Apache Commons Math Release Notes

Release History

Version Date Description
TBD TBD TBD
4.0-beta1 2022-12-20 This is a major release that requires source changes in applications. Lower-level functionality has been split off to new components, often with bug-fixes, performance enhancements and improved API: Commons RNG, Commons Numbers, Commons Geometry, Commons Statistics. Functionality still within Commons Math has been modularized and partly refactored. This is a work-in-progress (help welcome). Codes for which the refactoring has not been undertaken (or was deemed incomplete) have been moved to 'legacy' modules. The minimum version of the Java platform required to compile and use Commons Math is Java 8. Users are encouraged to upgrade to this version, and to the new components listed above (they are now Commons Math's dependencies). For code now located in the 'commons-math-legacy' module, upgrading will be a matter of changing the top-level package name: From 'org.apache.commons.math3' to 'org.apache.commons.math4.legacy'. Code in the 'commons-math-legacy-core' module comprise classes that moved from package 'org.apache.commons.math3' and package 'org.apache.commons.math3.util' (e.g. 'MathArrays') to package 'org.apache.commons.math4.legacy.core'. Notes: Class 'FastMath' was renamed 'AccurateMath' (now located in package 'org.apache.commons.math4.legacy.core.jdkmath'). Caveat: Although hundreds of issues have been fixed (see 'git log' and the reports in the bug-tracking system of all the listed components), many remain due to the lack of human resources necessary in order to support the whole codebase (it was one of the main reasons for creating more focused components).
3.6.1 2016-03-21 This is a minor bug fix release. It incorporates three bug fixes since version 3.6. The minimum version of the Java platform required to compile and use Commons Math 3.6.1 is Java 5.
3.6 2016-01-05 This is a minor release: It combines bug fixes and new features. Changes to existing features were made in a backwards-compatible way such as to allow drop-in replacement of the v3.x JAR file. Most notable among the new features are: field-based version of Ordinary Differential Equations framework, numerous improvements in distributions, statistics and neuralnet packages, refactored implementation of microsphere interpolation algorithm, explicit specification of rotation convention to use (both vector operator and frame transform conventions are now available). The minimum version of the Java platform required to compile and use Commons Math is Java 5. Users are encouraged to upgrade to this version as this release not only includes bug fixes but also deprecates numerous classes and methods that will be deleted from the next major release (4.0). Caveat: 1. The implementation of the BOBYQA optimization algorithm is in alpha state (cf. MATH-621): Many code paths are untested, and we are looking for volunteers to improve the code readability, robustness and performance and to extend the unit tests suite. 2. A few methods in the FastMath class are in fact slower that their counterpart in either Math or StrictMath (cf. MATH-740 and MATH-901).
3.5 2015-04-17 This is a minor release: It combines bug fixes and new features. Changes to existing features were made in a backwards-compatible way such as to allow drop-in replacement of the v3.4.1 JAR file. Most notable among the new features are: getQuadraticMean method added to DescriptiveStatistics SummaryStatistics which calculates the root mean square, and a way to build polyhedrons sets from list of vertices and the facets they belong too. There have been numerous bug fixes. See below for a full list. The minimum version of the Java platform required to compile and use Apache Commons Math is Java 5. Users are encouraged to upgrade to this version as this release not only includes bug fixes but also deprecates numerous classes and methods that will be deleted from the next major release (4.0). Caveat: 1. The implementation of the BOBYQA optimization algorithm is in alpha state (cf. MATH-621): Many code paths are untested, and we are looking for volunteers to improve the code readability, robustness and performance and to extend the unit tests suite. 2. A few methods in the FastMath class are in fact slower that their counterpart in either Math or StrictMath (cf. MATH-740 and MATH-901).
3.4.1 2015-01-11 This is a maintenance release: It fixes issue MATH-1188.
3.4 2014-12-26 This is a minor release: It combines bug fixes and new features. Changes to existing features were made in a backwards-compatible way such as to allow drop-in replacement of the v3.3 JAR file. Most notable among the new features are: new distributions (Gumbel, Laplace, Logistic, Nakagami), and improvements on percentiles algorithms (better handling for NaNs in the regular algorithm, plus a new storeless implementation). Bicubic and tricubic interpolators have been fixed and new implementations added. There have been numerous bug fixes and several improvements on performances or robustness. See below for a full list. The minimum version of the Java platform required to compile and use Apache Commons Math is Java 5. Users are encouraged to upgrade to this version as this release not only includes bug fixes but also deprecates numerous classes and methods that will be deleted from the next major release (4.0). Caveat: 1. The implementation of the BOBYQA optimization algorithm is in alpha state (cf.

