Well, all of these issues resulted in some work being done, even if to reach a "Won't fix" conclusion. My opinion is that releases must reflect that fact. Or, conversely, only "nothing new happened" is a reason for not providing a new release. Of course, there should be a balance between the work imposed by preparing a release, and the updated contents to be released. I think that the trade-off is already largely positive. > > > I think that it is time to lay out a road map for the next release (3.1), > > with a target date of early September (at which point, 3.0 will be 6 months > > old). > > +1 > > > The following are the more serious issues: > > MATH-836 Fraction(double, int) constructor strange behaviour: > should be solved > > > MATH-828 Unbounded solutions in Simplex Solver: > should be solved, will create another issue as follow up > > > MATH-819 Infeasible solution in Simplex Solver: > either won't fix or not a problem, user was providing very large > (unnecessary) bounds in the problem which lead to obvious > numerical problems. > > > MATH-789 Correlated random vector generator fails: > I did initial analysis, but need more information about the > implemented algorithm to fix it > > * MATH-777 More CrossoverPolicy's are needed: partly done, need to add > two more policies from the patch Thanks. > > "Wish" or "improvement" issues that miss a patch should not be blocking the > > 3.1 release. > > Some of them are still marked with 3.1 as the target version.

As these are totally new features which were not yet discussed in-depth (API etc.), I'd be tempted to think that they should be formally postponed to 3.2. In case we reach an agreement on the implementation of any of them before 3.1 is released, the "fix release" can always be modified appropriately. I'd like that this thread leads to agreed date for a feature-freeze. Of course, I'd be all for setting a date for release 3.2 too! [That would be good if you are wanting these features to appear as soon as possible in an official release.] > [...] Regards, Gilles --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
