Ipopt + Silverlight = True!

Today I have released a new version 0.9.5 of csipopt, the .NET interface to the Ipopt large-scale non-linear constrained optimization algorithm.

Compiled libraries can be downloaded here: http://code.google.com/p/csipopt/downloads/list
The source code is available here: https://github.com/cureos/csipopt/tags

A detailed description of the improvements and usage is provided here: https://github.com/cureos/csipopt/wiki/Substantially-extended-API

Highlights include:

  • Unsafe directive requirement removed
  • IpoptProblem sub-classable, yielding cleaner instantiation of the optimization problems
  • Native Ipopt methods publicly available
  • Silverlight 5 supported in elevated-trust, out-of-browser applications
Do not hesitate to discuss or report experiences and problems in the csipopt forum!
