[DMANET] SCIP Optimization Suite 7.0 released

Dear colleagues,

we are happy to announce the release of the SCIP Optimization Suite 7.0.
It consists of SCIP 7.0, SoPlex 5.0, ZIMPL 3.3.9, UG 0.8.9, GCG 3.0.3, and
PaPILO 1.0. Additionally, version 3.2 of SCIP-SDP has been released.

New features of the SCIP Optimization Suite 7.0 include

- the first release of PaPILO, a Parallel Presolve Library for Integer
Linear Optimization,
- tree size estimation methods to predict the search progress and
trigger restarts,
- the extension of SCIP's Benders' decomposition to handle convex MINLP
subproblems,
- a data structure to store decomposition information, used in primal
heuristics and
  Benders' decomposition,
- a revision of SCIP's symmetry handling methods allowing the
combination of
  polyhedral methods with orbital fixing,

and many further improvements and additions, resulting in significant
speedups for both MIP and MINLP.

For more information check out our website http://scip.zib.deand the
accompanying release report with an in-depth description of the
enhancements, which is available at Optimization Online:
