Initialization with previous versions:
      XPRBprob prob;
      prob = new XPRBprob("myproblem");

  Initialization now:
      XPRB bcl;
      XPRBprob prob;

      bcl = new XPRB();
      prob = bcl.newProb("myproblem");
  

• new classes XPRBlicense, XPRBerror, XPRBlicenseError, and XPRBcut
• removed XPRB.init(), replaced by constructor XPRB()
• replaced constructor XPRBprob(String name) by XPRB.newProb(String name)
• new XPRB/XPRBprob method setOutputStream for handling of output streams
• return type changed from int to void: XPRB: setMsgLevel, setRealFmt, setColOrder XPRBctr: setType, setRange, setModCut, setTerm, addTerm, delTerm XPRBprob: setMsgLevel, setRealFmt, setColOrder, setObj, loadBasis, setSense, exportProb, writeDir, loadMat, solve, minim, maxim, sync, setDictionarySize XPRBsos: setDir, addElement, delElement XPRBvar: setType, setUB, setLB, setLim, fix, setDir
• new XPRBprob methods getXPRSprob, setCutMode, newCut, addCuts, reset
• new XPRBctr method getAct
• new XPRBlinExp methods getSol, setTerm, delTerm
• new XPRBquadExp methods setTerm, delTerm

• Redirection of output streams (XPRB/XPRBprob method setOutputStream), see example Java/UGExpl/xbexpl3.java.
• The Java interface now also handles OEM licensing (new class XPRBlicense).
• Direct access to the Xpress-Optimizer problem from BCL Java: accessed via XPRBprob.getXPRSprob(); the Xpress-Optimizer Java needs to be initialized with XPRS.init() before the Optimizer problem is accessed. See examples Java/UGExpl/xbcontr1.java and xbcontr2.java. The methods for setting and getting Optimizer parameters from BCL are deprecated.
• The garbage collector is now started automatically if BCL (not the Optimizer!) runs out of memory; with multiple problem runs forcing garbage collection may still be necessary to clear up the Optimizer problem, or alternatively, use XPRBprob.reset().
• New method XPRBlinExp.getSol() (Java only), new methods setTerm/delTerm for linExp and quadExp (in C++ and Java)

• Goal Programming: */AdvExpl/xbgoalobj.*
• Using the cut functions: */AdvExpl/xbelsc.* and */UGExpl/xbcutex.*
• Accessing Xpress-Optimizer from Java: Java/UGExpl/xbcontr*.java
• Java initialization, error handling, output stream redirection: Java/UGExpl/xbexpl3.java
