CVXPY 1.0 is here!

[Steven Diamond]

Hi everyone,

After a lot of work, CVXPY 1.0 is finally ready to try! The updated docs and install instructions are available here. The main changes are: 

  1. A new, flexible system for mapping user defined problems onto arbitrary solver standard forms. The new system has made it easy to provide features like special handling of QPs and support for complex numbers/variables.

  2. A new unified system for defining variables and parameters with special attributes, like symmetric or complex variables.

  3. Compatibility with NumPy semantics.

The most interesting concepts behind the rewrite are discussed in this paper: http://stanford.edu/~boyd/papers/cvxpy_rewriting.html

Please give CVXPY 1.0 a try and let me know how it works for you! I expect there will be a few hiccups and unexpected bugs to iron out before I switch everything over to the new version.

Best,

Steven

After following the instructions for Anaconda install, I have version 0.4.10
Which maybe ok, but the online documentation is for 1.0
How to getthe old documentation, or to install the latest version?

I am also experiencing the same problem: I have followed the instructions but the version in the anaconda navigator is still 0.4.10... how can I solve this?
