Change to:

Do not run relaxation heuristics before presolve

[chris-maes]

It's correct as written. A "No relaxation" heuristic is one that runs without solving the LP relaxation.

[rg20]

We have grpc based remote execution that supports LP, QP, and MIP

[rgsl888prabhu]

Added GRPC to release notes

[chris-maes]

Do we want to use the term gRPC? That's not something I'm familiar with. I'm not sure if other users are familiar with it. What about just saying "RPC" or "Remote execution"

[rgsl888prabhu]

#1006 (comment)

[rgsl888prabhu]

Hmm, gRPC is well known, and however we have also mentioned remote execution. So, I feel that's good. @tmckayus for viz.

Already addressed
