random-source: Generic basis for random number generators

[ deprecated, library, math, public-domain ] [ Propose Tags ]
Deprecated

Random number generation based on entropy sources able to produce a small but well-defined set of primitive variates. Also includes facilities for "completing" partial implementations, making it easy to define new entropy sources in a way that is naturally forward-compatible.

Changes in 0.3.0.6: Fixed overzealous fix in 0.3.0.5. The people responsible for sacking the people who have been sacked, etc., have been sacked.

Changes in 0.3.0.5: Renamed some internal modules and accidentally some external ones too. Whoops. Please don't use this version, it will only end in tears.

Changes in 0.3.0.4: Fixed a typo that broke building with MTL-1

Changes in 0.3.0.3: Fixes for GHC's deprecation of Foreign.unsafePerformIO

Changes in 0.3.0.2: Fixes for GHC 7.2.*'s crazy Template Haskell changes.
