JijZept Updates​

We’re pleased to announce the release of JijZept with important updates and fixes that further refine your experience.

Updated SDKs​

New Features​

  • MIPLIB Instances with jijmodeling: A tutorial is now available for efficiently loading MIPLIB instances using jijmodeling, aimed at simplifying benchmarking and testing workflows.

  • jijzept v1.17.0: This release removes JijDA3Sampler and adds a new row-oriented SampleSet, accessible as follows:

    import jijzept as jz
    sampler = jz.JijSASampler(config="config.toml")
    sampleset = sampler.sample_model(problem, instance_data).get_sampleset()

  • Enhanced Sampler Metadata: SampleSets from JijDA4Sampler and JijLeapHybridCQMSampler now include details on trivial constraints in their metadata:

    sampleset.metadata["presolve"]["trivial_constraint"]

  • Expanded Support in JijLeapHybridCQMSampler: Continuous variables via jijmodeling.ContinuousVar are now supported, enhancing the sampler's flexibility.

Bug Fixes​

  • Server Response Stability: We have fixed a critical issue where certain jm.Problem submissions caused server unresponsiveness.

  • Scoped Element Naming: Element names are now context-specific within constraints and functions, enabling the reuse of generic identifiers like i and j without introducing errors or conflicts with other variables and placeholders:

    import jijmodeling as jm

    n = jm.Placeholder("n")
    x = jm.BinaryVar("x", shape=(n,))

    problem = jm.Problem("problem")
    i = jm.Element("i", belong_to=n)
    problem += jm.Constraint("const1", x[i] == 1, forall=i)

    i = jm.Element("i", belong_to=3) 
    # No more ModelingError for reusing "i" with a different definition in the same problem scope.
    problem += jm.Constraint("const2", i * x[i] == 1, forall=i)

Important Notices​

  • End of Support for JijDA3Sampler: Please be advised that as of today, November 6th, support for JijDA3Sampler has ended. We continue to support JijDA4Sampler and encourage users to consider using this sampler for future projects.

  • Transition to New SampleSet Schema: We are planning a transition to a new schema for SampleSets. This upgrade will enhance the data structure and user access patterns. Details and instructions for this transition will be provided well in advance to ensure a smooth update process.

Thank you for your continued support. Should you need any assistance or have inquiries, please do not hesitate to contact us.
