[Librsb-users] Release 1.2.0.10 of the "librsb" Sparse BLAS Software Library

[Michele M. <mic...@us...>]

Dear librsb users,

An updated version of librsb (1.2.0.10) [http://librsb.sourceforge.net/] 
is out and available for download from 
 https://sourceforge.net/projects/librsb/files/

This is mostly a bugfix release.

An excerpt from the NEWS file with relevant changes:

 - bugfix: rsb_spmm(...,RSB_FLAG_WANT_ROW_MAJOR_ORDER,...) internals swapped ldB and ldC
           so having ldB > ldC could lead to a crash; with ldC < ldB, to wrong results
 - bugfix: rsb_spmm(...,RSB_FLAG_WANT_ROW_MAJOR_ORDER,...) on matrix with
           RSB_FLAG_UNIT_DIAG_IMPLICIT could compute wrong results
 - bugfix: rsb_tune_spmm()/rsb_tune_spsm() could crash if called with
   order==RSB_FLAG_WANT_ROW_MAJOR_ORDER and auto leading dimensions and implicit
   operands (ldB==0 and Bp==NULL, ldC==0 and Cp==NULL)
 - bugfix: rsb_mtx_get_rows_sparse() with: was ignoring RSB_TRANSPOSITION_C
 - reduce librsb.so size by hiding unnecessary symbols
 - tuning with blas_rsb_autotune_next_operation(): a bit faster defaults
 - rsb_tune_spmm()/rsb_tune_spsm(): faster performance sampling if maxt>=0
 - rsb_tune_spmm()/rsb_tune_spsm(): won't iterate till limit but stop on excessive slowdown
 - several documentation-related improvements


Full NEWS file attached.

A renewed THANKS (see README file) to all users and colleagues who 
contributed with insightful comments, bug reports, and testing.
A BIG THANKS to the Debian, Octave and cygwin communities for continued
precious help over the years.
