Hello,

thanks for the list. I was wondering that since there will be a new major version, this might be a good chance to modify some of the APIs / frameworks. Is this OK? For example, when I was implementing msadams and msbdf for ode-initval, I had to make some modifications to the algorithms in order to fit them into GSL ode-initval framework. It is clear that the stepper, control and evolve objects would sometimes benefit from mutual communication. Should ode-initval framework be changed so that this kind of communication is possible in future?

How long would it be before 2.0 is out, approximately? More or less than a year? It might be good idea to keep the 2.0 branch "unstable" for some time, before APIs are frozen (if changes to frameworks are OK).

Break binary compatibility, but keep source compatibility.

Does "source compatibility" mean that user interfaces / APIs should not be changed?

** Convert to BZR? (check GPG signing and integrity guarantees)

Do you mean http://bazaar-vcs.org/Bzr ?
Would this mean to abandon git?
