ChangeLog

What's new in v2.1 development master:
 * Various bug fixes
 * Added support for MIPS MSA instruction set.
 * Added support for PowerPC VSX v2.06 and v2.07 instruction sets.
 * Added support for x86 AVX512BW and AVX512DQ instruction sets.
 * Added support for 64-bit little-endian PowerPC.
 * Added support for arbitrary width vectors in extract() and insert()
 * New functions: popcnt, reduce_popcnt, for_each
 * Xcode is now supported.
 * Deprecation: implicit conversion operators to native vector types has been
    deprecated and a replacement method has been provided instead. The implicit
    conversion operators may lead to wrong code being accepted without a
    compile error on Clang.
 * Various bug fixes.

What's new in v2.0:

 * Various bug fixes.
 * Intel compiler is now supported on Windows. Newer versions of other compilers
 are now supported.

What's new in v2.0~rc2:

 * Various bug fixes.

What's new in v2.0~rc1:

 * Expression template-based backend
 * Support scalar arguments to certain functions
 * Support for vectors much longer than the native vector type. The only
    limitation is that the length must be a power of 2.
 * Operator overloads are provided that fully mimic free functions.
 * New functions: store_masked, store_u, shuffle4x2, shuffle2x2, test_bits_any.
 * PowerPC Altivec, NEONv2 support. More compilers are now supported.
 * API break: The built-in dispatcher has been rewritten to generate hard
    link-time dependencies on the versioned functions. It is no longer
    susceptible in lazy static variable initialization breaking function
    registration. User must supply the list of generated architectures via
    predefined macro values. See examples/dispatcher for an example.
 * API break: SIMDPP_USER_ARCH_INFO now accepts any expression, not only a
    function
 * API break: int128 and int256 types have been removed. On some archs it's more
    efficient to have different physical representations for vectors with
    different element widths.
 * API break: 'broadcast' family of functions have been renamed to 'splat'
 * API break: 'permute' family of functions has been renamed to 'permute2' and
    'permute4' depending on the number of template arguments taken.
 * API break: value conversion functions such as to_float32x4 have been renamed
    and now returns a vector with the same number of elements as the source
    vector.
 * API break: certain functions return "empty" expressions instead of vectors
 * API break: saturated add and sub are now called add_sat and sub_sat
 * API break: the zero() and ones() member functions of the vector types have
    been removed.
 * API break: the functions in the sse:: and neon:: namespaces have been
    replaced with equivalent functions within the main simdpp namespace
 * Various other enhancements.