The minimum version of the Java platform required to compile and use Commons Math is Java 5. Users are encouraged to upgrade to this version as this release not only includes bug fixes but also deprecates numerous classes and methods that will be deleted from the next major release (4.0). Caveat: 1. The implementation of the BOBYQA optimization algorithm is in alpha state (cf. MATH-621): Many code paths are untested, and we are looking for volunteers to improve the code readability, robustness and performance and to extend the unit tests suite. 2. A few methods in the FastMath class are in fact slower that their counterpart in either Math or StrictMath (cf. MATH-740 and MATH-901). 3. A few methods/constructors in the package o.a.c.m.geometry.partitioning have changed their signature in a non backwards-compatible way. The respective classes are intended to be package private only and are not supposed to be used for other purposes.
3.2 2013-04-06 This is a minor release: It combines bug fixes and new features. Changes to existing features were made in a backwards-compatible way such as to allow drop-in replacement of the v3.1[.1] JAR file.

3.0 2012-03-07 This is a major release: It combines bug fixes, new features and changes to existing features. Most notable among the new features are: Iterative solvers, Kalman filter, ISAAC RNG, Illinois and Pegasus root finders, enhanced ODE framework, refactored geometry package, Binary Space Partition trees. Most notable among the changes are: Exclusive use of unchecked exceptions, removal of interfaces for which a single implementation is assumed to exist, improved coding and API consistency across packages, performance (matrix product, FFT) and robustness (SVD). Because of the base package name change, this release can be used together with earlier versions of Commons Math. 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 2.0-2 should recompile their code against the 3.0 JAR file and must adjust the import statements to use the appropriate org.apache.commons.math3 base package. Most of the compilation errors users will encounter after the switch will be due to moved or deleted classes/interfaces resulting from package reorganization. Caveat: 1. The implementation of the BOBYQA optimization algorithm is in alpha state (cf. MATH-621): Many code paths are untested, and we are looking for volunteers to improve the code readability, robustness and performance and to extend the unit tests suite. 2. A few methods in the FastMath class are in fact slower that their counterpart in either Math or StrictMath (cf. MATH-740).
2.2 2011-03-02 This is primarily a maintenance release, but it also includes new features and enhancements. Users of version 2.1 are encouraged to upgrade to 2.2, as this release includes some important bug fixes. See the detailed list of changes below for full description of all bug fixes and enhancements. This release contains some minor compatibility breaks with version 2.1 in some internal classes but none of them are in APIs likely to be accessed by user code: the MessagesResources_fr class has been removed (replaced by a properties file); the arguments of the EventState.reinitializeBegin method have changed; some protected fields which already had public accessors in AbstractStepInterpolator have been replaced. There is a behavior change that users of the multiple regression classes should be aware of. In version 2.1, there was no way to estimate models without intercept terms, and, while this was not clear from the documentation, design (X) matrices needed to include initial unitary columns. In 2.2, initial unitary columns are not necessary and whether or not models include intercept terms is configurable. See the change log and javadoc for the classes in org.apache.commons.math3.stat.regression for details. The major new features are: a new FastMath class, both faster, more accurate and with a few additional functions than StrictMath and Math; a new package for floating point arbitrary precision computing, including high level functions like exponential, sine, square root ...; new linear and tricubic interpolators; a new Gaussian curve fitter; a new erfc function; characteristic support for distributions; a set of new Well Equidistributed Long-period Linear (WELL) random generators.
2.1 2010-04-02 This is primarily a maintenance release, but it also includes new features and enhancements. Users of version 2.0 are encouraged to upgrade to 2.1, as this release includes some important bug fixes. See the detailed list of changes below for full description of all bug fixes and enhancements. This release contains some minor API compatibility breaks with version 2.0: the return type of RealVector.copy() has been changed to AbstractRealVector; the no-argument constructor of MatrixUtils() has been made private; the mapXxxToSelf methods of OpenMapRealVector have been removed and some method return types have been changed in this class; new methods have been added to the RealVector interface; several fields in AdaptiveStepSizeIntegrator have been made final; DummyStepInterpolator requires an additional argument for one of its constructors; some protected fields have been removed from AbstractLeastSquaresOptimizer, AbstractScalarDifferentiableOptimizer and AbstractLinearOptimizer; and the isOptimal(SimplexTableau) method has been removed from SimplexSolver.
2.0 2009-08-03 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.
1.2 2008-02-24 This release combines bug fixes and new features. Most notable among the new features are the estimation, optimization, geometry and ode packages added from the Mantissa library. Implementations of fast Fourier transform, QR decomposition and several numerical integration algorithms have also been added, along with enhancements and extensions to packages included in Commons Math 1.1. This release is source and binary compatible with earlier versions of Commons Math.
1.1 2005-12-17 This is a maintenance release containing bug fixes and enhancements. All API changes are binary compatible with version 1.0. The enhancements include some new probability distributions, a Fraction class, new matrix and numerical utilities, and a PRNG pluggability framework making it possible to replace the JDK-supplied random number generator in Commons Math (and elsewhere) with alternative PRNG implementations.

