## Changes in 0.5.1
December 18, 2018
Improvements present in 0.5.1:
Framework:
- Added mixed-precision support to the 1m method implementation.
- Track internal scalar datatypes in the `obj_t` info bitfield. This allows slightly better handling of scalars during mixed-datatype `gemm` computation.
- Fixed a bug that allowed execution of 1m with mixed-precision `gemm`, despite such usage not yet being officially supported. (Devangi Parikh)
- Added missing internal calls to `bli_init_once()` in `bli_thread_set_num_threads()` and `bli_thread_set_ways()`. (Ali Emre Gülcü)
Kernels:
- Redefined `packm` kernels to handle edge cases and zero-filling, and updated their APIs accordingly. This was needed in order to fully support the use of non-default/non-reference packm kernels. (Devin Matthews)
Build system:
- Disallow explicit requests to use 64-bit integers in the BLAS API while simultaneously using 32-bit integers in the BLIS API. (Jeff Hammond, Devin Matthews)
- Fixed an msys2/Windows build failure. (Isuru Fernando, Costas Yamin)
- Fixed a MinGW build failure. (Isuru Fernando)
- Disabled `arm32`, `arm64` configuration families since we don't yet have logic to choose the correct context at runtime.
Testing:
- Make sure the testsuite fails for `NaN`, `Inf` in input operands. (Devin Matthews)
- Added `hemm` driver to `test/3m4m`.
- Minor updates to `test/mixeddt` drivers, matlab scripts.
- Added additional matlab plotting scripts to `test/3m4m`.
Documentation:
- Updated `docs/Multithreading.md` to include discussion of setting affinity via OpenMP.
- Updated `docs/Testsuite.md` to include discussion of mixed-datatype settings.
- Updated `docs/MixedDatatypes.md` to include a brief section on running the testsuite to exercise mixed-datatype functionality, and other minor updates.
- Fixed broken links in `docs/KernelsHowTo.md`. (Richard Goldschmidt)
- Spelling fixes in FAQ. (Rhys Ulerich)
- Updated 3-clause license comment blocks to refer generically to copyright holders rather than just the original copyright holder, UT-Austin.
