  - SCIP is now able to detect in DEBUG-mode whether a constraint or variables which will be added, was also created in
    the same scip instance, if not an error is thrown
  - cons_knapsack is now able to detect negated cliques due to negated cliques on knapsack constraints
  - SCIP is now able to write non-linear opb-files(linear instances with and-constraints)
  - New constraint handlers for linking constraints (only Beta), cumulative constraints, and for breaking orbitopal symmetries
  - `negated cliques` handling in knapsack constraint handler got changed due to the new method
    SCIPcalcNegatedCliquePartition() resulting in new consdata members `negcliquepartition`, `negcliquepartitioned` and
    `nnegcliques`; changed SCIPcalcCliquePartition() so all cliquepartitions (calculated by SCIPcalcCliquePartition() or
    SCIPcalcNegatedCliquePartition(), which uses the first one) contain again not negative integers
  - `and`, `knapsack`, `linear`, `logic`, `or`, `quadratic`, `setpp`, `varbound`, `xor` and `clique` constraint handlers

  - cons_quadratic can make solutions in CONSCHECK feasible for the quadratic constraints by moving values of linear
    variables and passing the modified solution to the trysol heuristic
  - constraint handler can now register their upgrade functions for quadratic constraints to cons_quadratic (similar to
    LINCONSUPGD)

- Separation:
  - New separators for oddcycle cuts and Chvatal-Gomory cuts using sub-MIPs
  - modified implementation of separation algorithms in cons_knapsack.c according to results of diploma thesis; including
    super-additive lifting (disabled)
  - uncommented decomposeProblem() in sepa_zerohalf.c (in default settings, not used anyway): was not adapted to the case
    that contiuous variables are allowed in a row
  - new separator rapid learning (sepa_rapidlearning.{c,h}) that produces conflicts, global bound changes, primal
    solutions and initializes inference values for branching
  - added Chvatal-Gomory cuts separated with a sub-MIP (sepa_cgmip.{c|h})
  - added reader for 'Weigted Boolean Optimization': problems (reader_wbo.{c,h}), this reader needs the reader_opb files
  - new separator oddcycle (sepa_oddcycle.{c,h}) separates oddcycle inequalities using the implication/conflict graph and
    dijkstra-algorithm based on binary heaps (dijkstra/dijkstra_bh.{c,h})

- Branching:
  - Branching on externally given candidates, the \ref BRANCH 'branching rules' have a second new callback method
    (see type_branch.h for more details): SCIP_DECL_BRANCHEXECEXT(x) can be used to branch on external branching candidates,
    which can be added by a user's `relaxation handler` or `constraint handler` plugin, calling SCIPaddExternBranchCand().
  - added branchcands for relaxator solution, that can be added by the relaxator and used by branching rules
  - added relaxsol to variables, s.t. a relaxator can store a solution on which branching or separation can be done
  - SCIP can now branch on relaxation solutions that are either installed to the relaxsol field of the variables or added
    to the list of relaxation candidates, e.g., by constraint handlers. Branching on relaxation solutions is performed if
    the enforcement resulted in an unresolved infeasibility and there are no LP branching candidates, but before pseudo
    solution branching.  The branching rules leastinf, mostinf, random and pscost implement the callback for branching on
    relaxation candidates.
  - SCIP can branch on continuous variables. The branching value x' must not be one of the bounds. Two children (x <= x',
    x >= x') will be created.
  - the vbc visualization adds the branching type (lower or upper bound change) and the new bound to the node information
  - the vbc visualization adds the new bound of the branched variable to the node information

- Statistic:
  - added statistic information about the first primal solution to SCIP statistic; in the statistic output a new line
    appears with this information
  - now the statistic displays the number of calls of the feasibility checking method of each constraint handler and the
    running time of it

- Propagation:
  - New rounding and propagation heuristics
  - New propagator for variable bounds
  - primal heuristics may now be called directly after the node's propagation loop, using the new timing point
    `SCIP_HEURTIMING_AFTERPROPLOOP`
  - following methods SCIPinferVarUbProp(), SCIPinferVarLbProp(), SCIPinferVarLbCons(), SCIPinferVarUbCons() have a new 6th
    parameter `SCIP_Bool force` which allows bound tightening even if the difference to the newbound is below bound
    strengthening tolerance
  - added propagator for variable lower and upper bounds (prop_vbounds.{c,h}); adjusted cons_varbound.c, var.c, and,
    implics.c to work correctly with the new propagator

- Nonlinear CIPs:
  + Improved constraint handler for quadratic constraints
  + New constraint handler for second order cone constraints
  + New MINLP heuristics (undercover, subnlp)
  + Preliminary support for non-linear relaxations (via expression trees)
  + Automatic branching on solutions from arbitrary relaxations and on continuous variables

------------------------

- improved `settings/emphasis/cpsolver.set` to decrease time per node
- reworked access to pseudo solution and inference value of variables in order to reduce function calls
- changed default value of parameter `nodeselection/restartdfs/selectbestfreq` to 0; this means if the current node has
  no children the node with the best bound is selected (SCIPgetBestboundNode())
- added a dual reduction step in cons_knapsack.c
- fasten check for common cliques in SCIPcliquelistsHaveCommonClique
- SCIP with CPLEX as LP solver now uses quickstart steepest edge pricing as default instead of steepest edge pricing
- avoid unnecessary domain propagation and LP resolve at nodes with infeasible LP relaxation
- improved zerohalf cut separator: more than one delta is tested for MIR cuts, better handling of dense base
  inequalities, faster scaling of fractional coefficients in rows (now enabled), improved parameter settings (presolving)

- LP solution:
  - in root node, first LP solution is checked for feasibility to avoid expensive setup
  - avoided restarting if LP solution is feasible
  - separators are not called any longer for an integral initial LP solution

- SCIP can now maintain a central NLP relaxation of the problem (similar to LP)
- SCIP can now manage a list of external codes (e.g., LP or NLP solver, ZIMPL)
- lp.h/lp.c and the lpi's were changed according to the changes mentioned below.
- adding and deletion of rows to the separation storage and to the LP can now be catched by events
  (`SCIP_EVENTTYPE_ROWADDEDSEPA`, `SCIP_EVENTTYPE_ROWDELETEDSEPA`, `SCIP_EVENTTYPE_ROWADDEDLP`, `SCIP_EVENTTYPE_ROWDELETEDLP`)

### New and changed callbacks

- new callback SCIP_DECL_BRANCHEXECRELAX(), together with new parameter in SCIPincludeBranchrule() for branching on a
  relaxation solution

- Copying a SCIP instance:
  - Constraint handlers have two new callback methods. One for copying the constraint handler plugins
    SCIP_DECL_CONSHDLRCOPY() and the other for copying a constraint itself, SCIP_DECL_CONSCOPY().
  - All plugins, like \ref BRANCH `branching rules` and \ref HEUR `primal heuristics`, have a new callback method (see, e.g.,
    type_branch.h and type_heur.h for more details):
    - SCIP_DECL_BRANCHCOPY(x), SCIP_DECL_HEURCOPY(x) etc.
    - When copying a SCIP instance, these methods are called to copy the plugins.
  - The main problem has a new callback method (see type_prob.h for more details) SCIP_DECL_PROBCOPY(x) when copying a
    SCIP instance, this method is called to copy the problem's data.
  - Variables have a new callback method (see type_var.h for more details) SCIP_DECL_VARCOPY(x) when copying a SCIP
    instance, this method is called to copy the variables' data.

- Restarts:
  - The callback SCIP_DECL_PROBEXITSOL(x) in the main problem has one new parameter (see type_prob.h for more details):
    - The parameter `restart` is `TRUE` if the callback method was triggered by a restart.

### Deleted and changed API functions

- All C++ objects and constructors have a SCIP pointer, now.
- added parameter scip to ObjCloneable::clone()
- changes in a row can now be catched via row events (SCIPcatchRowEvent(), SCIPdropRowEvent(),
  `SCIP_EVENTTYPE_ROWCOEFCHANGED`, `SCIP_EVENTTYPE_ROWCONSTCHANGED`, `SCIP_EVENTTYPE_ROWSIDECHANGED`)
- added new parameter `varcopy` to SCIPcreateVar() to add the function for copying variable data
- in case of using SCIPwriteTransProblem() the currently (locally) valid problem is written this now also includes the
  local constraints

- Settings:
  - The predefined setting files like `settings/cuts/off.set,aggressive.set,fast.set` have been replaced by
    interface methods like SCIPsetHeuristics(), SCIPsetPresolving(), SCIPsetSeparating(), and SCIPsetEmphasis() in
    \ref scip.h and by user dialogs in the interactive shell like
    `SCIP> set {heuristics|presolving|separating} emphasis {aggressive|fast|off}` or
    `SCIP> set emphasis {counter|cpsolver|easycip|feasibility|hardlp|optimality}`
  - All functions for setting user parameters of different types like SCIPparamSetBool(), SCIPparamSetChar(),
    SCIPparamSetInt(), SCIPparamSetLongint(), and SCIPparamSetString() in pub_paramset.h have a new parameter
    `quiet` it prevents any output during the assign to a new value.

- NLP:
  - NLPIs can now be used without generating a SCIP instance (i.e., do not require a SCIP pointer), code moved into src/nlpi
  - NLPIs can now be managed like other SCIP plugins, i.e., they can be included into the SCIP core and accessed by
    methods SCIPincludeNlpi(), SCIPfindNlpi(), SCIPgetNNlpis(), SCIPgetNlpis(), SCIPsetNlpiPriority()

- Intervalarithmetic:
  - method SCIPgetVarPseudocostCurrentRun() now returns the pseudocost value of one branching direction, scaled to a unit
    interval, old method now called SCIPgetVarPseudocostValCurrentRun()
  - renamed SCIPintervalScalarProductRealsIntervals()/SCIPintervalScalarProduct() by
    SCIPintervalScalprodScalars()/SCIPintervalScalprod() and redesigned them in intervalarith.c including new methods
    SCIPintervalScalprodScalarsInf/Sup()

- Branching:
  - The usage of strong branching changed. Now, SCIPstartStrongbranch() and SCIPendStrongbranch() must be
    called before and after strong branching, respectively.
  - The methods SCIPgetVarPseudocost() and SCIPgetVarPseudocostCurrentRun() in \ref scip.h now return the pseudocost value of
    one branching direction, scaled to a unit interval. The former versions of SCIPgetVarPseudocost() and
    SCIPgetVarPseudocostCurrentRun() are now called SCIPgetVarPseudocostVal() and SCIPgetVarPseudocostValCurrentRun(), respectively.
  - The methods SCIPgetVarConflictScore() and SCIPgetVarConflictScoreCurrentRun() in \ref scip.h are now called
    SCIPgetVarVSIDS() and SCIPgetVarVSIDSCurrentRun(), respectively.
  - The methods SCIPvarGetNInferences(), SCIPvarGetNInferencesCurrentRun(), SCIPvarGetNCutoffs(), and
    SCIPvarGetNCutoffsCurrentRun() are now called SCIPvarGetInferenceSum(), SCIPvarGetInferenceSumCurrentRun(),
    SCIPvarGetCutoffSum(), and SCIPvarGetCutoffSumCurrentRun(), respectively. Furthermore, they now return
    `SCIP_Real` instead of `SCIP_Longint` values.
  - The method SCIPgetVarStrongbranch() has been replaced by two methods SCIPgetVarStrongbranchFrac() and
    SCIPgetVarStrongbranchInt().

