Hi all,
I think its time to make a new release of GSL (v1.16). There have
been a number of bugfixes and new features added in the last couple
years. I don't mind taking the lead on this but I was hoping to get a
little feedback from others on whether there are any critical
show-stopper bugs at the moment.
Yesterday I removed 3 tests from specfun, poly, and cdf which were
causing 'make check' to fail on my system. I've created 3 separate bug
reports to track these issues on savannah.
I admit I haven't been fully following all of the reported bugs, and I'm
sure there are plenty on bug-gsl that never made it into the bug
tracker. My thinking is that if there are no highly critical bugs at the
moment, we should go ahead with the new release, and then focus on bug
fixing for the following release. Many of the bugs in the tracker are
outside my area of expertise and will involve significant effort to
learn the algorithm to fix them, but I'm willing to spend some time in
the coming months to look into as many of them as I can.
Also if any developers are current working on code they'd like to have
in the next release, let me know that too and we can hold off for a
little while.
Patrick
