Log message:
Update to 1.14:
* What is new in gsl-1.14:
** Upgraded to latest libtool, autoconf and automake (libtool-2.2.6b,
autoconf-2.65, automake-1.11.1). Fixes security hole in 'make
dist' (see Automake CVE-2009-4029).
** Added support for "multisets", which are similar to permutations
and combinations. A multiset is an array of k integers in the
range 0 to n-1 where each value may occur more than once. Multisets
can be used to iterate over the indices of a k-th order symmetric
tensor in n-space. (Rhys Ulerich)
** Added gsl_integrate_glfixed routines for performing fixed order
Gauss-Legendre integration
(Pavel Holoborodko, Konstantin Holoborodko, Rhys Ulerich)
** In the LMDER multi-dimensional fitting routines, the return code
GSL_ENOPROG is now used instead of GSL_CONTINUE for the case where
10 or more attempts to find a suitable trial step have been made
without success. [bug #25383]
** The confluent hypergeometric function gsl_sf_hyperg_U (a,b,x) has
been extended to support x < 0 for cases not involving
singularities in 1F1(a,b,x). [bug #27859]
** The F-distribution gsl_ran_fdist_pdf now avoids unnecessary
underflow and overflow and handles cases where n > 248. [bug
#28500]
** The SVD routines now use a scaled version of the implicit QR method
and compute the shift more reliably for values at the limit of
double precision, avoiding potential NaNs. [bug #28767]
** A compile time error is emitted if the configuration stage prevents
the functions gsl_isnan and gsl_finite from being defined.
** Added missing dereference in GSL_VECTOR_COMPLEX when not using
GSL_RANGE_CHECK [bug #28017]
** Improved the range of gsl_sf_hyperg1F1(a,b,x) when a<0,b>0. [bug
#28718]
** Added macros GSL_MAJOR_VERSION and GSL_MINOR_VERSION in
<gsl/gsl_version.h>
** Improved gsl_eigen_symmv and gsl_eigen_symm to avoid a potential
infinite loop when the tridiagonalised matrix contains very small
values. [bug #28096]
** Added functions gsl_multifit_linear_usvd and
gsl_multifit_wlinear_usvd for multilinear fitting without
column-scaling of the fit matrix.

Log message:
Update to 1.13:
* What is new in gsl-1.13:
** Upgraded to latest autoconf and automake (autoconf-2.64,
automake-1.11)
** Fixed the rk4 and bspline allocators to avoid invalid free()
calls under out of memory conditions. [bug #27194, #27236]
** Fixed a bug in gsl_multimin_fminimizer_nmsimplex2 where the center
and size of the simplex were not updated on contract-by-best steps,
causing failures in convergence. [bug #27180]
** Added new functions to set MISER and VEGAS Monte Carlo integration
parameters, and to examine VEGAS chi-squared value and intermediate
results.
** Added the function gsl_bspline_greville_abscissa to compute
Greville abscissae for B-splines.
** The cumulative distribution functions gsl_cdf_gumbel1_{P,Q} should
now handle a larger range of parameters without underflow and
overflow.
** The header file gsl_const_cgs.h no longer defines values for
electromagnetic units. Applications should use gsl_const_cgsm.h
instead to obtain the values in the CGS-Magnetic system. The
previous values for these units given in gsl_const_cgs.h were
ill-defined as the type of CGS electromagnetic system was
unspecified (the values were a mixture of CGS units with the Ampere
of the MSKA system). The affected constants are
GSL_CONST_CGS_BOHR_MAGNETON, GSL_CONST_CGS_ELECTRON_CHARGE,
GSL_CONST_CGS_ELECTRON_MAGNETIC_MOMENT, GSL_CONST_CGS_FARADAY,
GSL_CONST_CGS_GAUSS, GSL_CONST_CGS_NUCLEAR_MAGNETON,
GSL_CONST_CGS_PROTON_MAGNETIC_MOMENT, and GSL_CONST_CGS_ROENTGEN.
** The Pochhammer functions gsl_sf_poch(a,x) and gsl_sf_lnpoch(a,x) now
handle the special cases where a and a+x are zero or negative
integers.
** The confluent hypergeometric function gsl_sf_hyperg_U (a,b,x) now
handles some cases where x=0. The case where 1+a-b is a negative
integer no longer returns an error [bug #22859] and the incorrect
termination of the series in certain cases is fixed [bug #26706].
** Added a new function gsl_poly_eval_derivs to evaluate a polynomial
and its derivatives simultaneously.
** Added a new univariate minimisation algorithm
gsl_min_fminimizer_quad_golden which is a variant of Brent's
algorithm with safeguarded step-length adjustment.
** Added a new Nelder-Mead minimiser gsl_multimin_fminimizer_nmsimplex2rand
which uses a randomly oriented simplex rather than one fixed on
the coordinate axes [bug #25077]
** The texinfo file now uses the dircategory "Software libraries" from
the Free Software Directory, as recommended in the Texinfo manual.
** The function gsl_ran_exponential now includes zero in its output
range. [bug #25039]
** All functions for freeing allocated memory now accept a NULL
pointer, following the standard C convention for free(). [bug
#25319]
** The function gsl_sum_levin_u_accel now handles the special case
c_0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + .... that occurs when summing power series
c_n*x^n with x=0. [bug #26807]
** The functions gsl_linalg_LU_solve, gsl_linalg_LU_svx,
gsl_linalg_LU_refine, gsl_linalg_LU_invert and their complex
equivalents now return an error for singular matrices.
** The multifit LMDER hybrid solvers now check the return code of the
user-supplied function in the gsl_multifit_fdfsolver_set
method. [bug #26871]
** Improved the implementation of gsl_ran_discrete_preproc to avoid
internal errors due to inconsistencies from excess precision on
some platforms. [bug #26502]
** Corrected gsl_sf_hyperg_2F1(a,b,c,x) to not give a domain error in
the case where c is a negative integer and the series terminates
with a finite result.
** The C99 inline keyword is now supported, in addition to the
previously supported GNU-style inline.
** Modified gsl_poly_complex_solve_cubic and gsl_poly_solve_cubic to
avoid returning NaNs in cases where excess precision causes a
change in the number of roots.
** Fixed incorrect length check in gsl_blas_drotm. [bug #26503]
** Fixed gsl_odeiv_step_gear2 to restore y on step failure
** gsl_odeiv_evolve_apply now restores the correct value of t on step
failures [bug #26255].
** Using make install prefix=DIR now puts correct paths in package
config files gsl-config and gsl.pc
** Modified gsl_monte_vegas to work around pow() function inaccuracies
on MinGW [bug #25413].
** Increased the number of terms in gsl_sf_mathieu_a and
gsl_sf_mathieu_b to improve convergence in difficult regions [bug
#25075]