Release 3.6.1 – 2016-03-21

Type Changes By
Update Add uniformity unit tests to "RandomGeneratorAbstractTest". Fixes MATH-1317. psteitz
Fix Fix code example in User Guide > Statistics > Multiple linear regression. Fixes MATH-1316. psteitz
Fix Fix ODE integrators when multiple events are nearly simultaneous. Fixes MATH-1342. evan

Release 3.6 – 2016-01-05

Add A complete generic implementation of Binary Space Partitioning Trees (BSP trees) has been added. A few specializations of this implementation are also provided for 1D, 2D and 3D Euclidean geometry. This allows support for arbitrary intervals sets (1D), polygons sets (2D) and polyhedrons sets (3D) with all sets operations (union, intersection, symmetric difference, difference, complement), with predicates (point inside/outside/on boundary, emptiness, other region contained), with geometrical computation (barycenter, size, boundary size) and with conversions from and to boundary representation. Fixes MATH-576. luc
Fix Avoid some array copying in add and subtract ArrayFieldVector. Fixes MATH-573. luc
Fix Fixed an unused constructor parameter in ArrayFieldVector. Fixes MATH-572. luc

Add Fixed conversion problems to/from 0 in Decimal Floating Point (Dfp) class. Fixes MATH-567. Thanks to Michel. luc
Fix Fixed initialization of multistep ODE integrators. Relying on the interpolation model of the starter integrator inside only one step was wrong. The model may have a too low order to compute high degrees derivatives in the Nordsieck vector. Now we use several steps and use only grid points instead of interpolated points. luc
Add Added solve methods using double[][] to linear algebra decomposition solvers. Fixes MATH-564. luc
Add Added an interpolator adapter for data with known period. Fixes MATH-562. erans
Add Added a "rectangular" Cholesky decomposition for positive semidefinite matrices. Fixes MATH-541. luc

Fix Reduced cancellation errors in Vector3D.crossProduct. Fixes MATH-554. luc
Fix Fixed bug in "MultidimensionalCounter". Fixes MATH-552. Thanks to James Bence. erans

Fix Removed "ParametricGaussianFunction" (in package "optimization.fitting"); functionality moved to class "Gaussian" (in package "analysis.function"). Fixes MATH-514. erans
Update Refactored "GaussianFitter" (in package "optimization.fitting"). The class now really fits a Gaussian function (whereas previously it was fitting the sum of a constant and a Gaussian). Fixes MATH-512. Thanks to Ole Ersoy. erans
Fix Implementation of the CMA-ES optimization algorithm. Fixes MATH-442. Thanks to Dietmar Wolz. erans
Fix The interface "ParametricRealFunction" (in package "optimization.fitting") has been renamed to "ParametricUnivariateRealFunction" and moved to package "analysis". Fixes MATH-513. erans

