Gilles updated RNG-46:
----------------------
Summary: Benign incompatibility (?) (was: Benign binary incompatibility
(?))
> Benign incompatibility (?)
> --------------------------
>
> Key: RNG-46
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RNG-46
> Project: Commons RNG
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Gilles
> Priority: Blocker
> Labels: compatibility, incompatibility
> Fix For: 1.1
>
>
> Clirr reports this error:
> {{Removed org.apache.commons.rng.sampling.distribution.SamplerBase from the
> list of superclasses}}
> for this class:
> {{org.apache.commons.rng.sampling.distribution.BoxMullerLogNormalSampler}}
> It is quite true.
> However, no functionality inherited from {{SamplerBase}} could have been used
> since a {{null}} was passed to its constructor (i.e. any call to a method
> from the base class would trigger a {{NullPointerException}}).
> Moreover:
> * {{SamplerBase}} is only meant for internal usage,
> * it only contains {{protected}} methods,
> * {{BoxMullerLogNormalSampler}} is going to be flagged as {{@deprecated}} in
> the next release.
> Hence, I think that it is quite safe to release a 1.1 version (i.e. no change
> in major number!) despite this incompatibility.
> Please confirm.
