This file is used by the maven-changes-plugin to generate the release notes.
Useful ways of finding items to add to this file are:
1. Add items when you fix a bug or add a feature (this makes the
release process easy :-).
2. Do a JIRA search for tickets closed since the previous release.
3. Use the report generated by the maven-changelog-plugin to see all
SVN commits. TBA how to use this with SVN.
To generate the release notes from this file:
mvn changes:announcement-generate
mv target/announcement/RELEASE_NOTES.txt RELEASE_NOTES.txt
then tweak the formatting
(e.g. copy/paste the description to replace the one-line version)
and commit

<release version="3.0" date="2012-03-07" description="
This is a major release: It combines bug fixes, new features and
changes to existing features.
Most notable among the new features are: Iterative solvers, Kalman filter,
ISAAC RNG, Illinois and Pegasus root finders, enhanced ODE framework,
refactored geometry package, Binary Space Partition trees.
Most notable among the changes are: Exclusive use of unchecked exceptions,
removal of interfaces for which a single implementation is assumed to exist,
improved coding and API consistency across packages, performance (matrix
product, FFT) and robustness (SVD).
Because of the base package name change, this release can be used together
with earlier versions of Commons Math.
The minimal version of the Java platform required to compile and use
Commons Math is Java 5.
Users are encouraged to upgrade to this version as, in addition to new
features, this release includes numerous bug fixes.
Users of Commons Math 2.0-2 should recompile their code against the 3.0 JAR
file and must adjust the import statements to use the appropriate
org.apache.commons.math3 base package.
Most of the compilation errors users will encounter after the switch will
be due to moved or deleted classes/interfaces resulting from package
reorganization.
Caveat:
1. The implementation of the BOBYQA optimization algorithm is in alpha state
(cf. MATH-621): Many code paths are untested, and we are looking
for volunteers to improve the code readability, robustness and performance
and to extend the unit tests suite.
2. A few methods in the FastMath class are in fact slower that their
counterpart in either Math or StrictMath (cf. MATH-740).

<release version="2.2" date="2011-03-02" description="
This is primarily a maintenance release, but it also includes new features and enhancements.
Users of version 2.1 are encouraged to upgrade to 2.2, as this release includes some important bug fixes.
See the detailed list of changes below for full description of all bug fixes and enhancements.
This release contains some minor compatibility breaks with version 2.1 in some internal classes but none
of them are in APIs likely to be accessed by user code:
the MessagesResources_fr class has been removed (replaced by a properties file);
the arguments of the EventState.reinitializeBegin method have changed;
some protected fields which already had public accessors in AbstractStepInterpolator have been replaced.
There is a behavior change that users of the multiple regression classes should be aware of. In version
2.1, there was no way to estimate models without intercept terms, and, while this was not clear from
the documentation, design (X) matrices needed to include initial unitary columns. In 2.2, initial
unitary columns are not necessary and whether or not models include intercept terms is configurable.
See the change log and javadoc for the classes in org.apache.commons.math3.stat.regression for details.
The major new features are:
a new FastMath class, both faster, more accurate and with a few additional functions than StrictMath and Math;
a new package for floating point arbitrary precision computing, including high level functions like exponential, sine, square root ...;
new linear and tricubic interpolators;
a new Gaussian curve fitter;
a new erfc function;
characteristic support for distributions;
a set of new Well Equidistributed Long-period Linear (WELL) random generators.">

Fixed lost cause in MathRuntimeException.createInternalError. Note that
the message is still the default message for internal errors asking to
report a bug to Commons Math JIRA tracker. In order to retrieve the
message from the root cause, one has to get the cause itself by getCause().
</action>
<action dev="psteitz" type="fix" issue="MATH-411">
Modified multiple regression newSample methods to ensure that by default
in all cases, regression models are estimated with intercept terms.
Prior to the fix for this issue, newXSampleData(double[][]),
newSampleData(double[], double[][]) and newSampleData(double[], double[][], double[][])
all required columns of "1's" to be inserted into the x[][] arrays to
create a model with an intercept term; while newSampleData(double[], int, int)
created a model including an intercept term without requiring the
unitary column. All methods have been changed to eliminate the need for
users to add unitary columns to specify regression models.
Users of OLSMultipleLinearRegression or GLSMultipleLinearRegression
versions 2.0 or 2.1 should either verify that their code either does
not use the first set of data loading methods above or set the noIntercept
property on estimated models to get the previous behavior.