- Copying a SCIP instance:
  - Every new callback method resulted in a new parameter of the include function for the corresponding plugin,
    e.g., SCIPincludeBranchrule() has two new parameters `SCIP_DECL_BRANCHCOPY((*branchcopy))` and
    `SCIP_DECL_BRANCHEXECREL((*branchexecrel))`.  In the same fashion, the new callbacks
    `SCIP_DECL_VARCOPY` and `SCIP_DECL_PROBCOPY` led to new parameters in SCIPcreateVar() and SCIPcreateProb() in
    scip.c, respectively.
  - W.r.t. to copy and the C++ wrapper classes there are two new classes. These are `ObjCloneable` and `ObjProbCloneable`.
    The constraint handlers and variables pricers are derived from `ObjProbCloneable` and all other plugin are derived from `ObjCloneable`.
    Both classes implement the function `iscloneable()` which return whether a plugin is clone able or not. Besides that each class has a
    function named `clone()` which differ in their signature. See objcloneable.h, objprobcloneable.h, and the TSP example for more details.
  - SCIPincludeHeur() and SCIPincludeSepa() in \ref scip.h, as well as scip::ObjSepa() and scip::ObjHeur(), have a new parameter:
    `usessubscip`: It can be used to inform SCIP that the heuristic/separator to be included uses a secondary SCIP instance.
  - The argument success in `SCIP_DECL_CONSCOPY` has been renamed to valid.

- Heuristics:
  - SCIPcutGenerationHeuristicCmir() in sepa_cmir.h has three new parameters:
    - `maxmksetcoefs`: If the mixed knapsack constraint obtained after aggregating LP rows contains more
      than `maxmksetcoefs` nonzero coefficients the generation of the c-MIR cut is aborted.
    - `delta`: It can be used to obtain the scaling factor which leads to the best c-MIR cut found within
      the cut generation heuristic. If a `NULL` pointer is passed, the corresponding c-MIR cut will already be
      added to SCIP by SCIPcutGenerationHeuristicCmir(). Otherwise, the user can generate the cut and add it to SCIP
      on demand afterwards.
    - `deltavalid`: In case, the user wants to know the best scaling factor, i.e., `delta` passed is not `NULL`,
      `deltavalid` will be `TRUE` if the stored scaling factor `delta` will lead to a violated c-MIR cut.

    ensure branching point is inside the interval for a continuous variable
  - SCIPexecRelpscostBranching() in branch_relpscost.{c,h}; this method allows of calling the reliability
    pseudo cost branching algorithm for given set of branching candidates from the outside
  - SCIPinitVarBranchStats() to initialize the branching statistics (such as pseudo costs, VSIDS, inference values) of a variable
  - SCIPselectBranchVarPscost() in branch_pscost.{c,h}; this method selects from a given candidate array a
    branching variable w.r.t. pseudo cost branching for relax candidates

- Reading, Writing and Parsing:
  - SCIPparseVarName() which parses a string in cip-format as a variable name
  - SCIPparseVarList() which parses a string as a variable list in cip-format
  - the Flatzinc reader can now handle the output annotations of the Flatzinc format; the method SCIPprintSolReaderFzn()
    outputs the given solution in Flatzinc format w.r.t. the output annotations
  - SCIPprintSolReaderFzn() which prints the best solution in Flatzinc format w.r.t. to the output annotations
    in the input file of the flatzinc model
  - SCIPwriteVarName() which writes a variable in cip-format to given stream
  - SCIPwriteVarsList() which writes an array of variables in cip-Format to given stream
  - SCIPwriteVarsLinearsum() which writes an array of variables and coefficients as linear sum in cip-Format to given stream

- Copying a SCIP instance:
  - SCIPapplyRens() in \ref heur_rens.h has a new parameter `uselprows`. It can be used to switch from LP rows
    to SCIP constraints as basis of the sub-SCIP constructed in the RENS heuristic.

- Parameters:
  - SCIPsetParamsCountsols() which sets the parameter for a valid counting process
  - SCIPsetEmphasis() which sets parameter to detect feasibility fast, handle hard LP, solves easy CIPs fast, behaves like a
    CP solver, set parameter for a valid counting process; the desired behavior is triggered via a parameter of the function
  - SCIPresetParam() to reset the value of a single parameter to its default value

- Settings:
  - added SCIPsortRealRealRealPtr() and corresponding sorting/inserting/deleting methods in pub_misc.h and necessary defines in misc.c
    as basis for the subSCIP, setting ist to TRUE (uses LP rows) will lead to same version as before
  - SCIPsetHeuristics(), SCIPsetSeparating(), SCIPsetPresolving() which set the heuristics to aggressive, fast, off, or
    default settings, depending on the `SCIP_PARAMSET` parameter
  - SCIPsetSubscipsOff() which disables all plugins that uses subscips
  - SCIPsepaSetFreq() to set the calling frequency of a separator

### Command line interface

- added new dialog for setting the SCIP parameters for hardlp, optimality, easy CIP, CP like search
- added new dialog for setting the SCIP parameters for feasibility problems `SCIP> set emphasis feasibility`
- added new dialog for setting the SCIP parameters for counting `SCIP> set emphasis counting`
- added new dialog for setting presolving to aggressive, fast, or off in interactive shell
- added new dialog for setting separation to aggressive, fast, or off in interactive shell

- added new dialog `display pricers` which displays all included pricers

### Interfaces to external software

- added interface to CppAD (nlpi/exprinterpret_cppad.cpp)
- Improved Xpress, CPLEX, SoPlex interfaces
- the SoPlex interface now includes equilibrium scaling on lp's solved from scratch without starting basis
- the SoPlex interface can now double check each SoPlex result against CPLEX (lpi_spx.cpp)
- the SoPlex interface has the option to restore basis only after entire strong branching phase instead of after each
  strong branch (off, because it mostly appears to increase strong branching time and iterations) (lpi_spx.cpp)

### Changed parameters

- removed parameter `constraints/knapsack/maxnumcardlift` and adapted setting files
- changed parameter `lp/fastmip` from boolean to integer, possible values are 0 (off), 1 (medium, default), 2 (full,
  must not be used with branch-and-price).

### New parameters

- `branching/clamp` to set the minimal fractional distance of a branching point to a continuous variable' bounds
- `branching/random/seed` to change the initial seed value of the branching rule random
- `constraints/indicator/addCouplingCons` that allows to add variable upper bounds if addCoupling is true
- `constraints/indicator/enforceCuts` that allows to check for violated cust in enforcement
- `constraints/indicator/maxCouplingValue` for the maximal value of the coefficient in a coupling inequality/constraint
- `constraints/indicator/noLinconsCon` which controls whether the linear constraint is not explicitly
  added to the problem. default is FALSE
- `constraints/knapsack/dualpresolving` to switch dualpresolving on/off inside the knapsack constraint handler, default is TRUE
- `constraints/knapsack/presolpairwise` that allows pairwise presolving of knapsack constraints, default is TRUE
- `constraints/knapsack/presolusehashing` that allows fast pairwise presolving of knapsack constraints, default is TRUE
- `heuristics/crossover/dontwaitatroot` that allows to call crossover at root node independently from nwaitingnodes
- `heuristics/rens/uselprows` that allows to switch between LP row and SCIP constraints as basis for the
  subSCIP, default is TRUE (uses LP rows)
- `lp/rowrepswitch` telling simplex solver to switch to row representation of the basis (if possible),
  if number of rows divided by number of columns exceeds this value (default value infinity, i.e. never switch)
- `lp/threads` to change the number of threads used to solve the LP relaxation (default is 0: automatic)
- `misc/lexdualstalling` that turns on the lex dual algorithm if the separation process is stalling
- `misc/usevartable` and `misc/useconstable` which turns on/off the usage of hashtables mapping from
  variable/constraint names to the variables/constraints; when turned off, SCIPfindVar() and SCIPfindCons() may not be
  used; the hashtables can be turned off for subMIPs to improve the performance, default value TRUE
- `misc/usesmalltables` which results in using smaller tables for names, cliques and cuts and improves
  the performace for smaller instances, default value FALSE
- `misc/permutationseed` to change the permutation seed value for permuting the problem after the
  problem is transformed (-1 means no permutation)
- `reading/zplreader/usestartsol` which allows to switch ZIMPL start solutions off, default value TRUE

### Data structures

- implemented the data structure and events for global and local domain holes added and removed
- new data structures and methods to handle nonlinear expressions in NLPI ({type_, struct_, pub_}expression.{h,c}):
  nlpioracle can store and evaluate general NLPs now, nlpi_ipopt can solve general NLPs now

Testing
-------

- minor changes on several evaluation scripts (new statuses: better, solved, sollimit, gaplimit) and short-mode for cmpres.awk
- support for FreeBSD (32- and 64-bit) including minor changes in several scripts in the check-directory

Build system
------------

### Makefile

- added scripts check_*.sh, evalcheck_*.sh and check_*.awk for blis, glkp, gurobi and symphony (including targets in
  Makefile) and slightly modified scripts for cplex, cbc and mosek and cmpres-script
- added target `lintfiles` which allows to call flexelint with a list of file, for example, make lintfiles
  `FILES=src/scip/prop_vbounds.c`
- the NLP solver interfaces and expression interpreter are located in a separate library (libnlpi.*; similar to the lpi
  library) and is required to link against the SCIP library also projects that use SCIP via `make/make.project` need to
  change their Makefile (!!!): in the $(MAINFILE) target, add $(NLPILIBFILE) behind $(LPILIBFILE) in the dependencies
  and add $(LINKCXX_l)$(NLPILIB)$(LINKLIBSUFFIX) to the linker flags
- The additional NLPI library requires a change in the Makefile of SCIP's project:
  The $(MAINFILE) target now has $(NLPILIBFILE) as additional dependency and the linking
  command requires $(LINKCXX_l)$(NLPILIB)$(LINKLIBSUFFIX) as additional argument.
- A bug in the Makefiles of older versions of the SCIP examples may cause
  data loss. If you have a custom Makefile, please ensure that the target
  `clean` is changed as described here:
  http://scipopt.org/download/bugfixes/scip-1.2.0/make.txt.

Fixed bugs
----------

- fixed bug in conflict.c in the method conflictsetAddBound()
- fixed `bug` in projects Makefiles w.r.t. `make clean`
- fixed bug in rapid learning with wrong ordering of dual and primal bound update, primal bound is now updated inside
  rapid learning
- fixed potential bug in rapid learning with dual reductions
- fixed potential bug where SCIPselectSimpleValue() returns a value slightly outside of the given bounds due to rounding
  errors (probably cancelation in subtraction in SCIPfindSimpleRational), now use rounding control and check result
- fixed bug that SCIP could not be continued after it has been stopped due to a limit
- fixed bug in var.c: SCIPvarChgLbOriginal() and SCIPvarChgUbOriginal() cannot access original bounds if the variable is
  negated
- fixed potential bug with pseudo solution branching on free variables
- fixed bug with multiaggregations whose infimum and supremum are both infinite: in such a case multiaggregation is now
  forbidden
- fixed numerical issue with multiaggregations which are infinite in one direction: value of multiaggregated variable
  could have been larger then inifinity
- fixed bug w.r.t. of adding a variable bound variable to its self
- fixed bug concering the incorrect assumption that every solution computed in SCIPlpGetUnboundedSol() is integral (we
  will not branch but return `infeasible or unbounded` like in presolving)
- fixed bug while breaking an clique down to their impications (in SCIPcliquetableCleanup() in implics.c) where the
  variable was not of vartype `SCIP_VARTYPE_BINARY`, instead of adding an implication we add a variable bound
- fixed bug with debugging a solution: during restarts erroneously it was claimed that the primal solution is cut off

- Interface:
  - fixed bug w.r.t. ObjDialog and displaying the description of the dialog
  - fixed bug when aborting pricing with Ctrl-C

- LP:
  - fixed bug in scip.c w.r.t. to call of conflict analysis for LPs which reached the objective limit in case of diving
  - fixed bug with resolving LPs at infeasible root node
  - fixed bug in lp.c: in sumMIRRow() rowtoolong was not set correctly
  - fixed bug in lp.c w.r.t. objective limit reached and the chosen comparison (fixed buglist entry 40)
  - fixed bug in lp.c: if in SCIPlpSolveAndEval() the LP has to be solved from scratch due to numerical troubles, reset
    `SCIP_LPPARAM_FROMSCRATCH` to `FALSE` afterwards
  - fixed bug in lp.c SCIProwGetObjParallelism() due to a wrong parallelism value which arised from cancellations during
    calculation of squared euclidean norm of objective function vector of column variables
  - fixed bug in lp.c: SCIPlpGetUnboundedSol() did not ensure that unbounded solution lies withing the bounds of the
    variables
  - fixed bug in lp.c w.r.t. to the number of `active` pricer

