Revision 43, 1.4 kB (checked in by lhealy, 8 months ago)

Added a list of features added to GSL as a kind of to-do list.

Line 
1Some things that have been added to GSL since 1.8 that should be added
2to GSLL:
3
4GSL 1.9
5http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gsl/2007-02/msg00000.html
6** Added support for nonsymmetric eigensystems (Patrick Alken)
7** Added Mathieu functions (Lowell Johnson)
8** Added a new BFGS2 minimisation method, requires substantially fewer
9function and gradient evaluations that the existing BFGS minimiser.
10** Added updated Knuth generator, gsl_rng_knuthran2002, from 9th
11printing of "The Art of Computer Programming".  Fixes various
12weaknesses in the earlier version gsl_rng_knuthran.
13** Added new functions for testing the sign of vectors and matrices,
14gsl_vector_ispos, gsl_vector_isneg, gsl_matrix_ispos and
15gsl_matrix_isneg.

18GSL 1.10
19http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gsl/2007-09/msg00000.html
20** Added support for generalized eigensystems (Patrick Alken)
21** Extended Cholesky routines to complex matrices (Patrick Alken)
22** Added functions gsl_matrix_subrow and gsl_matrix_subcolumn
23** Added function gsl_stats_correlation to compute Pearson correlation
24of two datasets
25** Added the new function gsl_sf_expint(n,x) for computing the n-th
26order exponential integral.
27** Added functions gsl_vector_isnonneg and gsl_matrix_isnonneg.
28** Added support in gsl_ieee_set_mode for controlling SSE exceptions
29and rounding through the MXCSR control word on x86 processors.
