Log Message:
Update GSL to version 1.15

New in gsl-1.15:

** Added Tuomo Keskitalo's new ode branch ode-initval2 with a
   gsl_odeiv2 prefix. This provides proper support for implicit
   solvers.  It is intended to be the new default for differential
   equations.  The existing gsl_odeiv routines will be retained for
   binary compatibility but their interface will be deprecated.

** Added new gsl_integrate_cquad routines for robust integration of
   difficult functions using the doubly-adaptive CQUAD algorithm
   (Pedro Gonnet).

** Added error checking to CBLAS functions (Jose Luis Garcia Pallero)

** Added a new function gsl_integration_glfixed_point to return
   ordered Gauss-Legendre points and weights contained within a
   gsl_integration_glfixed_table [bug #32237].

** Added a new function gsl_interp_type_min_size to return the size of
   an interpolation type.

** Added a function gsl_pow_uint(x,n) to compute x^n for unsigned
   exponents (needed when n exceeds the range of signed integers).

** Added new routine gsl_linalg_complex_cholesky_invert to handle the
   matrix inversion for complex Cholesky decompositions (Huan Wu).

** Added the functions gsl_vector_equal(x,y) and gsl_matrix_equal(x,y)
   for testing equality of two vectors or matrices.

** Added function gsl_eigen_nonsymmv_params to control the balancing
   transformation for eigenvector calculations. Balancing is now
   turned off by default for gsl_eigen_nonsymmv.

** It is now possible to choose an alternative cblas library via
   pkg-config using the GSL_CBLAS_LIB environment variable or
   the pkg-config --define-variable option.

** The jacobi method gsl_eigen_jacobi now uses the norm of the
   off-diagonal elements for its convergence criterion, as in
   algorithm 8.4.3 of Golub and van Loan.

** The newton multiroot solvers now return an error when a singular
   jacobian is detected.

** The interpolation functions now return NaN and when x is out of range,
   instead of extrapolating.

** The gsl_multimin_fdfsolver multidimensional minimisers now return
   GSL_ENOPROG immediately if the generated trial point does not
   differ from the initial point (to machine precision), avoiding
   unnecessary further iterations.

** Extended the range of gsl_sf_bessel_lnKnu_e by rescaling
   intermediate results to avoid internal overflows [bug #31528].

** Improved the result of gsl_sf_atanint_e for large arguments by
   adding the first order 1/x correction term. [bug #29562]

** Fixed the gsl_rng_ranlxs generators to enforce a maximum seed value
   of 2^31-1.  Larger seed values caused out of range values to be
   returned.

** Fixed gsl_ran_chisq_pdf(x,nu) to return correct result of 1/2
   instead of 0 when x=0 and nu=2, and +inf when x=0 and nu<2.

** Fixed gsl_pow_int(x,n) to avoid an infinite loop when n=INT_MIN due
   to wrapping of signed integers.

** Fixed gsl_sf_hyperg_2F1(a,b,c,x) to avoid returning NaN for
   arguments |a|>10. [bug #24812]

** Avoid spurious underflow return code in gsl_sf_beta_inc_e when
   intermediate underflow does not affect the result. [bug #30933]

** Avoid segfault in Chebyshev series derivatives gsl_cheb_calc_deriv
   for n=1. [bug #29139]