- Solve:
  - fixed bug in solve.c where relaxation branching candidates were cleared, but the relaxation was still marked solved
    and not called again, furthermore, adjusted criterions for solving a relaxation again
  - fixed bugs in solve.c: even with LP solving disabled, the root LP was solved in case continous variables are
    contained; setting pricing/maxvars(root) to 1 resulted in not calling the pricers
  - fixed bug in solve.c: make sure SCIP terminates correctly also when a user interrupt or gap limit is reached, i.e.,
    avoid error `pricing was aborted, but no branching could be created!`

- Tree:
  - fixed bug in tree.c: if an explicit branching point is given, we may not recompute a better centering point
  - fixed bug in tree.c: propagate implications on multi-aggregated should not be performed

- Constraints:
  - corrected several asserts in linear and quadratic constraint handler concerning parsing of CIP format
  - fixed bug while deleting redundant variables, which have no influence on changing the feasibility of the linear
    constraints, we need to update the sides of the constraint at each step, bug number 51 in bugzilla
  - fixed bug in copy procedure of AND constraint handler, negated variables have been copied to their originals
  - fixed bug when deleting a constraint where the update was delayed and not processed yet (in cons.c)
  - fixed bug in cons_linear.c: binary variables should not be multi-aggregated
  - fixed bug in cons_quadratic.c: curvature of bivariate quadratic constraints was not detected correctly
  - fixed bug in cons_sos2.c: the branching position was sometimes mistakenly increased
  - fixed bug in propagation of cons_sos2.c: the node can be cut off at more places: the previous version was not
    sucessfull in this respect
  - fixed bug in cons_linear.c:applyFixings() which could lead to lhs/rhs smaller/larger than -/+infinity
  - fixed bug in cons_linear.c in detectRedundantConstraints() and corrected old bug fix in SCIProwCreate(): we want lhs
    <= rhs to be satisfied without numerical tolerances in order to avoid numerical problems in the LP solver

- Knapsack Constraint Handler:
  - fixed bug in cons_knapsack.c: mergeMultiples() now detects whether a node can be cut off
  - fixed bug in cons_knapsack.c w.r.t. to items with zero weight
  - fixed bug in cons_knapsack.c: In SCIPseparateRelaxedKnapsack() not all variables need to be active in deeper regions
    of the tree
  - fixed bug in cons_knapsack.c and sepa_clique.c: the assumption that implications are always nonredundant and contain
    only active variables is not correct anymore as the corresponing vbound might be missing because of numerics

- Separation and Cuts:
  - fixed bug in cutpool.c: the hashkey computation was not constant over time
  - fixed bug in cutpool.c: hashkey of a row changed during the solving process (if a row is made integral after creation,
    maxabsval can be invalid when adding it to the pool, but might be recomputed later on)
  - fixed bug in sepa_rapidlearning.c, stop processing if there are no binary variables left
  - fixed bug in sepa_rapidlearning.c, corrected computation of right dualbound
  - fixed bugs in sepa_zerohalf.c, e.g., handling of intscaling and substitution of variable bounds
  - fixed bug in sepastore.c in sepastoreApplyLb/Ub being to hard on feasibility decisions
  - fixed bug in sepa_flowcover.c: numerical issues while computing candidate set for lambda

- LP Interfaces:
  - fixed bug in SoPlex autopricing due to which autopricing had behaved like steepest edge pricing so far
  - fixed bug in lpi_clp.cpp: SCIPlpiChgBounds() checks if the column status exists in Clp before using it
  - fixed wrong assert in Cplex LPI: Due to numerical inaccuracies, a few pivots might be performed after refactorization
  - fixed bug concerning assert(!SCIPlpDivingObjChanged(lp)) which was caused by wrong infinity double parameters for
    cplex
  - fixed makefile system for `OSTYPE=darwin` w.r.t. to CPLEX as LP solver

- Presolving:
  - fixed bug in cons_setppc: aggregated variables were not correctly removed in presolving
  - fixed bug in presolving of linear constraint handler: in redundancy detection, two different numerical epsilons were used
  - fixed bug in presolving while not applying a bound change on a variable in a single-variable constraint (e.g. x1 =
    0.03) in cons_linear which is too small, that lead to another bound change in presol_trivial which is not allowed, so
    now this bound change will be forced
  - fixed SCIPvarIsTransformedOrigvar() in var.c (variables generated by presol_inttobinary returned false)
  - fixed bug w.r.t. an assert in presol_inttobinary.c; it was assumed that the aggregation which is performed there will
    never lead to an infeasibility, this is not true, see comment in presol_inttobinary.c
  - fixed bug in presol_trivial.c trying to fix continuous variables, now uses a less stricter comparison to fix variables
  - fixed bug in cons_bounddisjunction.c: presolve may have tried to tighten bounds on a multiaggregated variable (now
    upgrades to linear constraint)

- Reading, Writing and Messages:
  - fixed bug while trying to write a MIP where SCIP needs to flush the lp changes first
  - fixed potential resource leak when running out of memory while writing files

  - fixed bugs do to `HEUR_TIMING SCIP_HEURTIMING_AFTERPROPLOOP` which appeared during repropagation
  - fixed bug in trivial heuristic: the locking solution might have falsely initialized some values to zero
  - fixed bug in heur_oneopt.c w.r.t. to SCIPtrySol(); it is necessary that the bound of the solution is check otherwise,
    infeasible solution could be accepted as feasible
  - fixed bug in heur_trivial.c w.r.t. to debug messages after a solution was freed
  - fixed bug for `HEUR_TIMING SCIP_HEURTIMING_BEFOREPRESOL` and modifiable constraints
  - corrected wrong assert in DINS heuristic when called for an empty problem
  - fixed potential bug in OCTANE heuristic with nonbasic solutions

Miscellaneous
-------------

- As the interface contains several additional callback functions and
  parameters for plugins, some effort may be required to compile your
  own projects with SCIP 2.0. See also `Changes between version 1.2 and 2.0` in the doxygen
  documentation for additional information.

@page RN1_2 Release notes for SCIP 1.2

@section RN120 SCIP 1.2.0
*************************

Features
--------

- adjusted hard memory limit to (soft memory limit)*1.1 + 100mb in check.sh, checkcount.sh, check_cplex.sh,
  check_cluster.sh and check_cbc.sh
- new presolving step in cons_knapsack.c, same like `simplifyinequalities` in cons_linear.c
- now it's possible to write strings with more than `SCIP_MAXSTRLEN` amount of characters in all message.c functions
- the current/root lp can be marked to be no relaxation of the current/root problem
- added new preprocessing step (mergeMultiples) in cons_setppc.c where equal variables are merged
- Black-box lexicographic dual simplex algorithm; can now run lexicographical dual algorithm (parameter `lp/lexdualalgo`)

- Bounds:
  - SCIP now has `lazy bounds`, which are useful for column generation: see @ref PRICER_REMARKS `pricer remarks` for an explanation.
    Each variable has now two additional `SCIP_Real` parameter which define a lazy lower and upper bound; lazy means that
    there exists constraints which implies these (lazy) bounds. If the lazy lower or upper bound is greater or less than
    the local lower or upper bound, respectively, then the corresponding bound is not put into the LP. The bounds are set
    to minus and plus infinity per default which yields the same behavior as before. With the methods SCIPchgVarLbLazy()
    and SCIPchgVarUbLazy() these bounds can be set.  This is of interest if SCIP gets used as a branch-and-price
    framework. Attention! The lazy bounds need to be valid for each feasible LP solution. If the objective function
    implies bounds on the variables for each optimal LP solution, but these bounds may be violated for arbitrary LP
    solutions, these bounds must not be declared lazy!
  - interval arithmetic functions can work with unbounded intervals added new functions to allow more operations on
    intervals, including solving quadratic interval equations

- Branching:
  - extended hybrid relpscost branching rule by usage of the average length of conflicts a variable appears in
  - `early branching`-functionality added: in a branch-and-price code, the user can stop pricing at a node although there
    may exist variables with negative reduced costs. In this case, the lp-lowerbound will not be used. The pricer has,
    however, the option to return a lower bound. This can be useful for column generation.

- Constraints:
  - Copy constructors and i/o functionality for constraints: all linear type constraint handlers are able to copy
    constraints using the function SCIPgetConsCopy() in scip.h
  - the linear constraint handler is able to parse a string in CIP format and create a corresponding linear constraint
  - Constraint handler for indicator constraints and parsing them from *.lp and *.zpl files
  - the indicator constraint can now try to produce a feasible solution (via heur_trysol)
  - one can now write indicator constraints in LP-format
  - added constraint handler for quadratic constraints

- Cuts:
  - added new version of zerohalf cuts from Manuel Kutschka
  - added multi-commodity-flow cut separator

- Heuristics:
  - Heuristics which are applied before root LP
  - added heuristic that performs a local search in an NLP (takes only linear and quadratic constraints into account so far)
  - added heuristic that gets a solution from other components and tries it (heur_trysol.?)
  - new trivial heuristic: tries zero solution, lower and upper bound solution and some variable lock based fixing
  - added new timing point, `SCIP_HEURTIMING_DURINGPRICINGLOOP`, for calling heuristics; If this timing point is used the
    corresponding heuristics is called during the pricing loop of variables; we also added this timing point to
    heur_simplerounding.{h,c} which has the effect that a LP solution which satisfies all integrality conditions during
    the pricing loop is detected

- Interfaces:
  - added first version of an interface to NLP solvers (type_nlpi.h, struct_nlpi.h, nlpi.h, nlpi.c, nlpi_oracle.h, nlpi_oracle.c)
  - Preliminary support of non-convex MIQCPs: Constraint handler for quadratic constraints, NLP heuristic and
    Ipopt interface, see \ref cons_quadratic.h.
  - There are LP-interfaces to QSopt and Gurobi (rudimentary).

- Reader and Writer:
  - added reader and writer for FlatZinc models (reader_fzn.{c,h})
  - added writer for GAMS models (reader_gms.{c,h})

Performance improvements
------------------------

- Enhanced MCF cuts: stable version, used by default
- replaced some function calls in loop conditions
- in sepa_cmir.c, if mksetcoefs is invalid for delta=1 no other values of delta are tested anymore
- changed the timing of the feasibility pump in case of pricing
- removed changing of update rule to `ETA` from standard soplex update `Forrest-Tomlin` in lpi_spx.cpp
- improved memory usage in heur_octane.c
- improved reading time of opb-files, due to using a hashtable for all `and`-constraints
- improved performance of merging variables in mergeMultiples() in cons_knapsack.c
- improved performance in tightenWeightsLift() and SCIPseparateRelaxedKnapsack() in cons_knapsack.c, due to now
  sparse-cleaning `global` arrays instead of using BMSclearMemory... functions for cleaning local arrays each time
- improved performance in SCIPcliquelistRemoveFromCliques()
- improved performance in SCIPcalcCliquePartition()
- improved performance in SCIPvarGetActiveRepresentatives() in var.c

- Presolving:
  - improved pairwise presolving in cons_and.c due to using a hashtable
  - improved pairwise presolving in cons_xor.c due to using a hashtable

Interface changes
-----------------

- A significant change for C++ users is that all include files of SCIP
  automatically detect C++ mode, i.e., no `extern `C`` is needed anymore.
- Reader for Flatzinc and GAMS models

### New and changed callbacks

- The callback SCIP_DECL_PRICERREDCOST(x) in the \ref PRICER `pricers` has two new parameters:
  + A `result` pointer determines whether the pricer guarantees that there exist no more variables. This allows for early branching.
  + A pointer for providing a lower bound.