Added the dfp library providing arbitrary precision floating point computation in the spirit of
IEEE 854-1987 (not exactly as it uses base 1000 instead of base 10). In addition to finite numbers,
infinities and NaNs are available (but there are no subnormals). All IEEE 854-1987 rounding modes and
signaling flags are supported. The available operations are +, -, *, / and the available functions
are sqrt, sin, cos, tan, asin, acos, atan, exp, log.

Added faster and more accurate version of traditional mathematical functions in a FastMath
class intended to be a drop-in replacement for java.util.Math at source-level. Some functions
still directly delegates to Math but this will improve with time. Some functions like exp
may be twice as fast (even 3 times faster on some processors). Sine, cosine or power functions
show typical speedups of 1.5 times faster or more.

<release version="2.0" date="2009-08-03" description="
This is a major release. It combines bug fixes, new features and
changes to existing features. Most notable among the new features are:
decomposition algorithms in the linear algebra package (LU, QR, Cholesky,
SVD, eigen decomposition) which are based on the popular JAMA API (but
much faster); support for sparse matrices and vectors;
support for any field-based matrix (Complex, Fraction ...);
support for genetic algorithms;
several new optimization algorithms (Dantzig's simplex for linear
constrained problems, conjugate gradient, Brent);
support for curve fitting with special cases for harmonic and polynomial
functions;
support for state derivative in ODE step handlers;
new multistep integrators (Adams-Bashforth and Adams-Moulton) with
variable stepsize;
regression algorithms;
rank transformations;
Mersenne twister pseudo random number generator.
This release is NOT source and binary compatible with earlier versions
of Commons Math. Starting with version 2.0 of the library, the minimal
version of the Java platform required to compile and use Commons Math
is Java 5. Users are encouraged to upgrade to this version, as in addition
to new features, this release includes numerous bug fixes. Users of
Commons Math 1.0-1.2 should recompile their code against the 2.0 jar.
Most of the compilation errors users will encounter after the switch
will be due to classes moved due to package reorganization. These errors
are simply solved by adjusting the import statements in users code.">

as required by IEEE-754 standard.
</action>
<action dev="luc" type="add" issue="MATH-220">
Added JAMA-like interfaces for eigen/singular problems. The implementation
are based on the very quick dqd/dqds algorithms and some parts of the MRRR
algorithm. This leads to very fast and accurate solutions.
</action>
<action dev="luc" type="add" issue="MATH-220" >
Added JAMA-like interfaces for decomposition algorithms. These interfaces
decompose a matrix as a product of several other matrices with predefined
properties and shapes depending on the algorithm. These algorithms allow to
solve the equation A * X = B, either for an exact linear solution

solution (QR-decomposition).
</action>
<action dev="luc" type="add" issue="MATH-219" due-to="Andrew Berry">

to support regression calculations across a sliding window of (time-based)

