* Renaming: - Whenever I renamed a class, I provided a wrapper with the old name. There are also using declarations in namespace boost for everything that I moved. - The names of a few accessors in the distributions changed. I left both the old and the new names in place.
Are you/is there a way to notify, preferably at compile time, that said wrappers and old names are deprecated or are going to be deprecated?
Good point. If I wrap them in #ifndef, BOOST_RANDOM_NO_DEPRECATED, I can use it hide them from doxygen as well.
A few thing I know about, but haven't changed: * lagged_fibonacci comparison is not technically correct. It's possible for operator== to return false in some cases where the generators will actually produce identical (infinite) sequences. The probability that this will ever actually happen is very small. (As in 2^{-20000} for lagged_fibonacci607)
Will this also be noted in the documentation?
No. It's not that hard to fix. I just made it a low priority because it's so unlikely to make a difference. In Christ, Steven Watanabe