Fix Removed "MathException" from the "throws" clause of the "interpolate" method of the interpolators interfaces (package "analysis.interpolation"). Fixes MATH-458. erans
Fix In order to comply with the new runtime exceptions policy, the classes "RealVectorFormat", "ComplexFormat", "Vector3DFormat" and "CompositeFormat" do not inherit anymore from the Java standard "Format" class. Failed parsing will result in the throwing of a "MathParseException". "CompositeFormat" is now a utility class ("private" constructor). Fixes MATH-461. erans
Fix By policy, all Commons Math exceptions must inherit from class "MathRuntimeException". Fixes MATH-447. erans
Fix For optimizers (package "optimization"), the number of allowed function evaluations is passed as a parameter to the "optimize" method. Fixes MATH-454. erans
Fix For solvers (package "analysis.solvers"), the number of allowed function evaluations is passed as a parameter to the "solve" method. Fixes MATH-451. erans
Fix Created a "MathRuntimeException" to serve as a base class for exception types that need to wrap another (lower-level) exception. Fixes MATH-447. erans

Fix All distribution classes (in package "distribution") are immutable. Fixes MATH-349. erans
Update Created an unchecked "FunctionEvaluationException". Modified the "UnivariateRealFunction" interface: Removed the checked "FunctionEvaluationException" from the signature of the "value" method. Fixes MATH-195. erans
Update Modified semantics: "equals" methods now consider that NaNs are not equal (compliant with IEEE754). Also, two adjacent floating point numbers are considered equal (this is consistent with the fact that all real numbers between them can be represented by either of the two). One consequence of that is that "equals" is not transitive. Fixes MATH-370. erans
Update Removed methods referring to the concept of "iteration". Removed interface methods to access the number of evaluations of the gradient and Jacobian. Added new "Incrementor" utility to be used as a bounded counter for objective function evaluations. Removed all references to "OptimizationException" (replaced by "ConvergenceException"). Fixes MATH-397. erans
Update Modified "AbstractUnivariateRealOptimizer" to make it more similar to "BaseAbstractScalarOptimizer". Added utility methods in "ConvergingAlgorithmImpl". Fixes MATH-397. erans
Update Refactoring of some classes in package "optimization.general" to remove code duplication and to allow the implementation of optimization algorithms that do not use derivatives. Created interface "BaseMultivariateRealOptimizer". Created classes "BaseAbstractScalarOptimizer" and "AbstractScalarOptimizer". "MultivariateRealOptimizer" and "DifferentiableMultivariateRealOptimizer" both extend "BaseMultivariateRealOptimizer". "AbstractScalarOptimizer" extends "BaseAbstractScalarOptimizer" and "AbstractScalarDifferentiableOptimizer" inherits from "AbstractScalarOptimizer". Fixes MATH-389. erans

