In rminizinc: R Interface to 'MiniZinc'

Version 0.0.7

CHANGES

• Allow all command line options to be provided with mzn_eval() for solving a MiniZinc model like other_cl_options.

Version 0.0.6

CHANGES

• Added functions for directly solving magic square, magic series, assignment and production planning problem.
• IntDecl(), FloatDecl() and BoolDecl() can directly accept R integer, double and boolean values respectively.
• Let class had incorrect serialization logic and its member functions were not working which has been resolved.
• Array class had incorrect serialization which has been resolved.
• The vignette has been re-written to make it easy to understand and more detailed.
• Installation was not working in some OS due to the strip binary in Makevars.in which is now resolved.
• Corrected the error messages in mzn_parse() and mzn_eval().

Version 0.0.5

CHANGES

• Added functions for directly solving knapsack and assignment problem.
• Improved IntDecl() and FloatDecl(). Now, integers and floats with domains can be declared.
• Updated the MiniZinc files according to the latest MiniZinc release.

BUGFIXES

• AssignItem constructor had incorrect function calls due to which the mzn_parse() function was throwing errors for models containing assignments. This has now been fixed.
• The assertion in the ArrayAccess class was incorrected which has now been resolved.

Version 0.0.4

BUGFIXES

• Modified configure script:
• Configuration was not working when --with-mzn argument was provided during the installation because file variable path was not initialized for that section. It has now been fixed.

Version 0.0.3

BUGFIXES

• Modified configure script:
• Checking for built libmzn.a, then looking for headers and then defining MZN_PATH so that mzn_parse works correctly for custom paths. (It was only working for default paths earlier).
• Corrected config.h.in to make sure the correct definitions of mzn_parse() and mzn_eval() are used.

Version 0.0.2

CHANGES

• Provided a more elaborate description of the package.
• Corrected package version number in the configure script.

BUGFIXES

• Modified configure script to make the package compatible with other Unix-like systems like Solaris and resolved a possible error that would occur in case the user tries to install rminizinc with a) just solver binaries and not libminizinc. b) solver binaries and unbuilt libminizinc (i.e. without libmzn.a)
• Modified config.h.in to prevent possible issues on Solaris.
• Added a check for the minimum required pandoc version in the vignette and also update the SystemRequirements field of Description accordingly.
• Changed Rscript to Rscript.exe in Makevars.win.in to avoid issues on Windows.