Log message:
Simply and speed up buildlink3.mk files and processing.
This changes the buildlink3.mk files to use an include guard for the
recursive include. The use of BUILDLINK_DEPTH, BUILDLINK_DEPENDS,
BUILDLINK_PACKAGES and BUILDLINK_ORDER is handled by a single new
variable BUILDLINK_TREE. Each buildlink3.mk file adds a pair of
enter/exit marker, which can be used to reconstruct the tree and
to determine first level includes. Avoiding := for large variables
(BUILDLINK_ORDER) speeds up parse time as += has linear complexity.
The include guard reduces system time by avoiding reading files over and
over again. For complex packages this reduces both %user and %sys time to
half of the former time.

Log message:
Update to 1.9:
* What is new in gsl-1.9:
** Fixed the elliptic integrals F,E,P,D so that they have the correct
behavior for phi > pi/2 and phi < 0. The angular argument is now
valid for all phi. Also added the complete elliptic integral
gsl_sf_ellint_Pcomp.
** Added a new BFGS minimisation method gsl_multimin_fdfminimizer_vector_bfgs2
based on the algorithm given by R.Fletcher in "Practical Methods of
Optimisation" (Second edition). This requires substantially fewer
function and gradient evaluations, and supercedes the existing BFGS
minimiser.
** The beta functions gsl_sf_beta_e(a,b) and gsl_sf_lnbeta_e(a,b) now
handle negative arguments a,b. Added new function gsl_sf_lnbeta_sgn_e
for computing magnitude and sign of negative beta values, analagous to
gsl_sf_lngamma_sgn_e.
** gsl_cheb_eval_mode now uses the same error estimate as
gsl_cheb_eval_err.
** Improved gsl_sf_legendre_sphPlm_e to avoid underflow with large
arguments.
** Added updated Knuth generator, gsl_rng_knuthran2002, from 9th
printing of "The Art of Computer Programming". Fixes various
weaknesses in the earlier version gsl_rng_knuthran. See
http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/news02.htm
** The functions gsl_multifit_fsolver_set, gsl_multifit_fdfsolver_set
and gsl_multiroot_fsolver_set, gsl_multiroot_fdfsolver_set now have a
const qualifier for the input vector x, reflecting their actual usage.
** gsl_sf_expint_E2(x) now returns the correct value 1 for x==0,
instead of NaN.
** The gsl_ran_gamma function now uses the Marsaglia-Tsang fast gamma
method of gsl_ran_gamma_mt by default.
** The matrix and vector min/max functions now always propagate any
NaNs in their input.
** Prevented NaN occuring for extreme parameters in
gsl_cdf_fdist_{P,Q}inv and gsl_cdf_beta_{P,Q}inv
** Corrected error estimates for the angular reduction functions
gsl_sf_angle_restrict_symm_err and gsl_sf_angle_restrict_pos_err.
Fixed gsl_sf_angle_restrict_pos to avoid possibility of returning
small negative values. Errors are now reported for out of range
negative arguments as well as positive. These functions now return
NaN when there would be significant loss of precision.
** Corrected an error in the higher digits of M_PI_4 (this was beyond
the limit of double precision, so double precision results are not
affected).
** gsl_root_test_delta now always returns success if two iterates are
the same, x1==x0.
** A Japanese translation of the reference manual is now available
from the GSL webpage at http://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/ thanks to
Daisuke TOMINAGA.
** Added new functions for basis splines, see the "Basis Splines"
chapter in the GSL Reference Manual for details.
** Added new functions for testing the sign of vectors and matrices,
gsl_vector_ispos, gsl_vector_isneg, gsl_matrix_ispos and
gsl_matrix_isneg.
** Fixed a bug in gsl_sf_lnpoch_e and gsl_sf_lnpoch_sgn_e which caused
the incorrect value 1.0 instead of 0.0 to be returned for x==0.
** Fixed cancellation error in gsl_sf_laguerre_n for n > 1e7 so that
larger arguments can be calculated without loss of precision.
** Improved gsl_sf_zeta_e to return exactly zero for negative even
integers, avoiding less accurate trigonometric reduction.
** Fixed a bug in gsl_sf_zetam1_int_e where 0 was returned instead of
-1 for negative even integer arguments.
** When the differential equation solver gsl_odeiv_apply encounters a
singularity it returns the step-size which caused the error code from
the user-defined function, as opposed to leaving the step-size
unchanged.
** Added support for nonsymmetric eigensystems
** Added Mathieu functions
