    - Fixed RT#40947: configure_requires ExtUtils::PkgConfig bug
    - Added reverse() and swap() methods to VectorComplex objects with tests and docs
    - as_list() and get() now work on VectorComplex objects
        as_list() returns a list of Math::Complex objects
        get() returns a list of Math::GSL::Complex objects
    - Math::GSL::Test::ok_status() now takes an optional message argument
    - Added KNOWN_BUGS
    - Added Math::GSL::Test::is_status_ok()
    - New subsytems: VectorComplex and MatrixComplex
    - Operator overloading for addition and subtraction with vectors
    - Added example: examples/matrix/nonsymmetric_eigen
        Shows how to find the eigenvalues of a nonsymmetric matrix
    - Added copy() method to vectors
    - Improved Vector docs
    - Sped up vector dot products by 15x using BLAS function gsl_blas_ddot
        NOTE: using gsl_blas_ddot($x->raw,$y->raw) directly is still about 10 times faster
              than $x * $y due to error checking and function call overhead
    - Separated POD and Perl code out of SWIG interface files, yay for proper syntax
        highlighting
    - Added stub test files for Heapsort, IEEEUtils, Multimin, Siman, Wavelet2D
    - All test files now keep track of how many tests should run
    - Fix an include bug in Histogram2D which caused the build to fail (Thierry)
    - Operator overloading for addition, multiplication and subtraction on Matrix objects (Thierry)

    - Improved FFT, Deriv, Integration, Chebyshev, Combination and Roots docs
    - Documentation for Math::GSL::Test
    - Improved introduction examples in Math::GSL
    - Improved Minimization subsystem tests, but it is not functional
    - Added examples/fft/forward_real
    - Added example/deriv/basic

        This shows the simple fact that d/dx(sin(x)) = cos(x)

    - Added example/sf/erfc_check (thanks to Keith Lofstrom)

        Script which tests the erfc() special function against computing
        the integral definition with gsl_integration_qagiu()

    - Added example/vector/speed

        This shows a considerable performance boost using Math::GSL::Vectors
        instead of List::Util when searching for the min and max elements of
        large sets of random numbers.

    - Fixed return signature of gsl_deriv_* functions to return a flat list
    - Fixed some failing tests relating to  -Duselongdouble (Sisyphus)
