-
-=== cvxopt-1.1.3 (Dima Pasechnik, Mike Hansen, Harald Schilly, David Kirkby, Peter Jeremy, November, 2010) ===
- * fiddled with the lists of libraries to link, on per Fortran compiler basis.
- * added recognition of g95 directly, rather than by platform.
- * added getting the right -L path to libf95 for g95.
- * #6456 Updated to 1.1.3.
- * Modified setup.py to build correctly under Cygwin.
- * applied P.Jeremy's FreeBSD patch (see #6456)
- * corrected the 64-bit specific int* bug reported by pjeremy
- * turned on GSL extension (this is the default mode for CVXOPT, and GSL is a standard Sage spkg, so
-   this makes perfect sense); this in particular allowed to get rid of strange random seed-related
-   import bugs uncovered by David Kirkby's spkg-check
- * modified spkg-check to report test names, cd to appropriate subdirs, and skip .bin files.
- * corrected the .patch files in patches/ to be in right order --- just run the makepatchfiles
-   script to re-create these files!
- * removed html doc files in src/doc; the .rst doc files are there, so it's a question of
-   rebuilding them
-   (e.g. one can do sage -sh; cd src/doc; make html)
- * included David's shortened and gcc-version targeted Sun-specific patch
-   (comment 88 on #6456); removed sun_complex.h
- * took care of SPKG.txt sections, as mentioned in comment 87 on #6456
- * incorporating building the GLPK extension (track #9598)
- * #9525 Correct the fact that installation of cvxopt will allways
-   report it was
-   successful, even if it failed.
- * Add a spkg-check file, as #9281 listed cvxopt was missing such a file
- * implemented changes requested in comment 28 of track ticket #6456:
-
-   (kept a harmless SAGE_LOCAL check)
-
-   On building cvxopt extensions:
-   the non-required extension are not built;
-   however, it is possible to switch on the dsdp and dsl extensions by
-   flipping the BUILD_..-flags in setup.py (and modifying dirs for dsdp)
-   Remaining extensions were not tested; it should not be hard to have
-   them provided the corresponding libs are there (e.g. parts of Sage)
-
- * modified setup.py to streamline and make it more Sage-like;
-   in particular got rid of f77blas and f95 dependences that
-   are obsolete, since Sage switched to gfortran
- * rebased Solaris-specific patches from cvxopt-0.9 spkg
-   (only cvxopt.h needed to be patched, while the old
-    native cvxopt random framework is now gone (since cvxopt-1.1
-    at least)
- * modified setup.py and src/python/__init__.py
- * moved old patches to patches-old (solaris, ...) for future reference
- * simplifying spkg-install
-
-=== cvxopt-0.9.p8 (Gonzalo Tornaria, June 19th, 2009) ===