- The \ref CONS `constraint handlers` have two new callback methods (see type_cons.h for more details):
  + SCIP_DECL_CONSCOPY(x): this method can be used to copy a constraint.
  + SCIP_DECL_CONSPARSE(x): this method can be used to parse a constraint in CIP format.

### Deleted and changed API functions

- SCIPcalcMIR() in scip.h has two new parameter `mksetcoefsvalid` and `sol`. The parameter `mksetcoefsvalid` stores
  whether the coefficients of the mixed knapsack set (`mksetcoefs`) computed in SCIPlpCalcMIR() are valid. If the mixed
  knapsack constraint obtained after aggregating LP rows is empty or contains too many nonzero elements the generation of the
  c-MIR cut is aborted in SCIPlpCalcMIR() and `mksetcoefs` is not valid. The input parameter `sol` can be used to separate a
  solution different from the LP solution.
- new parameter `set` in SCIPconsSetInitial().
- some interval arithmetic method take an additional argument to denote which value stands for infinity in an interval

- Variables:
  - SCIPgetVarClosestVlb() and SCIPgetVarClosestVub() in scip.h have a new parameter `sol`. It can be used to obtain the closest
    variable bound w.r.t. a solution different from the LP solution.
  - new parameters `lowerbound` and `result` in type_pricer.h: lowerbound can save a lower bound computed by the pricer,
    result indicates whether the pricer guarantees that there exist no more variables if no variable was found

### New API functions

- new methods to deactivate a pricer SCIPdeactivatePricer() in scip.c
- new methods in pub_misc.h/misc.c to access hash map lists and elements of a hash map list and to clear all entries in a hash map
- SCIPsetProbName() to set problem name in scip.h/c (SCIPprobSetName() in prob.h/c)

- Objective:
  - SCIPgetTransObjscale() and SCIPgetTransObjoffset() in scip.c
  - SCIPaddObjoffset() in scip.h; sets offset of objective function
  - SCIPgetOrigObjoffset() in scip.h; returns the objective offset of the original problem
  - SCIPgetOrigObjscale() in scip.h; returns the objective scale of the original problem

- Constraints:
  - detectRedundantConstraints() in cons_xor.c and necessary hash-functions for fast pairwise presolving
  - SCIPparseCons() in scip.h; parses constraint information (in cip format) out of a string
  - SCIPgetConsCopy() in scip.h; which copies a constraint of the source SCIP

- Relaxation:
  - SCIPisLPRelax() and SCIPisRootLPRelax() in scip.c and scip.h returning whether the current/root LP is a
    relaxation of the current/root problem and thus defines a valid lower bound
  - SCIPlpSetIsRelax() and SCIPlpSetRootLPIsRelax() in lp.c and lp.h to set the information, whether the lp is a valid relaxation;
    this information is per default set to true and constraint be used. The aggregated version has only 2 linear constraints the
    default linearization has nvars + 1

- Sort:
  - extended the sort template functions in sorttpl.c with a `five` array; now it possible to used this template to sort
    up to five arrays
  - new interface methods SCIPcolSort(), SCIProwSort(), SCIPcolGetIndex()
  - added SCIPsortPtrPtrLongInt() and corresponding sorting/inserting/deleting methods in pub_misc.h and necessary defines
    in misc.c

- Variables:
  - SCIPprintNodeRootPath() in scip.h This method prints all branching decisions on variables from the root to the given node
  - SCIPnodeGetParentBranchings(), SCIPnodeGetAncestorBranchings(), SCIPnodeGetAncestorBranchingPath(); These methods return
    the set of variable branchings that were performed in the parent node / all ancestor nodes to create a given node
  - SCIPchgVarLbLazy() and SCIPchgVarUbLazy() in scip.h; These methods can be used to change the lazy lower or
    upper bound of a variable; This might has the consequences that the bounds of the corresponding variable is not in
    LP. This is the case if the lazy lower or upper bound is greater or less than the local lower or upper bound, respectively
  - SCIPvarGetLbLazy() and SCIPvarGetUbLazy() in pub_var.h; These methods return the lazy lower or upper bound, respectively
  - SCIPvarCompareActiveAndNegated() and SCIPvarCompActiveAndNegated() in pub_var.h for comparing variables
    negated, active or fixed the same way
  - SCIPparseVars() in scip.h; parses variable information (in cip format) out of a string
  - SCIPgetNFixedonesSetppc() and SCIPgetNFixedzerosSetppc() in cons_setppc.{h,c}; these methods returns
    current (local) number of variables fixed to one/zero in the given setppc constraint
  - SCIPgetVarConflictlengthScore(), SCIPgetVarAvgConflictlength(), SCIPgetAvgConflictlengthScore() and their pendants for the current run
  - added function SCIPvarsGetProbvarBinary() in pub_var.h; gets active, fixed, or multi-aggregated problem variables of
    binary variables and corresponding negated status

Fixed bugs
----------

- fixed wrong use of pointer in lp.c
- fixed bug with array dimension not reset to zero when array is freed in pseudoobj propagator
- fixed bug with enforcement of pseudo solutions: if pseudo solution is choosen because LP hit a limit, it has to be
  enforced in any case
- fixed potential bug in coloring example: SCIPcreateChild() is now given an estimate in terms of the transformed
  problem by SCIPgetLocalTransEstimate(), no longer the estimated original problem value. Also clarified this in the
  comments for SCIPcreateChild()
- fixed compiler warning `warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules` which resuts in
  scip-crashes with gcc version 4.4.0
- adjusted assert in var.c
- fixed bug in SCIPvarGetActiveRepresentatives() in var.c
- fixed bug with objective limit in lp.c: previously the infinity value of SCIP was used as default - now the value of
  LPI is used. In the earlier version in many cases the problems where never infeasible.
- added and adjusted some asserts, initialized some values
- increased the numerical stability of coefficient tightening for Big M formulations
- fixed bug with incorrect pseudo activities when objective of a variable switches sign in linear constraint handler
- fixed bug with empty constraints in several writing routines
- fixed `GGT-Kaibel-Bug` in var.c, prop_pseudoobj.c and cons_varbound.c that occurred while computing new values using
  infinity values

- Bounds:
  - fixed bug in coefficient tightening with infinite bounds
  - fixed bug in solve.c: in case lowerbound >= upperbound, SCIPsolveIsStopped() returned `SCIP_STATUS_GAPLIMIT`

- Nodes:
  - fixed bug in SCIPsolveNode() concerning the case that the time limit was hit while solving the LP relaxation of a
    subproblem which is already an LP (branching on pseudo solution is not possible)
  - fixed bug in vbc tools concerning of marking probing nodes
  - fixed bug in solve.c with nodes which are marked to be repropagated while enforcement

- Variables:
  - fixed possible infinite loop while multiaggregating a variable in var.c
  - fixed bug in SCIPgetSolVals() similar to SCIPgetSolVal(): try to get original variables of transformed ones if the
    solution lives in original space

- Pricing:
  - fixed potential bug: restarts are now only done if no active pricers exist
  - fixed bug in SCIPlpSolveAndEval(): if fastmip and pricers enabled and objlimit was reached but CPLEX did not perform
    the final pivot step in order to exceed the objlimit, do one additional simplex step with pricing strategy steepest
    edge, if this doesn't suffice, turn off fastmip temporarily and solve again. Also consider solstat of the new
    solution.
  - fixed bug with invalid pseudo solution (lower bound was always >= 0) when using pricing.
  - fixed bug in SCIPfreeProb() in scip.c: all pricers are deactivated now

- Memory:
  - now frees debug memory
  - fixed bug with exponential complexity for reallocating memory in SCIPvarGetActiveRepresentatives() in var.c
  - fixed casting of void* pointers in memory.h for C++, adjusted the same for C in memory.h and due to that adjusted all
    header files(set whole files in extern `C`) and cpp-files(removed unnecessary extern `C` lines)
  - removed memory leak in connection with freeing branch and bound nodes: focusnode was not freed if both children could
    be cut off due to bounding

- Reading and Writing:
  - corrected bug in reader_lp.c: earlier read bounds were thrown away (implementation was not conforming to standard)
  - fixed bug in reader_lp.c with respect to constraint and variable names which start with two or more dots `..`

  - fixed bug in case of reading an objective function in opb format with multiple occurrences of the same variable
  - fixed bug in case of reading an objective function in lp format with multiple occurrences of the same variable
  - fixed a wrong fix of a reading bug, which was in reality a writing bug in MPS format; integer variables in mps format
    without bounds are binary variables, if the bound of an integer variable is infinity you have to write this bound

- Separation:
  - fixed bug in sepa_cmir.c, sepa_mcf.c and sepa_flowcover.c: sol different to LP solution is now separated
  - corrected two asserts in sepa_redcost.c (reduced costs can be negative for fixed variables: qsopt uses this)
  - fixed bug in sepa_zerohalf.c; replacement of own sorting functions by template functions was incorrect
  - fixed bug in var.c, cons_knapsack.c and sepa_flowcover.c: variable bounds corresponding to implication are not
    generated if coefficient is large, variable bounds with large coefficients are ignored for construction of knapsack
    and snf relaxations
  - fixed bug in sepa_impliedbound.c concerning redundant implications

- Cuts:
  - fixed bug in sepa_cmir.c concerning uninitialized mksetcoefs (if MIR-cut generation is aborted because the aggregated
    constraint is empty or contains too many nonzero elements mksetcoefs is invalid)
  - interrupts optimization process if a node will be cutoff, which allows the solution
  - fixed bug in sepa_impliedbounds.c and sepa_intobj.c: if separating a sol, this sol is now also given to SCIPaddCut()
    so that the efficacy of the cut is now computed correctly
  - fixed bug in solve.c caused by integer overflow due to setting the number of cuts to INT_MAX

- Presolving:
  - fixed wrong result in check.awk, if infeasible problems are stopped in presolving
  - fixed exponential calculation of solution values during check of original solution, therefore changed
    SCIPvarGetActiveRepresentatives() in var.c and flattened all multiaggregated vars at the end of presolving in
    exitPresolve()
  - fixed bug with wrong abort criterion in presolving
  - fixed bug in presol.c caused by not reseting presolver-wasdelayed status

  - fixed memory error in cons_countsols.c
  - fixed assert in cons_and.c method SCIP_DECL_CONSINITSOL(consInitsolAnd)

- Linear Constraint Handler:
  - fixed infinity loop in simplify inequalities in cons_linear.c
  - fixed bug in cons_linear.c: do not select variable as slack variable for multiaggregation in convertLongEquality if it
    has been marked as not-multiaggregable
  - fixed bug in cons_linear.c: also do not multiaggregate variables in dual preproccessing if it has been marked as
    not-multiaggregable
  - fixed bug in cons_linear.c: slight decrease of epsilon in order to make sure that scaled coefficients are really
    integral
  - fixed bug in chgRhs() and chgLhs() of cons_linear.c: after changing lhs or rhs of a constraints lhs <= rhs has to be
    satisfied without numerical tolerances

- Heuristics:
  - added and changed some SCIPisStopped() calls in several heuristics
  - fixed bug in oneopt heuritic with start solution which has become infeasible due to global bound changes

- Interfaces:
  - corrected several bugs in the Clp-interface concerning return values
  - fixed potential interface bug: time limits of 0.0 are not anymore passed to the LP solver, which may have caused
    errors

@section RN110 SCIP 1.1.0
*************************

Features
--------

- SCIP can now count integer feasible solutions for IPs/CIPs (without continuous variables) (see SCIPcount())
- check.awk now uses TeX package supertabular which supports automatic pagebreak
- struct `SCIP_Stat` has now two additional variables: `nprobboundchgs`, `nprobholechgs`; these are used to fix the domain
  reduction counts in sepa.c, cons.c, branch.c and prop.c; this means, that now the domain reduction counts are reduced
  by those domain reduceds which are preformed during probing
- added capabilities to flatten the (multi)-aggregation graph of variables
- pseudoobj propagator now also propagates the global lower (dual) bound
- new heuristic DINS (distance induced neighborhood search by Ghosh)

- Output:
  - SCIP can now output a picture of the constraint matrix in PPM format.
  - output of real values is now done with 15 digits after the decimal point
  - Extended the capabilities of SCIP to output problems in different formats (LP, MPS, CIP, ...). You can output the original and
    transformed problem. Furthermore, generic names can be given to the variables and constraints.
  - The feasibility test for solutions at the end of the execution now outputs more useful information.
    This made some changes in the interface of constraint handlers necessary.

