Xpress Workbench is the technology component which provides an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that allows Operations Research professionals, Data Scientists, and Solution Developers to rapidly and collaboratively develop analytic and optimization models, services, and Xpress Insight apps written in Python or Xpress Mosel. It also supports Xpress Mosel—the premier algebraic modelling and optimization language. 

This release comes with new features: 

  • To boost the Python developer experience a profiler is available to give a detailed breakdown of execution times, and to identify bottlenecks. The Python profiler generates a single .prof file with links to the given source files. 

  • To enhance the Mac User experience Workbench now ships for macOS in both the Intel and ARM editions of the Xpress installer. Unlike the Xpress libraries, Workbench binary components are still built to target Intel Macs, and run on ARM Macs via Apple's Rosetta2 emulation.  

  • If you have several Python environments on your local machine and you want not to use your default one, Workbench on-premises allows arguments for custom Python path and Conda environments in the Compile Options.  

  • The Xpress Insight pane has a new Manage Connections dialog to show which Insight App is linked to workbench and to unlink the App if needed. This replaces the Unlink menu item. 

For more information and a detailed list of features and fixes, we recommend you read the Xpress release notes.
