Package: glpk
Version: 4.8-1
Severity: important


I had a piece of code that has been working with GLPK quite happily 
for some time. Today I had to make a slight change to my code and
found that it no longer compiles. Here are the error messages:

    calc.c:264: warning: implicit declaration of function `lpx_set_col_coef'
    calc.c:302: warning: implicit declaration of function `lpx_load_mat'

It seems that my system (the Testing verison of Debin GNU/Linux) has
recently updated my system from glpk-4.7 to glpk-4.8 and that caused
my code to break.

Please provide a separate versions of the library to avoid breakage
of previously working code.

Hi,

the API change occurred between 4.3 and 4.4. By now, 4.8 is in stable,
so it probably isn't sensible anymore to maintain compatibility with
4.3. (It most likely never was, because it means a lot of work without
support from upstream, and probably helps only a small number of
people.)

Brady, you mentioned a while ago you might write documentation for
people on how to adapt their source. Did you get around to doing so?
It would be a good thing to include this.