- Presolving:
  - added predefined settings file presolving/aggressive.set
  - new presolver boundshift (presol_boundshift.{c,h}); this presolver is currently turned off with default parameter setting

- Constraints:
  - linear constraint handler now detects continuous variables that are implicit integer in dual presolve
  - replaced some old sorting methods in cons_knapsack.c, heur_octane.c, sepa_flowcover.c and presol_probing.c through
    SCIPsort...() interfaces, adjusted misc.{c,h} and pub_misc.h for these changes
  - cons_countsols.c is now able to store the collected solution if required
  - added first version of SOS type 1 constraint handler (cons_sos1.{c,h})
  - added first version of SOS type 2 constraint handler (cons_sos2.{c,h})
  - less aggressive scaling in linear constraint handler presolve to improve numerics
  - added first version of constraint handler cons_countsols.{c,h}

- Reader:

  - added reader for pseudo-Boolean problems (reader_opb.{c,h})
  - the ZPL reader is now able to pass a starting solution to SCIP
  - the MPS reader is now able to write a problem in MPS format
  - the ZIMPL reader now understands SOS type 1 and 2 constraints
  - the LP reader reads SOS constraints of type 1 and 2
  - the MPS reader reads the SOS section (but cannot yet handle `MARKERS`)

- LPI:
  - The SoPlex LPI can now write basis files.
  - revised lpi_clp.cpp (many small changes, in particular writing and reading of bases)
  - added FASTMIP settings in lpi_clp.cpp that try to improve the performance of Clp as much as possible

- Cuts and Separation:
  - the c-MIR separator now also tries to get rid of implicit integer variables by aggregation
  - allow cut selection based on support of inequality in orthogonality computation
  - disabled zerohalf cuts by default
  - adjusted all predefined settings files, e.g., `settings/cuts/fast.set`, such that they are consistent wrt removed,
    added and changed parameter values of scip.
  - New cutting plane separator MCF (beta version).
  - new separator sepa_zerohalf.{c,h}; separates {0,1/2}-Cuts according to Caprara and Fischetti

Performance improvements
------------------------

- heavily decreased the usage of SCIPisStopped(), which costs system time
- small performance improvement of c-MIR aggregation heuristic
- reworked strong branching in lpi_clp.cpp (scaling works now, bounds can be trusted)

- Constraints:
  - The preprocessing has been revised. It now applies bound computations in a numerically more stable way. The pairwise
    comparison of linear, logicor, and setppc constraints has been improved.
  - better branching in SOS1/SOS2 constraints
  - fixed performance bug with large number of unnamed constraints that will kill the name hash table (now, unnamed
    constraints are not put into the hash table)

- Cuts and Separation:
  - improved the performance of SCIPcalcMIR() and SCIPcalcStrongCG() by exploiting sparsity
  - improved performance of SCIPvarGetLPSol(), which affects many parts of the code, in particular Gomory and strong CG cuts
  - do not calculate MIR and StrongCG cut aggregations if number of nonzeros in aggregated row is too large

- Presolving:
  - improved pairwise presolving in cons_linear.c: reduced cache misses, reduced number of SCIPisStopped() calls and
    included detecting of redundant constraints with hash table in advance
  - tighter memory limits in knapsack presolve lifting procedure to avoid overly expensive presolving
  - included detecting of redundant constraints with hash table in advance in cons_logicor.c and limit other pairwise
    presolving
  - included detecting of redundant constraints with hash table in advance in cons_setppc.c and limit other pairwise
    presolving
  - limit pairwise presolving in cons_linear.c

Examples and applications
-------------------------

- Added an example for the graph coloring problem in `examples/Coloring`, showing the usage of column generation.
- added SOS2 example
- extended TSP example

Interface changes
-----------------

### New and changed callbacks

- New callback method SCIP_DECL_READERWRITE(x) in type_reader.h; this method is called to write a problem to file
  stream in the format the reader stands for; useful for writing the transformed problem in LP or MPS format. Hence,
  also SCIPincludeReader() has changed.
- The callback \ref CONSCHECK (SCIP_DECL_CONSCHECK()) in the constraint handlers now has a new parameter `printreason` that tells
  a constraint handler to output the reason for a possible infeasibility of the solution to be checked using
  SCIPinfoMessage(). Have a look at one of the constraint handlers implemented in SCIP to see how it works. This
  methodology makes it possible to output the reason of a violation in human readable form, for instance, for the check
  at the end of a SCIP run, where the obtained best solution is checked against the original formulation.\n This change
  often has little effect on C-implementations, since this parameter can be safely ignored with respect to the
  correctness of the code. The corresponding C++ method scip::ObjConshdlr::scip_check(), however, has to be extended
  and will not compile otherwise.
- added new LPI pricing option `SCIP_PRICING_LPIDEFAULT`, such that every LP interface can set the default pricing
  strategy on its own (`auto` is not useful for this, because for CPLEX, for example, SCIP seems to be worse with `auto`
  then with `steepest edge`)
- Added user pointer to callback methods of hash table, see pub_misc.h.

### Deleted and changed API functions

- SCIPgetVarRedcost() now returns 0 for variables that have been aggregated out or removed in presolving.
  reduced cost in case of infeasible LPs)
- new parameter `maxfrac` for SCIPcalcStrongCG()
- new parameter `maxmksetcoefs` for SCIPcalcMIR() and SCIPcalcStrongCG() methods
- new parameter `conshdlrname` in SCIPincludeLinconsUpgrade()

- Problem:
  - new parameters `extension` in SCIPreadProb() defining a desired file format or `NULL` if file extension should be use
  - New parameters `extension` and `genericnames` in SCIPprintTransProblem(), SCIPprintOrigProblem(),
    SCIPwriteOrigProblem(), and SCIPwriteTransProblem() defining the requested format or `NULL` for default CIP format
    and using generic names for the variables and constraints. Examples are
    - SCIPprintTransProblem(scip, NULL, NULL, TRUE) displays the transformed problem in CIP format with
      generic variables and constraint names
    - SCIPprintOrigProblem(scip, NULL, `lp`, FALSE) displays the original problem in LP format with
      original variables and constraint names.

- Sorting:
  - expand sorttpl.c by some parameters
  - changed some names for sorting methods
  - replaced sorting methods SCIPbsort...() by faster (quicksort/shellsort) algorithms SCIPsort...() Note that the order
    of the parameters has been changed to simplify the template code in sorttpl.c!

- Checking:
  - SCIPcheckSolOrig() is restructured. The last two parameters have changed. They are now bools indicating
    whether the reason for the violation should be printed to the standard output and whether all violations should be
    printed. This reflects the changes in the constraint handlers above, which allow the automation of the feasibility
    test. The pointers to store the constraint handler or constraint are not needed anymore.
  - the parameter list of the method SCIPcheckCons() (scip.h) has changed; the new advatage is, that SCIP can print the
    reason for the violation of a constraint as for as the constraint handler supports that
  - the parameter list of the method scip_check() (objconshdlr.h) has an additional parameter `printreason` see for
    explanation the previous point

### New API functions

- LPI now has a function SCIPlpiGetSolverPointer() that returns a solver dependent pointer. This can be used to directly
  access the LP solver.  This should, of course, only be used by people that know exactly what they are doing.
- added capabilities to avoid multi-aggregation of a single variable by setting a corresponding flag (SCIPmarkDoNotMultaggrVar())
- SCIPgetProbvarLinearSum()

- SCIPcreateRootDialog() (in dialog_default.h) which creates a root dialog
- SCIPgetVectorEfficacyNorm()
- SCIPseparateRelaxedKnapsack() in cons_knapsack.h
- SCIPgetCutoffdepth() which returns the depth of first node in active path that is marked being cutoff
- SCIPflattenVarAggregationGraph()
- SCIPclockGetLastTime()

- SCIPgetRepropdepth() to get the depth of first node in active path that has to be propagated again
- SCIPmajorVersion(), SCIPminorVersion() and SCIPtechVersion() returning the corresponding version

- Read, Write and Print:
  - SCIPprintSysError() which encapsulates the strerror_r calls, the NO_STRERROR_R flag switches between the use
    of strerror_r and strerror inside
  - SCIPsnprintf() safe version of snprintf (and sprintf)
  - SCIPreaderCanRead() and SCIPreaderCanWrite() in pub_reader.h, these return TRUE if the corresponding
    reader is capable to read or write, respectively
  - SCIPwriteOrigProblem(), e.g., SCIPwriteOrigProblem(scip, `orig.lp`, NULL, FALSE) prints the original
    problem in LP format in the file `orig.lp`
  - SCIPwriteTransProblem(), e.g., SCIPwriteTransProblem(scip, NULL, NULL, FALSE) displays the transformed problem in CIP format

- Heuristics:
  - SCIPcutGenerationHeuristicCmir() in sepa_cmir.h
  - SCIPheurGetTimingmask() and SCIPheurSetTimingmask()

- Sorting:
  - added some downwards-sorting methods
  - SCIPbsortInd()
  - SCIPsortedvecInsert...(), SCIPsortedvecInsertDown...(), SCIPsortedvecDelPos...(),
    SCIPsortedvecDelPosDown...(), SCIPsortedvecFind...() and SCIPsortedvecFindDown...() to manage sorted vectors or
    groups of vectors of various data types that are sorted w.r.t. the first vector

### Command line interface

- advanced reading and writing dialog in interactive shell

### Interfaces to external software

- Many changes in the SoPlex interface: The current one is tailored towards SoPlex 1.4 (aka 1.3.3). All SoPlex functions
  (where applicable) should now have an exception handling. The Bugfix for adding columns has been moved to SoPlex.  One
  can use ROW representation. Reading/writing of a basis has been implemented.

### Changed parameters

- changed default frequency parameters for RINS, Local Branching, Crossover and Mutation heuristic This should not
  change the performance but happened just for consistency reasons

Fixed bugs
----------

- fixed CTRL-C if NO_SIGACTION is set (e.g., for MinGW)
- added checks whether a plugin (handler) has already been included to avoid later complications e.g. with parameters.
- fixed bug with wrong `tightened` return value of some of the change bounds methods

- replaced calls to perror() by SCIP error message using strerror(errno); this avoids problems with the error output
  stream
- fixed bug in method SCIPgetProbvarLinearSum()
- fixed bug with errors occurring in sub-MIPs. Search is only aborted in dbg mode, in opt mode a warning will be printed
- fixed bug in tclique-graph datastructure concerning insertion of edges into nonempty graph

    only work for a > 0).
  - avoiding aggregation that removes information about implicitly integer variables (removes bug)
  - fixed bug with exponential running times due to complicated recursive multi-aggregation
  - corrected bug in var.c occuring during applying boundchanges in varUpdateAggregationBounds method

- Constraints:
  - fixed bug that a missing CONSTRANS in constraint handler leads to `NULL` pointer as constraint data for the copied
    constraints instead of pointer copies of the consdata (as explained in the constraint handler `HowTo`)
  - fixed bugs in second part of consdataTightenCoefs(): Removed min/maxleftactisinfinity (definition was not correct),
    fixed calculation of min/maxleftactivity and removed asserts concerning whether all redundant vars were deleted (led
    to different behavior in debug and opt mod).
  - fixed typo in documentation: default value for `dynamic` parameter is FALSE for all constraint handlers!
  - fixed bug in preprocessing of SOS2 constraints (cons_sos2.c)
  - fixed bug in cons_countsols.c concerning variable locking
  - fixed bug in cons_varbounds.c, concerning SCIPaddVarVlb() and SCIPaddVarVub()

