Cristi Cobzarenco's "SciD" is not a "new" or "updated" version

reason it retains that name is that he started his work by

functionality, and then rewrote the
entire linear algebra modules from scratch, so there really
isn't much left of
SciD in there AFAIK.
Apologies if I mischaracterized the situation. My impression
had been that this
was a cooperative work (or a conscious handing of the baton).
No need to apologise! Your impression wasn't far off. As I
remember it, Cristi's intention was to either submit the library
for inclusion in Phobos, or if that failed, to fold it back into
SciD. That never happened, however, but the name stuck, and that
has created some confusion.
