183 errors ... Well this may seem very large, but there are a few categories that contribute a lot to this large number. Some changes are mainly internal like exception constructors. Some changes correspond to deprecated APIs that were purged. Several related sets of classes were moved together in sub-packages. There are also additions to interfaces for which we don't expect users to provide their own implementations (the most typical case is RealMatrix). >From the very beginning, we had decided it will be a major release and didn't refrain to add incompatible changes, putting them all in one release to make sure we have a very clean start version for 2.x. As far as I am concerned, the old package name would be fine. However, it seems the policy for such changes is now to change these names, and lots of good arguments have been presented recently, so I thought we should follow the general trend and good advices. So let's vote on this proposal: change the top level package name on [math] from org.apache.commons.math to org.apache.commons.math2. [] +1 change the top level package name [] 0 I don't care [] -1 keep the old name Vote open for 72 hours (up to Friday May 19th 20h00 UTC) Luc --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
