New objective "earliest-end-date" about vrp HOT 4 CLOSED

Yes, it can happen and I think it can be solved by adding a custom objective function which will try to minimize a sum of tour arrival times. At the moment, it is not there in pragmatic format

from vrp.

Can you add such objective function in the near future or is it not planned? I never programmed anything in rust otherwise i would give it a try.

I can implement such global objective a bit later after my current task, but it might be not enough for some problems as the simple implementation will guide the search only on solution comparison level. This won't be enough for large problems as it might require more time to redistribute jobs. Alternative solution could be pre-processing on client side and splitting problems into multiple according to shift times (of course, can be done internally too with more sophisticated implementation).

Some functionality is added here: 31ac6ad