  - removed bug for rhs/lhs greater than (-)infinity, cons_linear.c
  - removed bug caused by hashcomparison for non-sorted constraints, cons_linear.c
  - fixed bugs with wrong presolving due to cancellation in (res-)activities in cons_linear.c
  - removed BOUNDSCALETOL adjustment in cons_linear.c. This fixes bug with slightly infeasible variable fixings in
    presolving; reliable resactivities should make the BOUNDSCALETOL relaxation redundant.
  - removed `epsilontic` bug in cons_linear.c due to adjusting left/right hand side in applyfixing
  - fixed bug with multi-aggregated variables in cons_logicor: instead of fixing them, a linear constraint will be created
  - corrected bug in cons_linear.c:applyFixings() [if variable was fixed to infinity the rhs/lhs were wrong]
  - fixed bugs in pairwise presolving of cons_linear.c concerning deletion of upgraded constraints and inconsistent update

  - corrected bug in SCIPlpGetState() if the LP is empty
  - fixed bug in SCIPlpSolveAndEval(): added extra simplex step if objlimit reached, fastmip and pricers enabled in order
    to get dual solution for pricing.
  - weakened two too strong asserts in lp.c concerning the LP result OBJLIMIT
  - fixed bug in SCIPlpSolveAndEval(): allow more than one extra simplex step for getting an objlimit exceeding solution
    with fastmip

- Memory:
  - corrected invalid memory access in tcliqueIsEdge: added check whether node1 has no neighbors (tclique_graph.c)
  - removed memory leak detected with the help of coverity in dialog.c
  - fixed bug with memory reallocation in SCIPgetProbvarLinearSum()
  - tried to fix memory leak in dialog.c occuring from different versions of the readline/history libraries
  - removed possible memory leak in objdialog.cpp

- Numerical:
  - fixed numerical issue in linear constraint propagation: need slightly more aggressive tightening such that probing
    does not choose a wrong value for fixing inside an epsilon interval
  - fixed numerical bug in dual presolving of linear constraint handler
  - avoid fixing variables to infinity in order to get rid of numerical inconsistencies in the original model

- Objective:
  - added handling of the case of roundable variables with 0 objective in presol_dualfix.c
  - fixed bug with writing the MIP relaxation to a file concerning the objective function; in case the original objective
    function is requested, the transformed objective function gets re-transformed (scaling, offset)
  - fixed bug with wrong objective sense output for transformed problem. The transformed problem is always a minimization
    problem!
  - fixed bug with objective scaling after restart

- Reading:
  - fixed bug with reading empty lines in TSP example
  - fixed bug with non-conformal parameter name in reader_ppm
  - fixed infinite loop in LP file reader if a line exceeds the character limit

  - fixed some `SCIP_RETCODE` bugs in reader_fix.c, reader_sol.c, reader_sos.c and reader_zpl.c
  - fixed docu in type_reader.h
  - fixed bug with multi-aggregated variables which are de facto aggregated or fixed after flattening the aggregation tree
  - fixed bug with bound changes of variables in modifiable constraints during full dual presolving of linear conshdlr
  - increased compiler compatibility for C++ wrapper classed by adding extern `C` in obj*.cpp files and changing strlen
    calls to std::strlen

- Separation:
  - corrected bug in priceAndCutLoop(): separation was aborted if domain reduction was applied
  - fixed bug in sepa_mir.c: size of testeddeltas-array was too small
  - corrected imlementation of SCIPlpiGetBasisInd() in lpi_clp.cpp (this fixes the bug that almost no Gomory cuts are
    found with Clp).

- Sorting:
  - fixed bugs in sorttpl.c: fixed wrong arraysize in shellsort; in case an has at most one element, then no sorting is
    applied
  - fixed wrong if condition for function call in sorttpl.c
  - fixed obvious bug in linear constraint data sorting. Most part of the code assumed pure index sorting, but in fact, it
    was sorted by variable type as first criterion and index as second criterion.

  `disp sol var -`, `set log cplex.log` in Cplex can now be read
- new dummy LP interface `lpi_none.c`; useful for running SCIP without a LP solver

- Presolver:
  - modified probing presolver to do multiple cycles if called in subsequent runs
  - changed sort algorithm in probing presolver

- Node selection:
  - new node selection rule `estimate` (best estimate search)
  - new node selection rule `hybridestim`

- Documentation:
  - the doxygen documentation now has HowTo's for all plugin types
  - the doxygen documentation now contains a FAQ
  - the documentation has now a TAB Modules; there you can find list of available constraint handles, presolvers,
    propagators, lpi interfaces, file readers and so on

- Time:
  - time limit is now forwarded to lp solving algorithm
  - presolving, cut separation, primal heuristics and strong branching now better respect time limit

- Heuristics:
  - best estimate search is now used in all large neighborhood search heuristics

Performance improvements
------------------------

- greatly improved performance of LP file reader by replacing string copies with pointer copies
- removed performance bottleneck with non-bfs based node selectors and large leaf queues at the cost of a small memory
  overhead (2 ints per node in the leaf queue); this improves performance quite a bit on instances that take a large
  number of branching nodes
- improved performance of linear constraint propagation by delaying some floor/ceil calculations
- improved performance of clique cut separator

Interface changes
-----------------

### New and changed callbacks

- calling SCIPwriteLP() is now possible in Solved Stage
- SCIPwrite{LP,MIP} may no longer be called after solving, since the LP data structures may not be valid
- All functions SCIP<datatype>Param() got a new parameter `isadvanced`.
  This does not influence the performance of SCIP, but the position of the parameter in the settings menu.
  Hence, if you do not care about this, you can assign any value to it.
  You should add the corresponding flag to the SCIP<datatype>Param() calls in your own source code.

- added option to write node LP and MIP relaxations to LP file from interactive shell

### Changed parameters

- parameters are now separated into basic and advanced, the latter ones have been moved to extra submenus

  version number that point to the latest compiled version.)
- added .exe extension to binaries of MinGW
- removed the `.static` extension associated to the LINK variable from the Makefile system (If you want to build

- Defaults and Options:
  - modified the default LP solver to be SoPlex instead of CPLEX

@page RN0_9 Release notes for SCIP 0.9

@section RN090 SCIP 0.9.0
*************************

Features
--------

- the EXITSOL callback of the plugins is now called before the LP and the global cut pool are freed

- Primal Heuristics:
  - new primal heuristics `rens`, `mutation` and `veclendiving`
  - primal heuristics that run before the node is solved now know already whether the LP will be solved at the current
    node or not

- Heuristics:
  - new heuristic `intshifting` (ID character `i`)
  - in the root node of the very first run, heuristics with timing `AFTERNODELPNODE`, `AFTERLPPLUNGE`, `AFTERPSEUDONODE`, and
    `AFTERPSEUDOPLUNGE` are now called before the enforcement of the constraint handlers, in particular before the branching
    rules; in this way, the branching rule can already benefit from a tighter primal bound
  - if a heuristic found a better solution after the LP loop (and in particular the `AFTERNODE` heuristics in the root node
    of the very first run, see above), domain propagation and LP solving is triggered again; this allows for additional
    reduced cost tightening and other dual propagations
  - slightly modified `crossover` and `rins` heuristics
  - improved performance of intdiving heuristic
  - improved heuristic `octane` and `shifting`
  - slightly modified rens and localbranching heuristics
  - modified guided diving heuristic such that it equals the original version of the heuristic (i.e., round in direction of the
    current incumbent solution instead of the average of all primal feasible solutions)
  - ID character for intdiving heuristic is now `I`

- Separation and Cuts:
  - c-MIR cuts try now to scale the cut to integral values; however, cuts are still generated if this fails
  - hard-coded relative objective gain to consider a separation loop to be stalling is now changed from 1e-3 to 1e-4,
    which means that separation is not aborted as early as before
  - modified c-MIR cut separator to more closely resemble the original version of Marchand and Wolsey

- Constraint:
  - possibility of SAT-like restarts after a number of conflict constraints have been found
  - improved presolving of and, or and xor constraints
  - implemented additional dual presolving in linear constraint handler
  - slightly modified presolving of varbound constraint handler

Interface changes
-----------------

### New and changed callbacks

- new parameter `solinfeasible` for constraint handler callback methods `ENFOLP`  and `ENFOPS`
- replaced callback parameter `inlploop` and `inplunging` by `heurtiming` in `SCIP_DECL_HEUREXEC`
- slightly changed the meaning of the result codes returned by external relaxators: if they modify the LP or tighten
  bounds of variables, they are not automatically be called again (it is assumed that they already made use of these
  changes). They are only called again, if they returned `SCIP_SUSPENDED` or if some other plugin modified the LP.

### Deleted and changed API functions

- new parameter `escapecommand` for SCIPdialoghdlrAddHistory()
- removed method SCIPgetVarData(); use SCIPvarGetData() from pub_var.h instead
- new calls SCIPgetLPBInvCol() and SCIPgetLPBInvACol() to access the basis inverse and simplex tableau columnwise
- new parameter `ndomredsfound` of SCIPpropagateProbing()
- new parameters `fixintegralrhs`, `maxfrac`, `mksetcoefs` and `fracnotinrange` in SCIPcalcMIR()
- modified SCIPfixVar() such that in problem creation stage it will change the bounds as requested even if the fixing
  value is outside of the current bounds
- replaced parameters `pseudonodes`, `duringplunging`, `duringlploop` and `afternode` by `timingmask` in
  SCIPincludeHeur() and constructor of ObjHeur() class use the following table to translate old settings into the new
  timingmask:

| PSEUDONODES | DURINGPLUNGING | DURINGLPLOOP | AFTERNODE | timingmask                                                    |

- Constraints:
  - renamed all occurences of `removeable` by the correct English word `removable`: SCIPconsIsRemovable(),
    SCIPsetConsRemovable(), SCIPvarIsRemovable(), SCIPcolIsRemovable(), SCIProwIsRemovable()
  - new parameter `sticktonode` in SCIPcreateCons(), SCIPcreateConsAnd(), SCIPcreateConsBounddisjunction(),
    SCIPcreateConsKnapsack(), SCIPcreateConsLinear(), SCIPcreateConsLogicor(), SCIPcreateConsOr(),
    SCIPcreateConsVarbound(), SCIPcreateConsXor(), SCIPcreateConsSetpart(), SCIPcreateConsSetpack(),
    SCIPcreateConsSetcover(): usually, you should set this to FALSE; if you want to add constraints as node markers with
    node data and, e.g., use the `activate` and `deactivate` callbacks to get informed about the activation and
    deactivation of the node, you should set this flag to TRUE in order to make sure, that the constraint will always be
    associated to the node and not moved to a more global node if this would be possible
  - slightly changed semantics of SCIPaddConsNode() and SCIPaddConsLocal(), such that a constraint which is added to the
    root node now enters the global problem (and is still existing after a restart)

### New API functions

- SCIPgetVerbLevel()
- SCIPescapeString()
- SCIPgetGlobalCutpool(), SCIPgetPoolCuts(), SCIPcutpoolGetCuts(), SCIPcutGetRow() and SCIPcutGetAge()
- SCIPconsGetNLocksPos() and SCIPconsGetNLocksNeg()

### Command line interface

- command shell now understands escape characters `\``,`'` and `\` which makes it possible to read in files with spaces in the
  name

### Interfaces to external software

- updated XPress interface to XPress-MP 17 (contributed by Michael Perregaard)

### Changed parameters

- changed default value of `heuristics/octane/usediffray` to FALSE
- removed parameter `heuristics/octane/usediffbwray`
- renamed parameter `heuristics/octane/useavgray` to `heuristics/octane/useavgnbray`
- changed default value of `heuristics/rens/binarybounds` to TRUE
- changed default value of `heuristics/octane/freq` to -1 in order to deactivate Octane
- parameter `heuristics/feaspump/maxsols` is now strict, i.e., if n solutions were already found, the feasibility pump
  starts to work only if `maxsols <= n`, instead of `maxsols < n`

