Apache Commons Numbers 1.1 RELEASE NOTES
The Apache Commons Numbers team is pleased to announce the release of
commons-numbers-parent-1.1
The Apache Commons Numbers project provides number types and utilities.
New features, updates and bug fixes. Adds a commons-numbers-bom module. Requires Java 8.
Changes in this version include:
New features:
o NUMBERS-70: Add a user guide.
o NUMBERS-190: Add a Bill of Materials (BOM) to aid in dependency management when referencing
multiple Apache Commons Numbers artifacts. The BOM should be used to ensure all
imported artifacts are compatible.
o NUMBERS-181: Updated support for the beta functions. "RegularizedBeta": Added the
complement and derivative of the regularized beta function.
Added "IncompleteBeta" and "Beta" classes.
Functionality is ported from the Boost C++ library.
o NUMBERS-180: "GammaRatio": Compute the ratio of two gamma functions.
o NUMBERS-177: "Erfcx": Compute a scaled complementary error function:
erfcx(z) = erfc(z) * exp(z*z).
o NUMBERS-175: "GeneralizedContinuedFraction": A continued fraction class to compute using a
generator. Allows evaluation of continued fractions from a regular series where
coefficients can be computed iteratively from the previous coefficients.
Fixed Bugs:
o NUMBERS-185: "Precision": Allow Precision.compareTo using a maxUlps to be used for sorting.
This corrects handling of NaN comparisons.
o NUMBERS-182: "LogBeta": Avoid overflow for tiny arguments.
o "BrentSolver": Avoid overflow creating the initial value between the lower and upper.
o NUMBERS-173: "ContinuedFraction": Set a minimum bound on the relative error epsilon. Prevents
an infinite loop when the epsilon is zero.
o "FactorialDouble": Prevent caching values that are infinite. The cache will support
factorials up to 170.
o NUMBERS-170: "RegularizedBeta": Detect edge cases for arguments that can be evaluated by
exploiting properties of the regularized beta function.
o NUMBERS-168: "BrentSolver": Identify brackets with small objective values.
o Fix wrong javadoc. Thanks to Arturo Bernal.
Changes:
o NUMBERS-184: "Precision": Reduce number of operations in Precision.equals using a maxUlps.
o NUMBERS-183: Improve the binomial coefficient classes. Avoid recursive method calls.
Avoid overflow for BinomialCoefficientDouble for large results close to infinity.
Use precomputed factorials and the LogBeta function for efficiency.
o NUMBERS-178: "Factorial/FactorialDouble": Tabulate all factorials with exact 64-bit double
representations of n! up to n=170. This change deprecates the FactorialDouble
class and removes obsolete caching functionality.
o NUMBERS-176: "ContinuedFraction": Update to use a shared implementation with
GeneralizedContinuedFraction.
o NUMBERS-174: "Gamma/LogGamma/RegularizedGamma": Update the gamma function implementations to
increase accuracy and support for extreme values.
Functionality is ported from the Boost C++ library.
o NUMBERS-172: "Erf/Erfc": Use a rational function approximation accurate to 53-bits of precision.
This replaces the use of the regularized gamma functions P and Q and increases accuracy
at extreme limits of the function. Execution speed is improved.
Functionality is ported from the Boost C++ library.
o NUMBERS-171: "InverseErfc": Support full range of [0, 2]. This lowers the supported
minimum value from 2^-53 to double min value. Execution speed is improved.
Functionality is ported from the Boost C++ library.

Apache Commons Numbers 1.0 RELEASE NOTES
The Apache Commons Numbers team is pleased to announce the release of
commons-numbers-parent-1.0
The Apache Commons Numbers project provides number types and utilities.
This is the first official release of Apache Commons Numbers.
Apache Commons Numbers 1.0 contains the following library modules:
commons-numbers-angle (requires Java 8+)
commons-numbers-arrays (requires Java 8+)
commons-numbers-combinatorics (requires Java 8+)
commons-numbers-complex (requires Java 8+)
commons-numbers-core (requires Java 8+)
commons-numbers-field (requires Java 8+)
commons-numbers-fraction (requires Java 8+)
commons-numbers-gamma (requires Java 8+)
commons-numbers-primes (requires Java 8+)
commons-numbers-quaternion (requires Java 8+)
commons-numbers-rootfinder (requires Java 8+)
N.B. the Performance testing module requires Java 9+. (The unit tests require Java 8+)
Changes in this version include:
Fixed Bugs:
o NUMBERS-153: Use iterative implementation of "trigamma" function. Thanks to Dmitriy Golovashkin
for reporting. Thanks to Gilles Sadowski.
o NUMBERS-150: "Fraction/BigFraction": Fixed pow(int) to handle Integer.MIN_VALUE and throw
ArithmeticException for negative exponents to a fraction of zero. Thanks to Jin Xu.
o NUMBERS-147: Fixed Fraction/BigFraction from(double, int) to support Integer.MIN_VALUE as max
denominator. Thanks to Alex Herbert.
Changes:
o NUMBERS-163: Combined "LinearCombination" and "Summation" into single "Sum" class. Thanks to
Matt Juntunen.
o NUMBERS-164: Added SortInPlace utility, original from Commons Math. Thanks to Gilles Sadowski.
o NUMBERS-159: Moved "Norms", "LinearCombination", and "Summation" from commons-numbers-arrays
module to commons-numbers-core module. Moved "CosAngle" from commons-numbers-arrays module
to commons-numbers-angle module. Thanks to Matt Juntunen.
o NUMBERS-156: Replaced "SafeNorm" with "Norms". Added "Summation" class for extended precision
summation. Thanks to Matt Juntunen.
o NUMBERS-161: "Angle" replaces "PlaneAngle" and "PlaneAngleRadians". Thanks to Gilles Sadowski.
o NUMBERS-158: Replace angle normalize method with normalizer method that returns operator
instance. Thanks to Gilles Sadowski.
o NUMBERS-157: Adding Reduce operation originally from Commons Math to commons-numbers-angle
module. Thanks to Gilles Sadowski.
o NUMBERS-142: "LinearCombination": Update to use the dot2s algorithm. Avoids construction of an
intermediate array for array dot products. Update the hi-lo splitting algorithm
to use Dekker's split to ensure the product round-off is computed to exact precision.
Thanks to Alex Herbert.
o NUMBERS-154: Precision compareTo method now handles NaN properly to ensure consistent sorting.
Thanks to Gilles Sadowski.
o NUMBERS-149: "Fraction": Port tests from commons-lang Fraction to demonstrate functional
compatibility between the lang and numbers implementation of Fraction. Thanks to Jin Xu.
o NUMBERS-151: "ArithmeticUtils": Refine pow(int, int) and pow(long, int) for edge cases.
Thanks to Jin Xu.
