OpenBLAS 0.3.11 version

NOTE there appear to be several defects in this version unfortunately - this should not be redistributed or used in a production environment

common:

• API change:

      the newly added BFLOAT16 functions were renamed to use the
      letter "B" instead of "H" to avoid potential confusion with
      the IEEE "half precision float" type, i.e. the 0.3.10
      SHGEMM is now SBGEMM and the corresponding build option
      was changed from "BUILD_HALF" to "BUILD_BFLOAT16".

  limit for placing temporary arrays on the stack) to be compatible
  with a stack size of 1mb (as imposed by the JAVA runtime library)

OpenBLAS 0.3.4 version

common:

• the new, experimental thread-local memory allocation had
  inadvertently been left enabled for gmake builds in 0.3.3
  despite the announcement. It is now disabled by default, and
  single-threaded builds will keep using the old allocator even
  if the USE_TLS option is turned on.
• OpenBLAS will now provide enough buffer space for at least 50
  threads by default.
• The output of openblas_get_config() now contains the version
  number.

  large N size has been fixed.
• The code will now automatically call blas_thread_init after a
  fork if needed before handling a call to openblas_set_num_threads
• Accesses to parallelized level3 functions from multiple callers
  are now serialized to avoid thread races (unless using OpenMP).
  This should provide better performance than the known-threadsafe
  (but non-default) USE_SIMPLE_THREADED_LEVEL3 option.

  enabled by default to ensure correct behaviour.

  steps to facilitate setting platform-specific linker flags.
• A potential race condition during the build of LAPACK (that would
  usually manifest itself as a failure to build TESTING/MATGEN) has been
  fixed.
• xHEMV has been changed to stay single-threaded for small input sizes
  where the overhead of multithreading exceeds any possible gains
• CSWAP and ZSWAP have been limited to a single thread except on ARMV8 or
  ThunderX hardware with sizable input.
• Linker flags for the PGI compiler have been updated

  ARMV8 support.

• Older assembly mnemonics have been converted to UAL form to allow
  building with clang 7.0
• Cross compiling LAPACKE for Android has been fixed again (broken by
  update to LAPACK 3.7.0 some while ago).

OpenBLAS 0.3.3 version

common:

• thread memory allocation has been switched back to the method
  used before version 0.3.1 due to unexpected problems caused by
  the new code under some circumstances. A new compile-time option
  USE_TLS has been added to allow enabling the new code instead,
  and it is hoped that this can become the default again in the next version.
• LAPACK PR272 has been integrated, which fixes spurious errors
  in DSYEVR and related functions caused by missing conversion
  from ILAENV to ILAENV_2STAGE in several _2stage routines.
• the cmake-generated OpenBLASConfig.cmake now uses correct case
  for the name of the library
