<action dev="sebb" type="fix" issue="MATH-360">
Fix use of wrong variable in SmoothingBicubicSplineInterpolatorTest.testPreconditions()
</action>
<action dev="erans" type="update" issue="MATH-356">
Added method to clear the list of observations in CurveFitter.

Implementation of bicubic interpolation.
</action>
<action dev="psteitz" type="update" issue="MATH-332" due-to="Mikkel Meyer Andersen">
Added density functions to remaining continuous distributions (F, T, Weibull, Cauchy).
As of Math 2.1, all continuous distributions implement density functions. The HasDensity
interface has been deprecated and in version 3.0, density(double) will be added to the
ContinuousDistribution interface.
</action>
<action dev="sebb" type="update" issue="MATH-337">
Changed equals() methods to use instanceof check rather than catching ClassCastException;
this also allows some null checks to be omitted.
</action>
<action dev="sebb" type="update" issue="MATH-336">
Removed unnecessary null checks in equals methods.
</action>
<action dev="sebb" type="fix" issue="MATH-335">
Fraction.hashCode() implementation was not fully consistent with Fraction.equals().

</action>
<action dev="psteitz" type="fix" issue="MATH-282">
Resolved multiple problems leading to inaccuracy and/or failure to compute Normal,
ChiSquare and Poisson probabilities, Erf and Gamma functions. Made Brent solver
absolute accuracy configurable for all continuous distributions.

allowed to be at either interval end
</action>
<action dev="luc" type="add" >
Added a way to compute both the final state in an Initial Value Problem (IVP)
for Ordinary Differential Equations (ODE) and its derivatives with respect to
initial state and with respect to some problem parameters. This allows wrapping
ODE solvers into optimization or root finding algorithms, which in turn can be
used to solve Boundary Value Problems (BVP). There are no implementations (yet)
of BVP solvers in the library.
</action>
<action dev="luc" type="fix" issue="MATH-358" >
Fixed an error in events handling in ODE solvers. In some rare cases, events
occurring close to a step start were handled without truncating the step, making
them appear as is they occurred close to the step end
</action>
<action dev="luc" type="fix" >
Fixed a problem with getInterpolatedDerivatives returning zero derivatives when
an ODE step handler is configured to not use interpolation. It now returns a
constant but non-zero value consistent with at least one point inside the step

</release>
<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.">

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.

static instances for immutable classes Vector3D and Rotation.
</action>
<action dev="luc" type="fix">

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" >

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.
