Item posted by Patrick Alken <psa> on Sat 05 Jun 2021 03:02:45 PM UTC.

Version 2.7 of the GNU Scientific Library (GSL) is now available. GSL provides a large collection of routines for numerical computing in C.

This release introduces some new features and fixes several bugs. The full NEWS file entry is appended below.

The file details for this release are:

ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gsl/gsl-2.7.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gsl/gsl-2.7.tar.gz.sig
