- applied small improvements to the variants of Cholesky and QR functions (Reference-LAPACK PR 847)
- removed unused variables from LAPACK ?BDSQR (Reference-LAPACK PR 832)
- fixed a potential crash on allocation failure in LAPACKE SGEESX/DGEESX (Reference-LAPACK PR 836)
- added a quick return from SLARUV/DLARUV for N < 1 (Reference-LAPACK PR 837)
- updated function descriptions in LAPACK ?GEGS/?GEGV (Reference-LAPACK PR 831)
- improved algorithm description in ?GELSY (Reference-LAPACK PR 833)
- fixed scaling in LAPACK STGSNA/DTGSNA (Reference-LAPACK PR 830)
- fixed crash in LAPACKE_?geqrt with row-major data (Reference-LAPACK PR 768)
- added LAPACKE interfaces for C/ZUNHR_COL and S/DORHR_COL (Reference-LAPACK PR 827)
- added error exit tests for SYSV/SYTD2/GEHD2 to the testsuite (Reference-LAPACK PR 795)
- fixed typos in LAPACK source and comments (Reference-LAPACK PRs 809,811,812,814,820)
- adopt refactored ?GEBAL implementation (Reference-LAPACK PR 808)
x86_64:

01-Apr-2023
general:
- fixed a serious regression in GETRF/GETF2 and ZGETRF/ZGETF2 where
subnormal but nonzero data elements triggered the singularity flag
- fixed a long-standing bug in CSPR/ZSPR in single-threaded operation
for cases where elements of the X vector are real numbers (or
complex with only the real part zero)
- fixed gmake builds with the option NO_LAPACK
- fixed a few instances in the gmake Makefiles where expressly
setting NO_LAPACK=0 or NO_LAPACKE=0 would have the opposite effect

- Added initial support for processing with the EMSCRIPTEN javascript
converter (yielding a single-threaded build only)
- Added a threshold for multithreading in SYMM, SYMV and SYR2K

Version 0.3.7
11-Aug 2019
common:
* having the gmake special variables TARGET_ARCH or TARGET_MACH
defined no longer causes build failures in ctest or utest
* defining NO_AFFINITY or USE_TLS to 0 in gmake builds no longer
has the same effect as setting them to 1
* a new test program was added to allow checking the library for
thread safety
* a new option USE_LOCKING was added to ensure thread safety when
OpenBLAS itself is built without multithreading but will be
called from multiple threads.
* a build failure on Linux with glibc versions earlier than 2.5
was fixed
* a runtime error with CPU enumeration (and NO_AFFINITY not set)
on glibc 2.6 was fixed
* NO_AFFINITY was added to the CMAKE options (and defaults to being
active on Linux, as in the gmake builds)
x86_64:
* the build-time logic for detection of AVX512 availability in
the processor and compiler was fixed
* gmake builds on OSX now set the internal name of the library to
libopenblas.0.dylib (consistent with CMAKE)
* the Haswell DGEMM kernel received a significant speedup through
improved prefetch and load instructions
* performance of DGEMM, DTRMM, DTRSM and ZDOT on Zen/Zen2 was markedly
increased by avoiding vpermpd instructions

to fix remaining errors in DGEMM, DSYMM and DTRMM
POWER:
* added support for building on FreeBSD/powerpc64 and FreeBSD/ppc970
* added optimized kernels for POWER9 SGEMM and STRMM
ARMV7:
* fixed the softfp implementations of xAMAX and IxAMAX
* removed the predefined -march= flags on both ARMV5 and ARMV6 as
they were appropriate for only a subset of platforms
====================================================================
Version 0.3.6
29-Apr-2019
common:
* the build tools now check that a given cpu TARGET is actually valid
* the build-time check of system features (c_check) has been made
less dependent on particular perl features (this should mainly
benefit building on Windows)
* several problem with the ReLAPACK integration were fixed,
including INTERFACE64 support and building a shared library
* building with CMAKE on BSD systems was improved
* a non-absolute SUM function was added based on the
existing optimized code for ASUM
* CBLAS interfaces to the IxMIN and IxMAX functions were added
* a name clash between LAPACKE and BOOST headers was resolved
* CMAKE builds with OpenMP failed to include the appropriate getrf_parallel
kernels
* a crash on thread (key) deletion with the USE_TLS=1 memory management
option was fixed
* restored several earlier fixes, in particular for OpenMP performance,
building on BSD, and calling fork on CYGWIN, which had inadvertently
been dropped in the 0.3.3 rewrite of the memory management code.
x86_64:
* the AVX512 DGEMM kernel has been disabled again due to unsolved problems
* building with old versions of MSVC was fixed
* it is now possible to build a static library on Windows with CMAKE

* assembly bugs involving undeclared modification of input operands were fixed
in the AXPY, DOT, GEMV, GER, SCAL, SYMV and TRSM microkernels for Nehalem,
Sandybridge, Haswell, Bulldozer and Piledriver. These would typically cause
test failures or segfaults when compiled with recent versions of gcc from 8 onward.
* a similar bug was fixed in the blas_quickdivide code used to split workloads
in most functions
* a bug in the IxMIN implementation for the GENERIC target made it return the result of IxMAX

environment does not support AVX512
