| 3 | +Version 0.3.28 |
| 4 | + 8-Aug-2024 |
| 5 | + |
| 6 | +general: |
| 7 | +- Reworked the unfinished implementation of HUGETLB from GotoBLAS |
| 8 | + for allocating huge memory pages as buffers on suitable systems |
| 9 | +- Changed the unfinished implementation of GEMM3M for the generic |
| 10 | + target on all architectures to at least forward to regular GEMM |
| 11 | +- Improved multithreaded GEMM performance for large non-skinny matrices |
| 12 | +- Improved BLAS3 performance on larger multicore systems through improved |
| 13 | + parallelism |
| 14 | +- Improved performance of the initial memory allocation by reducing |
| 15 | + locking overhead |
| 16 | +- Improved performance of GBMV at small problem sizes by introducing |
| 17 | + a size barrier for the switch to multithreading |
| 18 | +- Added an implementation of the CBLAS_GEMM_BATCH extension |
| 19 | +- Fixed miscompilation of CAXPYC and ZAXPYC on all architectures in |
| 20 | + CMAKE builds (error introduced in 0.3.27) |
| 21 | +- Fixed corner cases involving the handling of NAN and INFINITY |
| 22 | + arguments in ?SCAL on all architectures |
| 23 | +- Added support for cross-compiling to WEBM with CMAKE (in addition |
| 24 | + to the already present makefile support) |
| 25 | +- Fixed NAN handling and potential accuracy issues in compilations with |
| 26 | + Intel ICX by supplying a suitable fp-model option by default |
| 27 | +- The contents of the github project wiki have been converted into |
| 28 | + a new set of documentation included with the source code. |
| 29 | +- It is now possible to register a callback function that replaces |
| 30 | + the built-in support for multithreading with an external backend |
| 31 | + like TBB (openblas_set_threads_callback_function) |
| 32 | +- Fixed potential duplication of suffixes in shared library naming |
| 33 | +- Improved C compiler detection by the build system to tolerate more |
| 34 | + naming variants for gcc builds |
| 35 | +- Fixed an unnecessary dependency of the utest on CBLAS |
| 36 | +- Fixed spurious error reports from the BLAS extensions utest |
| 37 | +- Fixed unwanted invocation of the GEMM3M tests in cross-compilation |
| 38 | +- Fixed a flaw in the makefile build that could lead to the pkgconfig |
| 39 | + file containing an entry of UNKNOWN for the target cpu after installing |
| 40 | +- Integrated fixes from the Reference-LAPACK project: |
| 41 | + - Fixed uninitialized variables in the LAPACK tests for ?QP3RK (PR 961) |
| 42 | + - Fixed potential bounds error in ?UNHR_COL/?ORHR_COL (PR 1018) |
| 43 | + - Fixed potential infinite loop in the LAPACK testsuite (PR 1024) |
| 44 | + - Make the variable type used for hidden length arguments configurable (PR 1025) |
| 45 | + - Fixed SYTRD workspace computation and various typos (PR 1030) |
| 46 | + - Prevent compiler use of FMA that could increase numerical error in ?GEEVX (PR 1033) |
| 47 | + |

| 49 | +- reverted thread management under Windows to its state before 0.3.26 |

| 52 | + in CMAKE builds for CooperLake and SapphireRapids targets |