Release 2.2 – 2011-03-02

Type Changes By
Fix FastMath is not an exact replacement for StrictMath (partially fixed) added scalb(double, int), scalb(float, int). Fixes MATH-498. luc
Fix FastMath is not an exact replacement for StrictMath (partially fixed) added hypot(double, double), nextAfter(double, double) and nextAfter(float,double) (beware of the strange double second argument) so that they handle special values in the way as StrictMath. Fixes MATH-478. luc
Fix FastMath is not an exact replacement for StrictMath (partially fixed) added getExponent(double) and getExponent(float). Fixes MATH-497. luc
Fix FastMath is not an exact replacement for StrictMath (partially fixed) Add copySign(double), copySign(float). Fixes MATH-496. sebb
Fix separate discrete event detection from adaptive step size handling in ODE solvers, thus improving robustness, maintainability and speed. Fixes MATH-484. luc
Fix Fixed an awkward statement that triggered a false positive warning. Fixes MATH-467. luc
Update Added complementary error function, erfc. Fixes MATH-364. Thanks to Christian Winter. psteitz
Fix Modified erf (and erfc) to return extreme values for x with abs(x) > 40. For these arguments, the true value is indistinguishable from an extrema as a double. Fixes MATH-456. psteitz
Update Added characteristic support to distributions, including methods to return numerical estimates of the mean and variance and upper and lower bounds of support. In version 2.2, methods returning distribution characteristics have been added only to the implementation classes. In version 3, supporting methods have been added to the abstract base classes and distribution interfaces. Fixes MATH-385. mikkel
Update Added a constructor and addValues(double[]) methods allowing DescriptiveStatistics to be initialized with values from a double[] array. Similarly enhanced ResizeableDoubleArray. Fixes MATH-384. mikkel
Update Added a getUniqueCount() method to Frequency to return the number of unique values included in the frequency table. Fixes MATH-448. Thanks to Patrick Meyer. psteitz
Fix Modified NormalDistributionImpl.cumulativeProbability to return 0 or 1, respectively for values more than 40 standard deviations from the mean. For these values, the actual probability is indistinguishable from 0 or 1 as a double. Top coding improves performance for extreme values and prevents convergence exceptions. Fixes MATH-414. psteitz
Update Added toString() override to StatisticalSummaryValues. Fixes MATH-420. psteitz
Fix Deprecated the whole ode.jacobians package. It is clumsy and difficult to use. It will be replaced by a completely rewritten implementation in 3.0, which will be more tightly bound to the top level ode package. Fixes MATH-380. luc
Fix Added a normalization feature to transform samples so they have zero mean and unit standard deviation. Fixes MATH-426. Thanks to Erik van Ingen. luc
Add Created "MathUserException" class to convey cause of failure between layers of user code separated by a layer of Commons Math code. Deprecated classes "FunctionEvaluationException", "MatrixVisitorException" and "DerivativeException". Fixes MATH-440. erans
Fix Fixed k-means++ to add several strategies to deal with empty clusters that may appear during iterations. Fixes MATH-429. luc
Update Improved Percentile performance by using a selection algorithm instead of a complete sort, and by allowing caching data array and pivots when several different percentiles are desired. Fixes MATH-417. luc
Fix Fixed an error preventing zero length vectors to be built by some constructors. Fixes MATH-391. luc
Fix Fixed an error preventing ODE solvers to be restarted after they have been stopped by a discrete event. Fixes MATH-421. luc
Add Added new random number generators from the Well Equidistributed Long-period Linear (WELL). Fixes MATH-419. luc
Update Made intercept / no intercept configurable in multiple regression classes. By default, regression models are estimated with an intercept term. When the "noIntercept" property is set to true, regression models are estimated without intercepts. Fixes MATH-409. psteitz
Fix Fixed lost cause in MathRuntimeException.createInternalError. Note that the message is still the default message for internal errors asking to report a bug to Commons Math JIRA tracker. In order to retrieve the message from the root cause, one has to get the cause itself by getCause(). Fixes MATH-415. luc
Fix Modified multiple regression newSample methods to ensure that by default in all cases, regression models are estimated with intercept terms. Prior to the fix for this issue, newXSampleData(double[][]), newSampleData(double[], double[][]) and newSampleData(double[], double[][], double[][]) all required columns of "1's" to be inserted into the x[][] arrays to create a model with an intercept term; while newSampleData(double[], int, int) created a model including an intercept term without requiring the unitary column. All methods have been changed to eliminate the need for users to add unitary columns to specify regression models. Users of OLSMultipleLinearRegression or GLSMultipleLinearRegression versions 2.0 or 2.1 should either verify that their code either does not use the first set of data loading methods above or set the noIntercept property on estimated models to get the previous behavior. Fixes MATH-411. psteitz
Fix Added the dfp library providing arbitrary precision floating point computation in the spirit of IEEE 854-1987 (not exactly as it uses base 1000 instead of base 10). In addition to finite numbers, infinities and NaNs are available (but there are no subnormals). All IEEE 854-1987 rounding modes and signaling flags are supported. The available operations are +, -, *, / and the available functions are sqrt, sin, cos, tan, asin, acos, atan, exp, log. Fixes MATH-412. Thanks to Bill Rossi. luc
Fix Added faster and more accurate version of traditional mathematical functions in a FastMath class intended to be a drop-in replacement for java.util.Math at source-level. Some functions still directly delegates to Math but this will improve with time. Some functions like exp may be twice as fast (even 3 times faster on some processors). Sine, cosine or power functions show typical speedups of 1.5 times faster or more. Fixes MATH-375. Thanks to Bill Rossi. luc
Fix Added R-squared and adjusted R-squared statistics to OLSMultipleLinearRegression. Fixes MATH-386. psteitz
Fix Corrected the formula used for Y variance returned by calculateYVariance and associated methods in multiple regression classes (AbstractMultipleLinearRegression, OLSMultipleLinearRegression, GLSMultipleLinearRegression). These methods previously returned estimates of the variance in the model error term. New "calulateErrorVariance" methods have been added to compute what was previously returned by calculateYVariance. Fixes MATH-392. Thanks to Mark Devaney. psteitz
Fix Bug fixed in Levenberg-Marquardt (handling of weights). Fixes MATH-406. dimpbx

