Dear GSL enthusiasts,
I have placed a new release snapshot of GSL (0.9.3) up for anonymous
ftp access.
The source code is available from the following locations,
USA: ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/pub/sourceware/gsl/
Australia: ftp://planetmirror.com/pub/sourceware/gsl/
Germany: ftp://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/sources.redhat.com/gsl/

This release fixes all bugs reported recently and adds a few missing
functions.
Please continue testing and report any problems to
gsl-discuss@sources.redhat.com.
Here are the recent entries in the NEWS file.
* What is new in gsl-0.9.3:
* Routines for complex LU decomposition are now available, allowing
the solution of systems of equations with complex coefficients.
* Matrix views of vectors now correctly require a unit stride for the
original vector.
* Permutations can now be applied to complex arrays and vectors.
* gsl_sf_pow_int now handles the case x = 0, n < 0
* The static versions of inline functions can now be hidden by
defining the preprocessor macro HIDE_INLINE_STATIC. This is needed
for some compilers.
* The original seeding procedure of mt19937 is available through the
generator gsl_rng_mt19937_1998. The seeding procedure was flawed, but
is available for compatibility.
* Added missing functions gsl_complex_div_real and
gsl_complex_div_imag.
* Missing functions for constant vector and matrix views have now been
added.
* Statistical calculations for histograms are now available, and the
gsl-histogram command also displays the histogram mean and standard
deviation.
* The behavior of GSL_IEEE_MODE for denormalized exceptions has been
fixed on Openbsd and Netbsd.
* A pkg-config file gsl.pc is included in the distribution
* The reference manual can now be printed in @smallbook format without
overflow.
