Welcome; and thanks for your interest!

For the very near future, yes; the next official release (out soonish, I hope)
will be version 4.0 based on the current contents of the "master" branch.
In the longer term, the aim is to continue with modularizing the library (e.g.
a new module dedicated to "interpolation" would make sense).
How soon this is achieved will depend on people stepping in to help.

Without hesitation, let's aim at elegance and avoid duplication. ;-)

How about "SplineInterpolator" provide a factory method to select one or
the other implementation?
I.e. something like
---CUT---
public SplineInterpolator implements UnivariateInterpolator {
/** Interpolation algorithm variant. */
private final BiFunction<double[], double[], UnivariateFunction> algo;
/**
* Factory method.
* @param clamped ...
* @return a new interpolator instance.
*/
public static SplineInterpolator create(boolean clamped) {
if (clamped) {
algo = new Clamped();
} else {
algo = new Unclamped();
}
}
@Override
public PolynomialSplineFunction interpolate(double[] x, double[] y) {
return algo.apply(x, y);
}
private static class Unclamped
implements BiFunction<double[], double[], PolynomialSplineFunction> {
// ... current implementation ...
}
private static class Clamped
implements BiFunction<double[], double[], PolynomialSplineFunction> {
// ... your proposed functionality ...
}
// Commons functions ...
}
---CUT---
