-    <release version="3.6" date="2016-01-05" description="
-This is a minor release: It combines bug fixes and new features.
- Changes to existing features were made in a backwards-compatible
- way such as to allow drop-in replacement of the v3.x JAR file.
-
-Most notable among the new features are:
- field-based version of Ordinary Differential Equations framework,
- numerous improvements in distributions, statistics and neuralnet packages,
- refactored implementation of microsphere interpolation algorithm,
- explicit specification of rotation convention to use (both vector
- operator and frame transform conventions are now available).
-
-The minimum version of the Java platform required to compile and use
- Commons Math is Java 5.
-
-Users are encouraged to upgrade to this version as this release not
- only includes bug fixes but also deprecates numerous classes and
- methods that will be deleted from the next major release (4.0).
-
-  Caveat:
-  1. The implementation of the BOBYQA optimization algorithm is in alpha
-  state (cf. MATH-621): Many code paths are untested, and we are looking
-  for volunteers to improve the code readability, robustness and performance
-  and to extend the unit tests suite.
-  2. A few methods in the FastMath class are in fact slower that their
-  counterpart in either Math or StrictMath (cf. MATH-740 and MATH-901).

framework.

-        BSP tree now provides an API to compute a global signed distance from

-        when the point is at the boundary. The distance is continuous
-        everywhere, so it can be used with a root solver to identify accurately

-This is a minor release: It combines bug fixes and new features.
- Changes to existing features were made in a backwards-compatible
- way such as to allow drop-in replacement of the v3.1[.1] JAR file.
-  
-Most notable among the new features are: Framework for automatic
- differentiation, Lévy distribution, prime numbers, enumerated
- distributions, real field allowing to use several algorithms
- (solvers, linear algebra, 3D geometry) with different real-like
- classes (high accuracy or automatic differentiation), spherical
- coordinates with gradients and Hessians, reorganized clustering
- package with different distance implementations.
-  
-The minimum version of the Java platform required to compile and use
- Commons Math is Java 5.
-  
-Users are encouraged to upgrade to this version as this release not
- only includes bug fixes but also deprecates numerous classes and
- methods that will be deleted from the next major release (4.0).
-  
-  Caveat:
-  1. The implementation of the BOBYQA optimization algorithm is in alpha
-  state (cf. MATH-621): Many code paths are untested, and we are looking
-  for volunteers to improve the code readability, robustness and performance
-  and to extend the unit tests suite.
-  2. A few methods in the FastMath class are in fact slower that their
-  counterpart in either Math or StrictMath (cf. MATH-740 and MATH-901).

-    <release version="3.1" date="2012-12-23" description="
-This is a minor release: It combines bug fixes and new features.
-  Changes to existing features were made in a backwards-compatible
-  way such as to allow drop-in replacement of the v3.0 JAR file.
-  
-  Most notable among the new features are: Framework for automatic
-  differentiation, multivariate mixture model distribution, quaternions,
-  Gauss integration framework, Hermite polynomial interpolation,
-  eigenvalue decomposition of non-symmetric matrices, DBSCAN clustering.
-  Most notable among the changes are: Greatly improved precision in
-  the implementation of the Gamma and Beta special functions, optimizers
-  API, deprecation of the sparse vector implementation.
-  
-  The minimal version of the Java platform required to compile and use
-  Commons Math is Java 5.
-  Users are encouraged to upgrade to this version as this release not
-  only includes bug fixes but also deprecates numerous classes and
-  methods that will be deleted from the next major release (4.0).
-  
-  Caveat:
-  1. The implementation of the BOBYQA optimization algorithm is in alpha
-  state (cf. MATH-621): Many code paths are untested, and we are looking
-  for volunteers to improve the code readability, robustness and performance
-  and to extend the unit tests suite.
-  2. A few methods in the FastMath class are in fact slower that their
-  counterpart in either Math or StrictMath (cf. MATH-740 and MATH-901).

-    <release version="3.0" date="2012-03-07" description="
-This is a major release: It combines bug fixes, new features and
-changes to existing features.
-
-Most notable among the new features are: Iterative solvers, Kalman filter,
-ISAAC RNG, Illinois and Pegasus root finders, enhanced ODE framework,
-refactored geometry package, Binary Space Partition trees.
-
-Most notable among the changes are: Exclusive use of unchecked exceptions,
-removal of interfaces for which a single implementation is assumed to exist,
-improved coding and API consistency across packages, performance (matrix
-product, FFT) and robustness (SVD).
+    <release version="1.0" date="TBD" description="
+This is the first release of Apache Commons Numbers.
 
-Because of the base package name change, this release can be used together
-with earlier versions of Commons Math.
-The minimal version of the Java platform required to compile and use
-Commons Math is Java 5.
-Users are encouraged to upgrade to this version as, in addition to new
-features, this release includes numerous bug fixes.
-Users of Commons Math 2.0-2 should recompile their code against the 3.0 JAR
-file and must adjust the import statements to use the appropriate
-org.apache.commons.math3 base package.
-Most of the compilation errors users will encounter after the switch will
-be due to moved or deleted classes/interfaces resulting from package
-reorganization.
-
-Caveat:
-1. The implementation of the BOBYQA optimization algorithm is in alpha state
-(cf. MATH-621): Many code paths are untested, and we are looking
-for volunteers to improve the code readability, robustness and performance
-and to extend the unit tests suite.
-2. A few methods in the FastMath class are in fact slower that their
-counterpart in either Math or StrictMath (cf. MATH-740).