</action>
<action dev="luc" type="add" due-to="Andreas Rieger">
Support for one dimensional vectors has been added to the linear algebra
package with a RealVector interface, a RealVectorImpl default implementation
using a single double array to store elements and a RealVectorFormat for
input/output.
</action>
<action dev="psteitz" type="update" issue="MATH-217">
Changed OLS regression implementation added in MATH-203 to use
QR decomposition to solve the normal equations.
</action>
<action dev="luc" type="add">
New ODE integrators have been added: the explicit Adams-Bashforth and implicit
Adams-Moulton multistep methods. As the implementations of these methods are based
on Nordsieck vector rather than a traditional array of previous steps, they both
have been improved to handle adaptive stepsize. These methods provide the same rich
features has the existing ones: continuous output, step handlers, discrete events,
G-stop ...
</action>
<action dev="luc" type="fix" issue="MATH-214" >
Replaced size adjustment of all steps of fixed steps Runge-Kutta integrators by
a truncation of the last step only.
</action>
<action dev="luc" type="update">
The ODE integrators now support several step handlers at once, instead of just one.
This is more consistent with event handlers management.
The setStepHandler method has therefore been replaced by addStephandler, the
getStepHandler method has been replaced by getStepHandlers which returns a Collection
and a clearStepHandlers method has been added.
</action>
<action dev="luc" type="add">
All ODE integrators now support setting a maximal number of evaluations of differential
equations function. If this number is exceeded, an exception will be thrown during
integration. This can be used to prevent infinite loops if for example error control or
discrete events create a really large number of extremely small steps.
</action>
<action dev="luc" type="add">
All step interpolators for ODE integrators now provide interpolation for
both the state and its time derivatives. The interpolated derivatives are
the exact derivatives of the interpolated state, thus preserving consistency.
The general step handlers hence do not need to call the derivation function
anymore. The fixed step handlers also get the time derivative of the state
as an additional argument along with the state when they are called.
</action>
<action dev="luc" type="fix" issue="MATH-213" >
Changed return type for FirstOrderIntegrator.integrate() to double
in order to retrieve exact stop time. This allows to handle properly
integration interruption due to an EventHandler instance asking to
stop the integration when its associated event is triggered. The state
was already set to the current state at interruption time, but it was
difficult to get the corresponding time (it involved setting a step
handler monitoring the last step specially).
</action>
<action dev="luc" type="update" >
Events handlers in the ODE package now also provide the switching function
variation (increasing/decreasing) when an event occurs
</action>
<action dev="luc" type="update">
Clarified the ODE package by breaking in into several sub-packages and renaming
classes (SwitchingFunctions/EventHandler, SwitchingFunctionsHandler/CombinedEventsManager)
</action>
<action dev="luc" type="fix" issue="MATH-210" >
Changed return type for FirstOrderIntegrator.getSwitchingFunctions()
to a collection of SwitchingFunction instances. This better suits the
intended use of the method and fixes a visibility error since the
previous return type referenced the package private SwitchState class.
</action>
<action dev="luc" type="fix" issue="MATH-209" due-to="Thomas Chust">
Fixed dimension error on output vector for the operate method
in RealMatrixImpl and BigMatrixImpl classes.
</action>
<action dev="luc" type="update">
The FirstOrderDifferentialEquations, FirstOrderIntegrator and FixedStepHandler
interfaces now extends Serializable, allowing integrators, problems and
handlers to be embedded into users Serializable classes.
</action>
<action dev="luc" type="add">
Added several convenience methods and constants for Vector3D and Rotation.
</action>
<action dev="luc" type="update">
Replaced public no argument constructors with IDENTITY or ZERO
static instances for immutable classes Vector3D and Rotation.
</action>
<action dev="luc" type="fix">
Fixed inconsistencies in the naming scheme for static fields in
Vector3D and Rotation with respect to the overall library.
</action>
<action dev="luc" type="update" >
Greatly improved RealMatrixImpl and BigMatrixImpl performances,
both in terms of speed and in terms of temporary memory footprint.
</action>
<action dev="luc" type="add" issue="MATH-203" due-to="Mauro Talevi">
Added Mauro's patch to support multiple regression.
</action>
<action dev="luc" type="update" >
Starting with version 2.0 of the library, the minimal version of the Java
platform required to compile and use Commons Math is Java 5. This version
is widely deployed now on many systems. It brings new important features
for specific mathematical developments, for example new functions (log10,
cbrt, ulp, signum, cosh, sinh, tanh, hypot, expm1, log1p), autoboxing,
MathContext or RoundingMode. It also brings important features for general
development, for example enums, generics or annotations.
</action>
<action dev="luc" type="add" >
Switching functions can now throw dedicated SwitchException from all their
method. At upper call level, the various ODE integrators handle these new
exceptions and wrap them into IntegratorException instances, hence the
integrators methods signature did not change.
</action>
<action dev="luc" type="add" issue="MATH-202">
Added the getSwitchingFunctions and clearSwitchingFunctions to the
FirstOrderIntegrator interface and all its implementations
</action>
<action dev="luc" type="update" >
Removed deprecated features. This includes the following changes. Factory-based
instantiation replaced by setter injection in 1.2 in several classes have been
removed. Protected fields in matrices implementations have been declared final
and private. Identity factory methods moved to MatrixUtils class have been
removed. Complex utilities methods that have been superseded by Complex instance
methods have been removed.