Fix Fixed inconsistency in return values in "MultiStartUnivariateRealOptimizer". Fixes MATH-393. erans
Add Added a feature allowing error estimation to be computed only on a subset of Ordinary Differential Equations, considered as the main set, the remaining equations being considered only as an extension set that should not influence the ODE integration algorithm. Fixes MATH-388. luc
Fix Fixed bug in precondition check (method "setMicrosphereElements"). Fixes MATH-382. erans
Add Created "MultidimensionalCounter" class. Fixes MATH-379. erans
Add Created package "exception" to contain the new exceptions hierarchy. Created package "exception.util": utilities for the exception classes (e.g. managing the localization of error messages). Default policy for dealing with invalid null references: raise a "NullArgumentException" (subclass of "IllegalArgumentException"). Fixes MATH-361. erans
Add Implementation of linear interpolation. Fixes MATH-378. Thanks to Matthew Rowles. erans
Fix Improved localization of error messages. Fixes MATH-361. luc
Fix Allow multiple optimizations with a default simplex. Fixes MATH-376. erans
Update Added new "equalsIncludingNaN" methods that have the same semantics as the old "equals" methods. These are deprecated, and their semantics will be modified (in the next major release) such that NaNs are not considered equal (to be more compliant with IEEE754). Fixes MATH-370. erans
Fix Added a setQRRankingThreshold method to Levenberg-Marquardt optimizer to improve robustness of rank determination. Fixes MATH-352. luc
Update Added random data generation methods to RandomDataImpl for the remaining distributions in the distributions package. Added a generic nextInversionDeviate method that takes a discrete or continuous distribution as argument and generates a random deviate from the distribution. Also added sampling methods based on the implementations in RandomDataImpl to distributions. Fixes MATH-310. psteitz
Fix Fixed Levenberg-Marquardt optimizer that did not use the vectorial convergence checker. Now this optimizer can use either the general vectorial convergence checker or its own specialized convergence settings. Fixes MATH-362. luc
Fix Fixed loss of significance error in PersonsCorrelation p-value computation causing p-values smaller than the machine epsilon (~1E-16) to be reported as 0. Fixes MATH-371. Thanks to Kevin Childs. psteitz
Fix Fix NullPointerException in BisectionSolver.solve(f, min, max, initial). Fixes MATH-369. Thanks to Sasun Pundev. luc
Fix Fix spelling of getSparcity [sic] method of OpenMapRealVector. Fixes MATH-368. billbarker

