Dear John, I am sorry you felt uneasy when reading my post. I am sometimes a bit ironic, but please consider that irony is a friendly and sympathetic way to look at things. A pity you couldn't laugh about the comparison with Perl. (I never use smileys.)
I followed your advice and, unintendedly being transferred to 0.4, managed to move back to 0.3.1 -- at the price that some packages (like Cbc) don't build anymore at the moment. Still I think it is unfortunate to keep interested and adventurous users away from a development version. About the names I feel stricter. I don't like terms like 'Nullable' or 'NullableArrays' (for 'DataArrays'?), terms than seem to fit better for a systems programming language than for a technical computing environment. I will get used to them, no problem. On Friday, September 26, 2014 4:12:39 PM UTC+2, John Myles White wrote: > > Hans, > > The tone of your e-mail is a little odd in my opinion.
