v1.6.0 (July 3, 2023)

Added

Other

v1.5.1 (June 30, 2023)

This release contains a number of minor code changes, but it has a large impact on the content that is printed to screen. In particular, we now log periodically, instead of each iteration, and a "good" stopping rule is used as the default if none are specified. Try using SDDP.train(model) to see the difference.

Other

  • Fixed various typos in the documentation (#617)
  • Fixed printing test after changes in JuMP (#618)
  • Set SimulationStoppingRule as the default stopping rule (#619)
  • Changed the default logging frequency. Pass log_every_seconds = 0.0 to train to revert to the old behavior. (#620)
  • Added example usage with Distributions.jl (@slwu89) (#622)
  • Removed the numerical issue @warn (#627)
  • Improved the quality of docstrings (#630)

v1.5.0 (May 14, 2023)

Added

  • Added the ability to use a different model for the forward pass. This is a novel feature that lets you train better policies when the model is non-convex or does not have a well-defined dual. See the Alternative forward models tutorial in which we train convex and non-convex formulations of the optimal power flow problem. (#611)

Other

  • Updated missing changelog entries (#608)
  • Removed global variables (#610)
  • Converted the Options struct to keyword arguments. This struct was a private implementation detail, but the change is breaking if you developed an extension to SDDP that touched these internals. (#612)
  • Fixed some typos (#613)

v1.4.0 (May 8, 2023)

Added

Fixed

  • Fixed parsing of some MSPFormat files (#602) (#604)
  • Fixed printing in header (#605)

Other

v1.1.1 (March 16, 2023)

Other

  • Fixed email in Project.toml
  • Added notebook to documentation tutorials (#571)

v1.1.0 (January 12, 2023)

Added

v1.0.0 (January 3, 2023)

Although we're bumping MAJOR version, this is a non-breaking release. Going forward:

  • New features will bump the MINOR version
  • Bug fixes, maintenance, and documentation updates will bump the PATCH version
  • We will support only the Long Term Support (currently v1.6.7) and the latest patch (currently v1.8.4) releases of Julia. Updates to the LTS version will bump the MINOR version
  • Updates to the compat bounds of package dependencies will bump the PATCH version.

We do not intend any breaking changes to the public API, which would require a new MAJOR release. The public API is everything defined in the documentation. Anything not in the documentation is considered private and may change in any PATCH release.

v0.1.0 (October 17, 2019)

A complete rewrite of SDDP.jl based on the policy graph framework. This was essentially a new package. It has minimal code in common with the previous implementation.

Development started on September 28, 2018 in Kokako.jl, and the code was merged into SDDP.jl on March 14, 2019.

The pull request SDDP.jl#180 lists the 29 issues that the rewrite closed.

v0.0.1 (April 18, 2018)

Initial release. Development had been underway since January 22, 2016 in the StochDualDynamicProgram.jl repository. The last development commit there was April 5, 2017. Work then continued in this repository for a year before the first tagged release.
