[eigen] Eigen 3.1 release plans

[Jitse Niesen <jitse@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

What are the plans for forking and releasing 3.1? I'm hoping to have some 
time available this summer to work on bug 99 / evaluators.

Bugzilla currently shows two bugs blocking 3.1.

Bug 422 is "Reconsider EIGEN_DEFAULT_TO_ROW_MAJOR". We need a decision on 
whether to depreciate this feature (or perhaps mark it as internal). If 
yes, document this. If no, we need to make it clearer that it changes the 
ABI and API.

This basically needs a decision. Is there anybody actually using this?

Bug 438 is "specialization of class SparseLU for UmfPack violates rule of 
three". While the SparseLU class is deleted, the classes UmfPackLU and 
SuperLU need a fix. This does not look difficult. I cannot do it now 
because I don't have these library installed, but I should be able to do 
this on my own laptop later this week if nobody beats me to it.

Are there any other bugs or features that need to be addressed before we 
can release 3.1?
