This change is a little weird.
We discussed about this field back in january
(http://markmail.org/message/45y6znvvg2ucauwa) and decided to deprecate it
before changing it to private static.
We forgot to mark it deprecated while releasing 1.2.
Since 2.0 will introduce other incompatible changes, I thought it was time to
make the change and went ahead with the modification. I feel uncomfortable with
this though, because users have not been warned about this (however, I'm not
sure anybody relied on the availability of this protected field).
There is another change that bother me: we did not deprecate either the
UnivariateRealSolverFactory class and did not replace it by setter injection in
1.2, as we have done for other algorithms.
Do you think we should:
1) revert the change and go back to a protected field, not
forgetting to mark it as deprecated and removing it in 3.0
2) go ahead and only apologize about forgotten deprecation mark
(and also replace UnivariateRealSolverFactory in the same move)
3) do a 1.3 release only in order to add the forgotten deprecation
Choice 1 is the most conservative one, but means we will keep dirty code for a
long time. Choice 2 is my personal preference, it is rather rude but I think we
made a mistake and have to assume it. Choice 3 seems realistic only if we
release 1.3 very soon to let users take these deprecations onto account and wait
some time before 2.0, I don't like it because 2.0 is really badly needed for the
features it will bring.
