[orcmid] Rather than have this run around in circles and frustrate the great work Gilles has provided in advancing Commons RNG, would it work to call it 0.9 and get it out the door? I say 0.9 because under norms for version numbers, the 0.*.* are assumed to be vulnerable to breaking changes in interfaces - signatures and behaviors. And since there is apparently some objection to the API and the prospect of breaking changes it would be nice to (1) get this work in folks' hands and (2) get to work on whatever needs to be done about the API. I am making no assumptions about the quality of the API. 0.9 is insurance until that argument and use by others can be settled. Then the API discussion can happen in some constructive place far better than the [VOTE] thread. - Dennis --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
