* What is new in gsl-2.5:
** doc bug fix in binomial distribution figure (Damien Desfontaines)
** added Wishart distribution (Timothée Flutre)
** added new module for digital filtering (gsl_filter); current filters
include:
Gaussian filter
median filter
recursive median filter
impulse detection filter
** added new module for moving window statistics (gsl_movstat)
** added statistics functions:
gsl_stats_median()
gsl_stats_select()
gsl_stats_mad()
gsl_stats_mad0()
gsl_stats_Sn_from_sorted_data()
gsl_stats_Qn_from_sorted_data()
gsl_stats_gastwirth_from_sorted_data()
gsl_stats_trmean_from_sorted_data()
** added Romberg integration (gsl_integration_romberg)
** bug fix in deprecated functions gsl_multifit_wlinear_svd and
gsl_multifit_wlinear_usvd (reported by Vlad Koli)
** documention corrected to state that gsl_sf_legendre functions do
not include Condon-Shortley phase by default
** bug fix in exponential fitting example when using larger number
of points (reported by Anna Russo)
** changed internal workspace inside gsl_spmatrix to a union to
avoid casting (suggested by Manuel Schmitz)
** bug fixes in ode-initval2 for very rare solver crashing cases:
#52230 in msadams (reported by Michael Kaufman) and
#52336 in msbdf (reported by Andrew Benson). As a fix,
the maximum scaling of controlled step length was decreased
from 5.0 to 4.9.
** add histogram2d figure to manual (was missing in 2.4)
** bug fix in gsl_spmatrix_add for duplicate input arguments
(reported by Alfredo Correa)
** add support for negative arguments nu in gsl_sf_bessel_Jnu and
gsl_sf_bessel_Ynu (Konrad Griessinger)
** better texinfo documentation for gsl_sf_hyperg functions
** fix vector and matrix fread/fwrite testing on windows systems
when tmpfile() fails
** fix for rstat/test.c on PPC64 (reported by Adam Majer)
