I think RNG is ready for a release.
In 1.5 the multi-module project rearranges a few methods to default
interface methods in a different module. This is binary compatible. However
it requires that all versions of the modules are matched. If the other
modules are explicitly imported by a transitive dependency as a lower
version then this will cause a runtime error due to missing methods.
I suggest we create a Bill of Materials (BOM) as a separate artifact to be
deployed to maven for dependency management. Downstream users can then
include this in their POM and all versions of the RNG modules would be
matched.
<dependencyManagement>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.commons</groupId>
<artifactId>commons-rng-bom</artifactId>
<version>1.5</version>
<type>pom</type>
<scope>import</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>