### New parameters

- `conflict/restartnum` and `conflict/restartfac`
- `heuristics/octane/useavgray`
- `heuristics/octane/useavgwgtray`
- `limits/absgap` to define an absolute gap limit
- `separating/cmir/aggrtol`
- `separating/cmir/densityscore`
- `separating/cmir/fixintegralrhs`
- `separating/maxruns`
- `presolving/restartminred` which forbids another restart if the last one was not successful enough
- `propagating/abortoncutoff`
- `reading/zplreader/changedir` to control behavior of path switching of ZIMPL file reader
- `reading/zplreader/parameters` to pass additional parameters to ZIMPL

Build system
------------

### Makefile

- added ncurses to the readline entries in the `make/make.*` files
- added quotes to sed expressions in Makefile (needed under Windows)
- modified makefiles for Windows/Intel
- added automatic query script in the Makefile for soft-link names

Fixed bugs
----------

- fixed bug with string pointer copy instead of string content duplication in constructors of C++ wrapper classes
- fixed bug in CPLEX interface with basis access methods that dualopt has to be called for more error status codes
- fixed bug with inserting two variable bounds of the same type on the same variable with the same bounding variable but
  with different sign of coefficient (e.g., `x <= 10*z + 5` and `x <= -5*z + 10`); in previous version, one of the two was
  removed, although both have a useful meaning; now, we keep both and detect a stronger global bound in the implication graph presolving
- objective function is now also checked for integrality after problem transformation (fixed a bug that a solution which
  was generated between transformation and presolving for an integral objective function did not reduce the cutoff bound by one)
- fixed a bug with cmir cut efficacy calculation (however, on my first tests, the performance reduced slightly!)
- fixed bug that SCIPvarGetAvgSol() always returned the upper bound (affected guided diving heuristic)
- fixed bug in RENS, RINS, Local Branching, Crossover and Mutation heuristics with wrong variable-subvariable assignments
- fixed bug in infeasible/bound-exceeding LP conflict analysis if the bounds were relaxed in diving (happens in intshifting heuristic)

- Separation:
  - fixed bug with adding constraints with `INITIAL=true` and separating them afterwards, which lead to a second addition of
    the constraint's relaxation in the child node
  - separation LPs are now immediately resolved after a bound change was generated by a cut separator; before, the
    separation round was prematurely aborted, which means that a separation round limit was sometimes reached very quickly
    and some of the separators were not even called a single time

- Cmir Cut Separator:
  - too large deltas are now also rejected in c-MIR cut separation
  - fixed bug in cmir cut separator, that 8*delta was not tried
  - fixed bug in cmir cut separator with wrong sign of slack in row score function
  - fixed bug in cmir cut separator with weights fixed to zero, thus making the current aggregation invalid
  - fixed bug in cmir cut separator with wrong calculation of cut efficacies

### New and changed callbacks

- slightly modified semantics of the `CONSINITLP` callback in the constraint handlers

### Deleted and changed API functions

- methods SCIPisLbBetter() and SCIPisUbBetter() have an additional parameter and slightly different meaning (they now
  compare the bound improvement *relatively* to the width of the domain and the bound itself)
- SCIPgetNSols() now returns an int instead of `SCIP_Longint`
- method SCIPreadProb() does not call SCIPfreeTransform() anymore; file readers that want to extend the existing problem
  must now call SCIPfreeTransform() themselves before modifying the original problem
- method SCIPgetBinvarRepresentative() can now also be called in problem creation stage
- additional parameter `maxpricerounds` in method SCIPsolveProbingLPWithPricing()
- changed name of method SCIPpresolGetNVarTypes() to SCIPpresolGetNChgVarTypes()
- method SCIPsplitFilenames() now treats both versions of slashes, `/` and `\`, as directory delimiters (under MinGW and
  CygWin, both are valid; so, we cannot treat file names anymore where the other slash is used as a regular character)

- Constraints:
  - marking a constraint to be `initial` now means in addition, that if the constraint is added to a local node it will
    enter the LP at the time the node is first processed, even if parameters forbid separation at this node

- fixed bug in crossover heuristic with negative timelimit
- removed bug in conflict analysis with wrong redundancy check

  bounds are not contained anymore in the new global bounds
- fixed dependency generation in example Makefiles

- Knapsack:
  - fixed bug in knapsack presolving with redundancy check after applyFixings() [thanks to Anders Schack-Nielsen]
  - fixed bug in knapsack separator with empty initial covers

  - fixed bug in CPLEX interface with getting basis information after the LP was modified and restored
  - fixed bug with updating LP size in probing
  - fixed bug that SCIPgetLPSolstat() returns a valid status code even if the LP was not yet constructed for the current node

- Variables:
  - fixed bug with invalid lazy updates after a restart where the LP is not solved again (e.g., due to all variables being fixed)
  - fixed bugs resulting from inactive general integer variables being member of the variable bounds array of a variable
  - fixed bug in updatePseudocost() with wrong lpgain distribution on multiple branching variables [thanks to Anders Schack-Nielsen]
  - fixed bug in objconshdlr.h where member variable scip_maxprerounds_ was declared as an `SCIP_Bool` instead of an int
  - branching on nearly-integral variables is now avoided in relpscost branching, which lead to a numerical assertion

- Implication:

    returned that the whole problem is infeasible)
  - removed wrong assert in varRemoveImplicsVbs()

@section RN081 SCIP 0.8.1

  - new presolver `implics` to find bound changes and aggregations out of the implication graph
  - modified probing order in probing presolver

Interface changes
-----------------

### New and changed callbacks

  to the objective value of the solution; an unknown solution value should be treated as an arbitrary value in the
  variable's bounds, e.g., in the calculation of the feasibility of a constraint, a value inside the variable's bounds
  should be selected that makes the constraint as feasible as possible
- new parameter `printzeros` for methods SCIPprintSol(), SCIPprintTransSol(), SCIPprintBestSol() and SCIPprintBestTransSol()

  - fixed bug with numerical error in LP resolve after probing or diving

- Heuristics:
  - fixed bug with calling heuristics in depths smaller than their frequency offset
  - fixed bugs in local branching and RINS heuristic

Known bugs
----------

- if one uses column generation and restarts, a solution that contains variables that are only present in the
  transformed problem (i.e., variables that were generated by a pricer) is not pulled back into the original space
  correctly, since the priced variables have no original counterpart

@section RN080 SCIP 0.8.0
*************************

  USRFLAGS=-DNO_SIGACTION`, `make USRFLAGS=-DNO_RAND_R`, or `make USRFLAGS=-DNO_STRTOK_R`
- improved preprocessing abort criteria
- added zlib support

- Conflict Analysis:

    clauses are added permanently to the problem; the remaining clauses are only added temporarily, if they can be used for repropagation
  - modified the influence of the depth level in conflict analysis
  - slightly changed LP resolving loop in conflict analysis

- Presolving and Cliques:
  - changed linear constraint presolving s.t. redundant sides are not removed if constraint is an equality
  - new event type `SCIP_EVENTTYPE_PRESOLVEROUND`
  - modified probing presolver to not add implications that are already included in the implication graph and clique table
  - incorporated clique and implication information in knapsack constraint presolving
  - removed transitive clique generation, because this produces way too many cliques

- Heuristics:
  - diving heuristics now apply propagation at each step
  - removed `objfeaspump` heuristic, because the functionality can be achieved by using the `feaspump` heuristic
  - diving heuristics are now applying propagation after each bound change
  - new primal heuristic `octane`
  - slightly changed feaspump heuristic, s.t. after finding a new best solution the target integral solution is modified randomly

- Separation and Cuts:
  - improved debugging for infeasible cuts and propagations, given a primal feasible solution
  - improved knapsack cover separation
  - improved performance of c-MIR separator
  - cut pool is now also separated in root node (to find cuts again that were removed from the LP due to aging)

  data types in your own source code (But use with care! Create a backup copy of your source first!)

Build system
------------

### Makefile

- modified the Makefile to accept an additional parameter `VERBOSE={true,false}`
- added flags `READLINE=true/false`, `ZLIB=true/false`, `ZIMPL=true/false` to Makefile

Fixed bugs
----------

- fixed minor bugs in debug code of primal.c and sol.c
- variables that are being multiaggregated are now automatically removed from all other variables' variable bound and
  implication arrays; this fixes bugs with methods, that rely on the fact, that the entries in the variable bound and
  implication arrays are active variables only
- aggregations are now always performed in a way, such that the variable of more general type is aggregated (with type
  generality being cont > implint > int > bin); in this way, a binary variable's representant is always binary (which
  was not the case before and resulted in a bug in SCIPgetBinvarRepresentative())
- removed bug in presol_probing.c: the vars of the sorted variables array have to be captured
- fixed bug in the output of solutions with priced variables
- fixed bug in propagation with parameters prop_maxrounds and prop_maxroundsroot
- conflict analysis can now handle errors in LP solving calls
- removed bug in SCIPvarAddVlb() and SCIPvarAddVub() with fractional vlb/vubcoefs
- fixed bug that primal or dual rays might not be available because the wrong solver was used
- included message.o in LPI library, s.t. one can link this library indepentent of SCIP
- fixed bug that if diving heuristic that changes the objective values finds a solution, the cutoff is reinstalled in
  the LP solver (although the objective value has no meaning due to the objective function modification)

- Feasibiltiy:
  - LP primal feasibility for bounds is now defined as absolute measure (was relative to the bound before); this fixes a bug (see alu8_9.mps),
    that an LP with an integral variable fixed to a large value yields an accepted solution with that variable slightly different than the fixed
    value; the integrality feasibility condition is measured with absolute differences, which leads to the fixed integer variable being fractional;
    this leads to an error if branching is performed on this variable
  - fixed bug with redundant self implications that wrongly lead to the detection of infeasibility
  - fixed bug with potential infinite loop if a separator is delayed and the LP is infeasible

- Asserts:
  - removed wrong asserts from lpi_cpx.c
  - removed wrong assertion in varAddImplic()

- Numerics:
  - locally fixed variables are no longer used as branching candidates even if their LP solution value is fractional (due
    to numerical reasons, see above)
  - fixed numerical bug in pseudo objective propagator with only slightly tightened bounds
  - removed bug that an LP might be declared to be solved even if it was marked erroneous due to numerical problems

- Constraint Handlers:
  - fixed bug in linear constraint handler with variables fixed to infinity
  - fixed bug with constraint handlers that can only enforce their constraints by adding cuts, but the maximal number of
    cuts to separate is set to 0; now, cuts that are generated in the constraint enforcement are used in any case
  - fixed bug in knapsack constraint presolving with tightening coefficients and capacity
  - fixed bug with modifiable constraints in linear constraint handler preprocessing
  - fixed bug in linear constraint handler that global activities are not updated after global bound changes

- Separation and Cuts:
  - global bound changes now lead to the removal of redundant implications (such that the asserts in sepa_implbounds.c are now correct)
  - due to usage of variable bounds, SCIPcalcMIR() may return LOOSE variables in the cut -> modified sepa_cmir.c, sepa_gomory.c and
    sepa_strongcg.c to use SCIPcreateEmptyRow() and SCIPaddVarsToRow() instead of SCIPcreateRow() which only works for COLs
  - fixed bug in clique separator that reduced performance
  - increased performance of clique separator by allowing only a certain number of zero-weighted fill ins

@page RN0_7 Release notes for SCIP 0.7

@section RN079 SCIP 0.7.9
*************************

Features
--------

- aging and cleanup now only remove non-basic columns and basic rows, s.t. resolving can be applied with 0 simplex iterations
- it is now possible to create subnodes in probing and use backtracking to undo probing changes
- bounds of variables are included in the feasibility checks for solutions
- support for barrier algorithm
- changed implementation of automatic minplungedepth and maxplungedepth calculation in bfs node selector

- Presolving:
  - new plugin: probing presolver
  - probing is now also possible in presolving stage
  - it is now possible to interrupt and continue presolving

- Separation and Cuts:
  - new plugin: clique separator for clique cuts with at least 3 elements
  - new plugin: implied bound cuts separator
  - included debugging module to check whether cutting planes cut off the optimal solution

