Hi all,

A few weeks ago, I proposed to release 3.6. There were two
points I wanted to address before that, both related to
ODE. These points are now completed: the Adams methods
stability issues have been fixed, and a bunch a field-based
integrators are available.

There are 3 issues in JIRA that are tagged for 3.6:

 - MATH-1281 "Median" should not extend "Percentile"
 - MATH-1285 Description API ZipfDistribution
 - MATH-1308 Deprecate and remove "AbstractRandomGenerator"

MATH-1281 could probably not be solved in 3.6 (or in any 3.X),
so I suggest to simply retag it for 4.0 only.

MATH-1285 seems complete to me, so I suggest to resolve it.

MATH-1308 is more 4.0-oriented and subject to experimentation.
As we can do what we want in 4.0, it seems possible to *not*
deprecate the class in 3.6, even if it completely disappears
in 4.0 (furthermore as users probably are more concerned with
the upper RandomGenerator interface or the lower specific
implementations than with the intermedaite abstract class).

If you agree with this, I could cut an RC as soon as tomorrow,
targeting a release for 2016-01-01 (so I would also change the
copyright years throughout the library).

What do you think?

best regards,
Luc
