We expect it to replace the main branch 8.0 after a few months of testing.
The API of version 8.1 is identical with 8.0, but there are other major upgrades:
- Much faster implementation of the Python Fusion API. Depending on the use case the overhead of Fusion is reduced by a factor of 3-10 on large models.
- C++ Fusion API is now available also for Windows, at least for Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 and newer. (Currently only 64bit; the 32bit version is in preparation)
- Some performance improvements in the conic optimizer. Particularly for problems with many dense columns.
- Much improved documentation for the Optimizer, Fusion and API reference.
