Fast Downward 20.06

Fast Downward 20.06 was released on July 26, 2020.

Highlights:

Downloads

For Singularity, Docker and Vagrant, see QuickStart for instructions on how to run the planner. That page explains how to run the latest release of Fast Downward, so you have to amend the instructions if you want to run an older release.

For the tarball, if you have satisfied all dependencies, the following should build and run the planner with configuration alias lama-first on PDDL files /path/to/domain.pddl and /path/to/problem.pddl on a Linux or macOS system:

tar -xvzf fast-downward-20.06.tar.gz
cd fast-downward-20.06
./build.py
./fast-downward.py --alias lama-first /path/to/domain.pddl /path/to/problem.pddl

For dependencies and more advanced information (including Windows builds), see the build instructions.

Limitations

For licensing reasons, the binary distributions of Fast Downward have limited support for commercial LP solvers (CPLEX and Gurobi). The Docker and Singularity distributions only support SoPlex. The Vagrant version supports SoPlex and/or CPLEX if they are available at provisioning time. See QuickStart for more information.
