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> Alex
