the arguments of the EventState.reinitializeBegin method have changed;
some protected fields which already had public accessors in AbstractStepInterpolator have been replaced.
There is a behavior change that users of the multiple regression classes should be aware of. In version
2.1, there was no way to estimate models without intercept terms, and, while this was not clear from
the documentation, design (X) matrices needed to include initial unitary columns. In 2.2, initial
unitary columns are not necessary and whether or not models include intercept terms is configurable.
See the change log and javadoc for the classes in org.apache.commons.math.stat.regression for details.
The major new features are:
a new FastMath class, both faster, more accurate and with a few additional functions than StrictMath and Math;
a new package for floating point arbitrary precision computing, including high level functions like exponential, sine, square root ...;
