A new version of the GNU Linear Programming Kit (GLPK)  has been released – see here for GLPK tutorials. An updated version of the GUSEK windows GUI will follow probably soon. From the release notes:

GLPK 4.41 — Release Information
********************************

Release date: Dec 21, 2009

GLPK (GNU Linear Programming Kit) is intended for solving large-scale
linear programming (LP), mixed integer linear programming (MIP), and
other related problems. It is a set of routines written in ANSI C and
organized as a callable library.

In this release:

The following new API routines were added:

glp_transform_row     transform explicitly specified row
glp_transform_col     transform explicitly specified column
glp_prim_rtest        perform primal ratio test
glp_dual_rtest        perform dual ratio test

For description of these new routines see a new edition of the
reference manual included in the distribution.

The following API routines are deprecated: lpx_transform_row,
lpx_transform_col, lpx_prim_ratio_test, lpx_dual_ratio_test.

Some improvements were made in the MIP solver (glp_intopt).

The SQL table driver used to read/write data in MathProg models
was changed to allow multiple arguments separated by semicolon
in SQL statements. Thanks to Xypron <xypron.glpk@gmx.de>.

Two new options were added to the glpsol stand-alone solver:
–seed value (to initialize the pseudo-random number generator
used in MathProg models with specified value), and
–ini filename (to use a basis previously saved with -w option
as an initial basis on solving similar LP’s).

Two new MathProg example models were included. Thanks to
Nigel Galloway <nigel_galloway@operamail.com> and Noli Sicad
<nsicad@gmail.com> for contribution.

Scripts to build GLPK with Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 for
both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows were included. Thanks to Xypron
<xypron.glpk@gmx.de> for contribution and testing.

See GLPK web page at <http://www.gnu.org/software/glpk/glpk.html>.

GLPK distribution can be ftp’ed from <ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/glpk/> or
from some mirror ftp sites; see <http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html>.

UPDATE (01.01.2010): New version of GUSEK is also available:

I’ve updated the Gusek project on SourceForge:
http://gusek.sourceforge.net

Release 0.2.8 changes:
- GLPK updated to 4.41.
- Added Java files support (as in native SciTE).
- Added gnuplot files support (testing – thanks to Noli Sicad).

Gusek provide an open source LP/MILP IDE for Win32,
packing a custom version of the SciTE editor linked to the
GLPK standalone solver (glpsol.exe).

Best Regards (and happy new year!),
