              Apache Commons Numbers 1.0 RELEASE NOTES

The Apache Commons Numbers team is pleased to announce the release of
commons-numbers-parent-1.0

The Apache Commons Numbers project provides number types and utilities.

This is the first official release of Apache Commons Numbers.

Apache Commons Numbers 1.0 contains the following library modules:
 commons-numbers-angle (requires Java 8+)
 commons-numbers-arrays (requires Java 8+)
 commons-numbers-combinatorics (requires Java 8+)
 commons-numbers-complex (requires Java 8+)
 commons-numbers-core (requires Java 8+)
 commons-numbers-field (requires Java 8+)
 commons-numbers-fraction (requires Java 8+)
 commons-numbers-gamma (requires Java 8+)
 commons-numbers-primes (requires Java 8+)
 commons-numbers-quaternion (requires Java 8+)
 commons-numbers-rootfinder (requires Java 8+)
N.B. the Performance testing module requires Java 9+. (The unit tests require Java 8+)

Changes in this version include:


Fixed Bugs:
o NUMBERS-153:  Use iterative implementation of "trigamma" function. Thanks to Dmitriy Golovashkin
        for reporting. Thanks to Gilles Sadowski.
o NUMBERS-150:  "Fraction/BigFraction": Fixed pow(int) to handle Integer.MIN_VALUE and throw
        ArithmeticException for negative exponents to a fraction of zero. Thanks to Jin Xu.
o NUMBERS-147:  Fixed Fraction/BigFraction from(double, int) to support Integer.MIN_VALUE as max
        denominator. Thanks to Alex Herbert.

Changes:
o NUMBERS-163:  Combined "LinearCombination" and "Summation" into single "Sum" class. Thanks to
        Matt Juntunen.
o NUMBERS-164:  Added SortInPlace utility, original from Commons Math. Thanks to Gilles Sadowski.
o NUMBERS-159:  Moved "Norms", "LinearCombination", and "Summation" from commons-numbers-arrays
        module to commons-numbers-core module. Moved "CosAngle" from commons-numbers-arrays module
        to commons-numbers-angle module. Thanks to Matt Juntunen.
o NUMBERS-156:  Replaced "SafeNorm" with "Norms". Added "Summation" class for extended precision
        summation. Thanks to Matt Juntunen.
o NUMBERS-161:  "Angle" replaces "PlaneAngle" and "PlaneAngleRadians". Thanks to Gilles Sadowski.
o NUMBERS-158:  Replace angle normalize method with normalizer method that returns operator
        instance. Thanks to Gilles Sadowski.
o NUMBERS-157:  Adding Reduce operation originally from Commons Math to commons-numbers-angle
        module. Thanks to Gilles Sadowski.
o NUMBERS-142:  "LinearCombination": Update to use the dot2s algorithm. Avoids construction of an
        intermediate array for array dot products. Update the hi-lo splitting algorithm
        to use Dekker's split to ensure the product round-off is computed to exact precision.
        Thanks to Alex Herbert.
o NUMBERS-154:  Precision compareTo method now handles NaN properly to ensure consistent sorting.
        Thanks to Gilles Sadowski.
o NUMBERS-149:  "Fraction": Port tests from commons-lang Fraction to demonstrate functional
        compatibility between the lang and numbers implementation of Fraction. Thanks to Jin Xu.
o NUMBERS-151:  "ArithmeticUtils": Refine pow(int, int) and pow(long, int) for edge cases.
        Thanks to Jin Xu.