Update Added method to clear the list of observations in CurveFitter. Fixes MATH-356. erans
Add Implementation of bicubic interpolation. Fixes MATH-357. erans
Update 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. Fixes MATH-332. Thanks to Mikkel Meyer Andersen. psteitz
Update Changed equals() methods to use instanceof check rather than catching ClassCastException; this also allows some null checks to be omitted. Fixes MATH-337. sebb
Update Removed unnecessary null checks in equals methods. Fixes MATH-336. sebb
Fix Fraction.hashCode() implementation was not fully consistent with Fraction.equals(). Changed hashCode() to use fields directly to agree with equals(). Fixes MATH-335. sebb
Fix 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. Fixes MATH-282. psteitz
Fix Fixed too stringent interval check in Brent solver: initial guess is now allowed to be at either interval end. Fixes MATH-347. luc
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. luc
Fix 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. Fixes MATH-358. luc
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 luc
Fix Fixed wrong return values when enpoints are roots in Brent solver with a user provided initial guess. Fixes MATH-344. luc
Fix Fixed a missing bracketing check of initial interval in Brent solver. Fixes MATH-343. luc
Fix In SVD, the matrices passed to EigenDecomposition are now symmetric by construction (rather than simply by definition). In EigenDecomposition, once the tridiagonal form is obtained, the non-significant elements are set to 0. Fixes MATH-342. dimpbx
Fix A EigenDecompositionImpl simplified makes it possible to compute the SVD of a singular matrix (with the right number of elements in the diagonal matrix) or a matrix with singular value(s) of multiplicity greater than 1. Fixes MATH-333. dimpbx
Add Added SemiVariance statistic. Fixes MATH-323. Thanks to Larry Diamond. psteitz
Add Added a warning in the getCoefficients method documentation for PolynomialFunctionLagrangeForm. Computation may be ill-conditioned so this method should be used with care. Fixes MATH-341. luc

Fix Fixed a spurious exception in EigenDecompositionImpl when a 3x3 block had two identical eigenvalues. luc
Add Added min/max getters for real vectors (not yet in the RealVector interface for compatibility purposes, but in the AbstractRealVector abstract class). Fixes MATH-334. luc
Fix Fixed automatic step initialization in embedded Runge-Kutta integrators. The relative tolerance setting was never used, only the absolute tolerance was used. Fixes MATH-338. Thanks to Vincent Morand. luc
Fix Fixed regression in Frequency.getPct(Object) introduced in 2.0. Cumulative percent was being returned for Object arguments in place of percent. Fixes MATH-329. psteitz
Add Singular Value Decomposition now computes either the compact SVD (using only positive singular values) or truncated SVD (using a user-specified maximal number of singular values). Fixes MATH-321. luc
Fix Fixed Singular Value Decomposition solving of singular systems. Fixes MATH-320. luc
Update Added MathUtils methods to compute gcd and lcm for long arguments. Fixes MATH-239. Thanks to Christian Semrau. psteitz

Add New ODE integrators have been added: the explicit Adams-Bashforth and implicit 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 ... luc
Fix Replaced size adjustment of all steps of fixed steps Runge-Kutta integrators by a truncation of the last step only. Fixes MATH-214. luc
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. luc
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. luc
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. luc
Fix 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). Fixes MATH-213. luc
Update Events handlers in the ODE package now also provide the switching function variation (increasing/decreasing) when an event occurs luc
Update Clarified the ODE package by breaking in into several sub-packages and renaming classes (SwitchingFunctions/EventHandler, SwitchingFunctionsHandler/CombinedEventsManager) luc
Fix 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. Fixes MATH-210. luc
Fix Fixed dimension error on output vector for the operate method in RealMatrixImpl and BigMatrixImpl classes. Fixes MATH-209. Thanks to Thomas Chust. luc
Update The FirstOrderDifferentialEquations, FirstOrderIntegrator and FixedStepHandler interfaces now extends Serializable, allowing integrators, problems and handlers to be embedded into users Serializable classes. luc

Add Added Mauro's patch to support multiple regression. Fixes MATH-203. Thanks to Mauro Talevi. luc
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. luc
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. luc
Add Added the getSwitchingFunctions and clearSwitchingFunctions to the FirstOrderIntegrator interface and all its implementations. Fixes MATH-202. luc
Update Removed deprecated features. This includes the following changes. Factory-based instantiation replaced by setter injection in 1.2 in several classes have been removed.
