GSL provides a large collection of well-tested routines for numerical computing in C. This release adds new support for Generalized Eigensystems (thanks to Patrick Alken), as well as bug fixes. The full NEWS file entry is appended below. The license has been updated to GNU GPL version 3. Programs using the library should be updated to the same version of the license. The file details are: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gsl/gsl-1.10.tar.gz (2.8 MB) ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gsl/gsl-1.10.tar.gz.sig (GPG signature) d67be4f2e5560d6cf907e18a428becdc (MD5 checksum) The GSL project home page is at http://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/ GSL is free software distributed under the GNU General Public License. Thanks to everyone who reported bugs and contributed improvements. Brian Gough (GSL Maintainer) Network Theory Ltd Commercial support for GSL --- http://www.network-theory.com/gsl/ ====================================================================== * What is new in gsl-1.10: ** License updated to GNU GPL version 3. ** Added support for generalized eigensystems (Patrick Alken) ** Extended Cholesky routines to complex matrices (Patrick Alken) ** Added functions gsl_matrix_subrow and gsl_matrix_subcolumn ** Added function gsl_stats_correlation to compute Pearson correlation of two datasets ** Added the new function gsl_sf_expint(n,x) for computing the n-th order exponential integral. ** Added functions gsl_vector_isnonneg and gsl_matrix_isnonneg. ** Added support in gsl_ieee_set_mode for controlling SSE exceptions and rounding through the MXCSR control word on x86 processors. ** The autoconf macro AM_PATH_GSL has been renamed to AX_PATH_GSL, to avoid conflicts with the autoconf namespace. ** Improved handling of underflow in gsl_eigen_symm. ** The function gsl_multiroot_fdjacobian now returns the error code GSL_ESING if any of the columns of the computed jacobian matrix are zero. This may occur if the step size of the derivative is too small. ** Extended the function gsl_sf_beta_inc(a,b,x) to handle cases where a<0 or b<0. ** Fixed the round-off error estimate in gsl_deriv_{central,backwards, forward} to correctly account for numerical error in the step-size h. ** Fixed gsl_cdf_beta_Pinv, gsl_cdf_gamma_Pinv, gsl_cdf_beta_Pinv to avoid returning spurious values for large parameters when the iteration did not converge. If the iteration cannot converge, GSL_NAN is returned. ** gsl_ran_dirichlet now handles smaller values of alpha[] without underflow, avoiding a NaN in the returned value. ** The SVD routines now avoid underflow in the Schur decomposition for matrices with extremely small values
