This update, despite ostensibly being a minor version, includes breaking
changes that must be accounted for.
Overflow is much more strictly checked, so the magnitude of certain
constants has been decreased.
CP-SAT's default number of workers has been changed to reflect the
default of this script. As such, the script no longer needs to change
that parameter unless a specific number of workers has been specified.
In light of the breaking changes, the OR-Tools version is now pinned at
9.1 instead of being permitted to use future minor versions.
This method allows a series of constraints to be applied all at once
using the same enforcement literal, which can substantially improve
readability and writability.
The replacement method, BoolExpression, accepts a
BoundedLinearExpression directly, and uses memoization to reuse Boolean
variables. This technique is unsuitable for other methods, as
constraints need to be applied separately, but in this case it is fine.
The new method is much easier to understand, and far easier to read at
call sites.
Variable names are generated from the expression, rather than being
explicitly specified.
The new subclass, BoneMarketModel, overrides CpModel's methods with
improvements such as default parameters and support for enforcement
literals.
This should allow substantial improvements to the readability of the
solver in the future.
In addition, various lists have been replaced with tuples where
appropriate.
