checking api changes upstream

[nilsbecker]

I noticed this tracker for api changes in gsl:
https://abi-laboratory.pro/tracker/timeline/gsl/
Posting it here just in case, since it seems useful.

The changelog of gsl does not contain all small changes to the API, but this tool seems to list all of them if one clicks through e.g. to here: https://abi-laboratory.pro/tracker/compat_report/gsl/2.0/2.1/62838/abi_compat_report.html#Added . In this way, compatibility of existing bindings with new gsl versions may be checked.

Quite a lot was added in 2.2: multidimensional nonlinear least-squares solvers seem to be the biggest chunk. My personal feature wishes for support in gsl-ocaml would be the multidimensional gaussian random numbers (2.2) and sparse matrices (2.1)
