Yes, I see. I'm sorry to have let it slipped out of my mind, thanks to remind it to me. I'll review it. > > I note that there are some issues from much longer ago that still have > pending patches as well. At least one is years old. As the last release of commons-math was done earlier this year, we add to choose which features could be included in it and which should be postponed to next release. These choices were based on both available time to implement them and on the fact breaking API compatibility is done only on major release. This last release was a minor release: 1.2. Since then, we started work on net release: 2.0. We are still doing it. This will be a major release, with lots of new features, lots of improvements on existing features and quite a bunch of bugs fixes. This takes time. As an example, I am currently working on issues http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-157 (2 years old) and http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-220 (3 weeks old). The patch provided in MATH-157 will not be applied, the implementation will be very different, most probably based on the wonderful MRRR algorithm. This is a large amount of work as this is not a simple algorithm like the classical Golub-Reinsch algorithm. Work on stiff integration has begun, and this is also something that needs time to be completed. > > What's happening on this? Is commons-math dormant? No. It is an active project as you can see here: http://commons.markmail.org/search/math%20list:org.apache.commons.commits and here: http://commons.apache.org/math/changes-report.html (this second link is not up to date, this page was last published on July). The time resources we have are not indefinitely expandable. Many commons contributors do this on their own spare time, and commons-math is no exception. Of course, we are always happy to have new contributors, so please keep opening tickets and sending patches. regards, Luc > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