- Branching:
  - changed implementation of reliability value calculation in reliability branching; slightly modified influence of
    maximal total number of strong branching LP iterations in reliability branching
  - changed implementation of maximal strong branching iterations calculation in reliability branching

- Constraints:
  - if verblevel is at least `NORMAL`, an automatical check of the best solution is performed in the original problem, and
    an error message is displayed, if it violates an original constraint
  - due to the new constraint handler `cons_cumulative.{c,h}` SCIP can resource-constraint scheduling problem
  - during probing, propagation of bounds is now always performed in linear constraint handler, ignoring the parameter `tightenboundsfreq`
  - new implementation of the clique graph construction method in clique separator
  - new constraint handler `cons_cumulative.{c,h}`

- Heuristics:
  - new implementation of the feasibility pump heuristic by Timo Berthold (replaces old implementation); old
    implementation is now called `objfeaspump`; parameter names have been changed accordingly

    number (including their own) LP iterations
  - modified the automatic objfactor setting of feaspump heuristic to let the objective function have stronger influence

Examples and applications

- added TSP example in `examples/TSP`

Interface changes
-----------------

### New and changed callbacks

- constraint handler callback methods `CONSLOCK` and `CONSUNLOCK` are replaced by a single method `CONSLOCK` with the number
  of locks being positive or negative

### Deleted and changed API functions

- calling SCIPaddCut() with `forcecut=TRUE` will add the cut to the LP even if it is redundant
- SCIPreadProb() does not free the current problem, this is done in SCIPcreateProb() now, which is usually
  called by a problem reader; in this way, a reader can generate `extra information` for the current problem, s.t.  the
  full problem information can be distributed to different files read by different readers
- SCIPgetVarStrongbranch() and SCIPgetVarStrongbranchLast() now have two additional parameters that can be used
  to check, whether the returned values are correct dual bounds
- SCIPgetBinvarRepresentative() now returns the fixed or multi-aggregated variable instead of returning `NULL` or
  aborting with an error message

    corresponding values of the transformed problem or current subproblem even for original problem variables
  - SCIPvarGetProbvar(), SCIPvarGetProbvarBinary() now return the fixed or multi-aggregated variable instead of
    returning `NULL` or aborting with an error message; in SCIPvarGetProbvarBinary(), the fixing of a fixed variable does
    not influence the negation status anymore
  - SCIPvarGetProbvarBound() returns the multi-aggregated variable instead of aborting with an error message
  - SCIPvarGetProbvarSum() does not set *var to `NULL` for fixed variables anymore; it may also return a
    multi-aggregated variable instead of aborting with an error message
  - SCIPaddVarImplication() now also adds variable lower and upper bounds, if the implied variable is non-binary
  - additional parameter `aggregated` in SCIPmultiaggregateVars()

  - SCIPlockConsVars() and SCIPunlockConsVars() replaced with method SCIPaddConsLocks()
  - SCIPconshdlrGetNConss() is replaced by SCIPconshdlrGetNActiveConss() (returning the number of active

- fixed bug that after a resolve and further preprocessing, existing primal solutions may get corrupted due to
  aggregations or fixings that are possible due to the primal bound (given by the best solution)

- heuristic's display character is now only shown the first time, the new solution was found

  upper bound change
- fixed bug in SCIPvarAddImplics() with wrong variable used in varAdjustBd()

    solution as feasible)
  - fixed bug in CPLEX LP interface with dual norms

@section RN078 SCIP 0.7.8
*************************

Features
--------

- changed SCIProwCalcIntegralScalar() to a slightly different algorithm
- improved knapsack relaxation in linear constraint handler separator to scale the constraint in order to get integral
  coefficients instead of just rounding down all coefficients
- improved presolving of linear constraint handler: aggregation of two constraints with equal coefficient vector into
  single constraint
- improved presolving of knapsack constraint handler: aggregation of equal or negated variables in same constraint

- Plugins:
  + priority of separators, propagators and presolvers decide whether the plugin is called before the corresponding
    constraint handler methods or after: plugins with nonnegative priorities are called before, plugins with negative
    priorities are called after the constraint handlers
  + new plugin class for relaxators (external relaxations, that can be used in parallel with LP relaxations)
  + if more than one result code applies to a plugin's execution, it should return the one that is higher in the call's
    documentation list

Interface changes
-----------------

- even in optimized mode, the simple functions that are implemented as defines in the include files exist in the
  library, s.t. one can include the include files without `NDEBUG` and use the optimized library

### New and changed callbacks

- new branching rule plugin methods `INITSOL` and `EXITSOL`

### Deleted and changed API functions

- removed SCIPisFeasible(); use !SCIPisFeasNegative() instead
- SCIPisIntegral(), SCIPisFracIntegral(), SCIPfloor(), SCIPceil() and SCIPfrac() don't use the feasibility
  tolerance anymore (default: 1e-06); instead, they are using epsilon (default: 1e-09); instead, for handling
  integrality of a variable `in feasibility tolerances`, new methods SCIPisFeasIntegral(), SCIPisFeasFracIntegral(),
  SCIPfeasFloor(), SCIPfeasCeil() and SCIPfeasFrac() should be used
- in LPI, the semantics of SCIPlpiHasPrimalRay() and SCIPlpiHasDualRay() changed: methods return TRUE, if a ray exists
  and the solver can return it; new methods SCIPlpiExistsPrimalRay() and SCIPlpiExistsDualRay() check whether a ray
  exists without checking, if the solver knows and can return the ray

### New API functions

- SCIPvarIsInLP()
- SCIPgetLPColumnObjval() and SCIPgetLPLooseObjval()
- SCIPcalcIntegralScalar() with arbitrary array of Real values
- SCIPaddCoefKnapsack() in knapsack constraint handler
- SCIPisScalingIntegral() to check, whether the scaling of a value would lead to an integral value, measured
  against epsilon which is also scaled by the same scalar
- SCIPgetRealarrayMinIdx(), SCIPgetRealarrayMaxIdx(), SCIPgetIntarrayMinIdx(), SCIPgetIntarrayMaxIdx(),
  SCIPgetBoolarrayMinIdx(), SCIPgetBoolarrayMaxIdx(), SCIPgetPtrarrayMinIdx() and SCIPgetPtrarrayMaxIdx()
- SCIPbsortPtrInt() and SCIPbsortPtrIntInt()
- SCIPvarWasFixedAtIndex()
- SCIPaddConflictBd()
- SCIPprintMemoryDiagnostic()
- SCIPfindObj...() and SCIPgetObj...() in C++ wrapper interface to get the corresponding plugin object

### Changed parameters

  no more change has been found

Fixed bugs
----------

- assigning a value to a fixed variable in a solution with SCIPsetSolVal() does not return an error anymore, if the
  value is equal to the fixed value of the variable
- removed bug in SCIPisScalingIntegral()
- removed bugs with calling SCIPtightenVarLb(), SCIPtightenVarUb(), SCIPinferVarLbCons(), SCIPinferVarUbCons(),
  SCIPinferVarLbProp() and SCIPinferVarUbProp() in `PROBLEM` stage

  - removed bug in resolving an interrupted problem, after the last solved node was cut off
  - removed bug with infinite solving loop if LP solving is turned off
  - removed bug with aborted solving in root node (e.g. due to time limit) that is tagged to be restarted

- Branching:
  - fixed bug in all-fullstrong branching with getting strong branching information for columns not in current LP
  - implemented missing case in solve.c with branching rules that add constraints

- Numerics:
  - changed numerics for integrality check of coefficients (fixed bug with accumulated errors in rows s.t. the row's
    activity is no longer integral although the row is marked being integer)
  - slightly changed numerics in linear constraint handler presolving to fix a bug with coefficients detected to be scaled
    to an integral value, that are not integral after scaling due to a large scalar that increased the integrality gap to
    a value larger than epsilon

- Constraint handlers:
  - fixed bugs in consdataSwitchWatchedVars() of `or` and `and` constraint handlers
  - fixed wrong assertion in xor constraint handler with switching both watched variables to unwatched
  - fixed bugs in constraint handlers (and, logicor, or, setppc, xor) with calling conflict analysis during presolving
  - removed bug in knapsack constraint handler that appears if a variable is fixed to zero in knapsack presolving, which
    triggers a variable of the same knapsack to be fixed to one due to aggregation

- Presolving:
  - removed bug in knapsack presolver
  - fixed bug in presolving with wrong number of newly fixed/aggregated/... variables/bounds/... after a restart

@section RN077 SCIP 0.7.7
*************************

Features
--------

- infeasible LPs in diving now produce conflict clauses (if LP conflict analysis is enabled)
- conflict analysis was slightly modified
- slightly changed aging strategy of logic or constraint handler

Interface changes
-----------------

### Deleted and changed API functions

- method SCIPgetGap() and SCIPgetTransGap() now return infinity, if primal and dual bound have opposite sign (this
  removes the oddness with the gap increasing while the dual bound approaches zero)

### New API functions

- added methods SCIPgetVarsLogicor() and SCIPgetNVarsLogicor() in logic or constraint handler

### Changed parameters

- `lp/colagelimit` and `lp/rowagelimit` may now be set to -1 to disable deletion of columns/rows due to aging

Build system
------------

### Makefile

- the file names in the archive file are now preceeded with a directory `scip-<version>/`
- the compiler is now also represented in the LP solver library names (e.g. you have to rename the softlink
  `libcplex.linux.x86.a` to `libcplex.linux.x86.gnu.a`)

Fixed bugs
----------

- removed bug in conflict analysis that appears if the conflict is only active at the current depth level
- missing SCIPlpiIsPrimalFeasible() and SCIPlpiIsDualFeasible() implemented in lpi_spx.cpp and lpi_spx121.cpp

- Asserts:
  - removed wrong assert `assert(eventfilter->len == 0 || eventfilter->eventmask != 0x00000000)` from event.c
  - removed wrong assert in conflict analysis (appeared on analyzing diving LP conflicts with both bounds of a non-binary variable changed)

@section RN076 SCIP 0.7.6
*************************

Features
--------

- creation of reconvergence clauses in conflict analysis
- first node of each plunging is not treated as plunging node w.r.t. calling primal heuristics
- improved performance of logic or constraint handler due to better watched variables handling

Interface changes
-----------------

### Deleted and changed API functions

- SCIPgetFeasibilityLinear() in linear constraint handler
- SCIPchgVarBranchDirection()
- SCIPvarGetBranchDirection()
- SCIPgetStatus() returns the solution status
- SCIPprintStatus() outputs the solution status (beware, that the old SCIPprintStatus() method is now called SCIPprintStage())

### Changed parameters

- changed default frequency offset of pscostdiving `heuristics/pscostdiving/freqofs` to 2 and frequency offset of fracdiving
  `heuristics/feaspump/freqofs` to 0 in order to not call pscostdiving in root node, where nearly all pseudo costs are uninitialized.

### New parameters

- new parameter `separating/efficacynorm` to choose between Euclidean, maximum, sum and discrete norm in efficacy
  calculation

### Data structures

- new possible result code `SCIP_DELAYED` for primal heuristics

Fixed bugs
----------

- removed bugs in CLP Solver interface
- SCIP returned `gap limit reached` even if the problem was solved to optimality, if the optimal solution was found at a
  node with lower bound equal to the global lower bound
- after conversion of the focus node into a junction (e.g. in case of numerical troubles while solving the node's LP), the child
  nodes got the wrong LP fork attached (the common LP fork of the old and new focus node instead of the old focus node's LP fork)

- Variables:
  - bug reconvergence clauses in conflict analysis if bounds on non-binary variables were the reason for the fixing of the
    uip to create a reconvergence clause for
  - wrong sub calls in SCIPvarGet...CurrentRun() for aggregated variables
  - variables' conflict set counter was not reset when the problem was resolved again

Known bugs
----------

- unbounded models lead to an error
- air04 and air05 return wrong optimal value (1 too large): possibly due to strong branching or setppc propagation?
