CaNNOLeS - Constrained and NoNlinear Optimizer of Least Squares
CaNNOLeS is a solver for equality-constrained nonlinear least-squares problems, i.e., optimization problems of the form
min ¹/₂‖F(x)‖² s. to c(x) = 0.
It uses other JuliaSmoothOptimizers packages for development.
In particular, NLPModels.jl is used for defining the problem, and SolverCore for the output.
It also uses HSL.jl's MA57
as main solver, but you can pass linsolve=:ldlfactorizations
to use LDLFactorizations.jl.

Examples
using CaNNOLeS, ADNLPModels
# Rosenbrock
nls = ADNLSModel(x -> [x[1] - 1; 10 * (x[2] - x[1]^2)], [-1.2; 1.0], 2)
stats = cannoles(nls)
