[Ipopt] The difference between the current implementation of Ipopt and the 2005 Math Prog A paper

Hi,

The current ipopt document says that ipopt solves the following problem.

\min_{x∈R^n} f(x)
s.t. g_L ≤ g(x) ≤ g_U
x_L ≤ x ≤ x_U

But the 2005 Math Prog A paper solves the following problem.

\min_{x∈R^n} f(x)
s.t. c(x) = 0
x_L ≤ x ≤ x_U

So there is a difference between the two. The paper only described the
equality constraints but the current implement can solve the
inequality constraints. Does anybody know whether there is a paper
describes all the current implementation details? (If not, what part
in the paper is still relevant to the current implementation and what
part is not relevant any more?) Thanks.
