GLPK 4.27 -- Release Information
********************************

Release date: Mar 02, 2008

GLPK (GNU Linear Programming Kit) is intended for solving large-scale
linear programming (LP), mixed integer linear programming (MIP), and
other related problems. It is a set of routines written in ANSI C and
organized as a callable library.

In this release:

Three new table drivers were added to the MathProg translator:

 * xBASE built-in table driver, which allows reading and writing data
   in .dbf format (only C and N fields are supported);

 * MySQL table driver, which provides connection to a MySQL database;

 * iODBC table driver, which provides connection to a database through
   ODBC.

The MySQL and iODBC table drivers were contributed to GLPK by Heinrich
Schuchardt <address@hidden>.

The table driver is a program module which allows transmitting data
between MathProg model objects and external data tables.

For detailed description of the table statement and table drivers see
the document "Using Data Tables in the GNU MathProg Modeling Language"
(file doc/tables.txt) included in the distribution. Some examples which
demonstrate using MySQL and iODBC table drivers to read and write data
can be found in subdirectory examples/sql.
