equations.
- PSS/E raw data import.
- Utility routines to check network connectivity and handle islands and
isolated buses.
- New extensible options architecture.
- New extension implementing DC OPF branch flow soft limits.
- New and updated support for 3rd party solvers (CPLEX, GLPK, Gurobi, Ipopt,
Knitro).
