Hi, as for me, I can only think of new features... probably not the best time... I'll just name them for the record, to see if people would be interested - allow for higher-order Legendre-Gauss integration schemes, and indeed other Gauss-based integration schemes, - widen the panel of special functions (I find myself constantly in need of Bessel functions, for example), - add new iterative linear solvers (for the time being, only CG and SYMMLQ are implemented).
On a more practical basis, trying to help for the next release, I've quickly skimmed through the open JIRA tickets. I'm a little bit uncomfortable, because I'm very new to this library, and would fear to mess things up instead of resolving issues. However, I've found at least two of them I could probably work on quite safely : MATH-677 and MATH-707, if you think that should be planned for next release. Also, I can continue working on package distribution, to merge xxxDistribution and xxxDistributionImpl (someone please answer my post: I want to check that we agree this should be done!). Finally, I can start working on the (not-too-long) checkstyle report. Any other suggestions? Sébastien
