Re: [eigen] Plans for 3.3.5 release?

Hello,

I'm very glad you asked that, I would also be very curious and would love to hear/know more.

Particularly I would be interested in:

* What's the roadmap for switching to using more of C++11/14 by default (or even C++17), deprecating older compilers - even fully move to C++11/14?

(potentially solving issues like http://eigen.tuxfamily.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=1409)

* What's the status and plans of the unsupported/Tensor module? I think this is in active use by Google for TensorFlow, is it not? Given that, I am a bit surprised that it is still an "unsupported" module..

Best wishes,

Patrik

Hello,

It has been a while since a new official release of Eigen. I am curious if there is a planned release for 3.3.5.

I see that the current version is 3.3.90: https://bitbucket.org/eigen/eigen/src/2af650906b5730b3837920ba7d1131a83565a912/Eigen/src/Core/util/Macros.h?at=default&fileviewer=file-view-default#Macros.h-16

Does this mean that the next intended release is Eigen 4?

To be clear, installing newer Eigen is very easy. It would be nice to add a new official release to package managers (e.g. for CUDA 9 support), but that’s not why I’m really asking. I’m curious about the larger picture of Eigen and releases, and thought people here would know what direction things are moving in :)

Is there anything users can do to help test would-be future releases? For example, building common projects that use Eigen such as OpenCV?

Thank you for any thoughts.
