Feel free to ask questions and I would suggest using the release plugin portion
of the release preparation page. If there’s confusion (I would expect some
obsolescence) on the page do make note of it, and I would be happy to update it
as we see fit.
All the best,

The [rng] project has a useful release guide for a multi-module project
(I think partly written by Rob):
doc/release/release.howto.txt
Q. Is this to be released as a beta?
The commons release page linked indicates the artefacts would be named
commons-numbers-XXX-1.0-B1.jar
It does not state anything about changing the package coordinates.
Releasing under beta does allow changes as there are "no guarantees of
stability or maintenance". So this could be released and we can still
change the API. For instance there is the Complex streams modules that
is due in part to be dropped and replaced by a ComplexList
representation of many complex numbers. I hope to get back to working on
this soon.

Hello,
Am I able to perform this beta release of numbers now that I am a committer? If
so, how would I go about it?
Thanks,

Are we waiting on anything for a numbers release?
I don't think so.
Are you talking about a beta release where the API is not yet frozen?
Yes.
I’m still testing versions of LinearCombination. But from the discussion on
NUMBERS-142 [1] it seems the choice may be to just change the current class to
use a more precise method. It will be slower than the current method but will
have an ensured accuracy of 1 ULP. It will be much faster than BigDecimal. All
the testing implementations can go into the examples module for reference.
I have 1 PR for Complex to add an internal version of Math.hypot (NUMBERS-143).
I’ll go over this soon and bring it in. The method is faster and more accurate
than Math.hypot.
I think Complex is ISO C99 compliant and quite robust to edge cases. The
javadoc needs a second pass and then an internal rearrangement of the code
layout. I’ve left this until last so that the git change history is clear. But
the methods and API are done.
Then there is the implementation of ComplexList for storing and working with
many complex numbers. This would be a replacement for part of
numbers.complex.stream.ComplexUtils. The question is should this part of the
API be established before any release? If a beta then we can remove redundant
methods from ComplexUtils later.
I would not include the "commons-numbers-complex-streams" module
(IIRC you mentioned that for performance, "ComplexList" should be in
the same module as "Complex”).
Yes. I think a lot of the private methods in Complex would have to be promoted
to package private for reuse so many of the functions could operate without
having to actually create an instance of Complex.
That would be my suggestion. Since the beta release would be on a fork we can
delete the module from the fork. Then it can be sanitised in master when
appropriate.

Gilles
