[Yaroslav Halchenko]

Package: libnlopt0
Version: 2.2.4+dfsg-2
Severity: wishlist

http://ab-initio.mit.edu/wiki/index.php/NLopt
lists 2.3 as the one released 20 July 2012

    In Matlab/Octave interface, make returning NaN from the objective equivalent to nlopt_force_stop; thanks to Norman Violet for the suggestion.
    Added CCSA-quadratic (NLOPT_LD_CCSAQ), similar to MMA.
    Added interface for supplying a preconditioner (approximate Hessian); currently only supported in CCSAQ.
    When adding mconstraints, allow tol==NULL as synonym for zero tolerances.
    Added missing NLOPT_LD_SLSQP constant in Matlab/Octave.
    Lower tolerance for dual optimization in MMA/CCSAQ; thanks to Christophe Leruste for the problem report.
    Fixed bug in timer, thanks to William Vaughn for the patch.
    Bug fix to convergence test in SBPLX; thanks to Douglas Bates.
