GSL provides a large collection of routines for numerical computing in C. This release includes significant new features and bug fixes: - nonlinear least squares fitting can now compute the Jacobian numerically with finite differences if the user doesn't wish to specify an analytic Jacobian - support for robust linear regression - Spearman correlation coefficient - numerous bug fixes The full NEWS file entry is appended below.

Thanks to everyone who reported bugs and contributed improvements. Patrick Alken ===================================== * What is new in gsl-1.16: ** fixed error in gsl_rng_fwrite where uninitialized padding bytes were being written (bug #39104) ** fixed error in gsl_block_alloc where padding bytes were not properly initialized (bugs #39101,#39102,#39103) ** fixed error in ntuple/test.c where padding bytes were not properly initialized (bug #39105) ** fixed triangle selection bug in gsl_sf_coupling_6j_e and gsl_sf_coupling_9j_e (bugs #39466 and #29606) (Håkan Johansson and Alexey Illarionov) ** added higher level wrapper routine gsl_multifit_fdfsolver_driver ** converted gsl_multifit_linear_residuals to use dgemv to improve efficiency (bug #39153) ** added functions gsl_stats_spearman and gsl_sort_vector2 to compute Spearman rank correlation ** added function gsl_poly_dd_hermite_init for Hermite interpolation ** Added support for robust linear least squares ** Added function gsl_linalg_SV_leverage for computing statistical leverages from SVD decomposition ** Added support for approximating the Jacobian of nonlinear least squares fits using forward finite differences ** Extended gsl_sf_coupling_3j to allow larger range and to handle the special case (ja jb jc; 0 0 0)=0 when ja+jb+jc is odd ** Fixed gsl_sf_mathieu_se_array to return zero when the order is zero [bug #33679]. ** Fixed overflow in gsl_sf_lncosh for large negative x (x<-354). ** Improved gsl_ran_negative_binomial_pdf to avoid underflow/overflow for large arguments. ** Multisets now allow k strictly greater than n. ** Fixed gsl_matrix_complex_fwrite/fread failure for noncontiguous matrices (Matthias Sitte).
