- New features since 1.1:
- * New extensible architecture separating pseudo-random bit
- generation from interpretation (as BOOL, double, etc.).
- * Additional engines: R250Engine, StandardEngine.
- * More efficient use of bits (see randMin:Max: in Random).
- * Better percent method (potentially non-portable, though. See
- Random).
- * More testing programs.
- * Two new graphical demos: RandPlot and RandHist.
-
-
- New features since 1.0:
-
- * Gaussian variables;
- * Arbitrary distribution (via randFunc: method);
- * Nicer distribution policy;
- * Two neat histogram testing programs, one for flat distributions
- (from percent method), and one for Gaussian distributions (from
- gaussian method).
