It is one of very few natural problems that is in NP but believed to be neither in P nor NP-complete. Babai's quasipolynomial algorithm was the biggest advance in decades. A bug found in 2017 was fixed within days. Whether polynomial time is possible is open.

Closed 2015, László Babai: quasipolynomial time.
