  • consistent multivariate API with nalgebra
    • feature for multivariate_nalgebra
  • data driven distributions?
  • more effective errors (and panics?)

Note that while the NIST dataset is still in the repo, #214 at least removed it from the crates.io package. So the remaining part of the issue should not be a blocker for a new package version/release.

The CI changes don't need to be a version blocker either, they're almost exclusively non-functional changes (formatting, code style). On the other hand, they're relatively easy to fix.

I guess it would be nice to have a consistent nalgebra API, but IMHO, I'm not sure it's worth holding back a release for. This is subjective, but the current API is not broken or untenable and a new release could be productive for these API discussions because of renewed attention on the project. ATM, it's only a small amount of people participating in these API-related discussions.

More input from users would be beneficial for the discussion on API. Thanks for the suggestion, and I think I'll take it.
