Hi, What is the present library status of the random library,and in how far are the documentation and the code base out-of-sync ? I just tried a variate_generator with mt19937 as engine and a normal_distribution as distribution. IIRC, then some years ago this did not work as the normal_distribution requires an input in the [0,1] range, but now it seems to work. Looking into the header files I concluded under the hood there has been quite some development going on. Also for uniform_01 things apparently changed quite a lot, there is now also for example a new_uniform_01 etc. My main questions: Is the library presently under active development ? Shall I rely on the docs, or not ? For example, is above normal distribution now deliberately working, or am I relying on a deliberately undocumented feature which might be removed later ? Because many more distributions now exist I think the docs are just totally out of date. Any plans of updating them ? cheers, Thomas
