[atlas-devel] 3.7.38

[Clint W. <wh...@cs...>]

Guys,

I have released ATLAS 3.7.38, the Changelog is:

>ATLAS 3.7.38 released 10/05/07, changes from 3.7.37:
>   * Added new install guide, ATLAS/doc/atlas_install.pdf
>   * Updated docs
>   * Added F77 testing wrappers for POSV and GESV, so slvtst can test F77 iface
>   * Expanded configure support for AIX, but build still dies
>   * Configure support and flags for G4
>   * Added arch defaults for:
>     - Pentium III
>     - G4 using apple's hacked gcc 3.1
>     - HAMMER32SSE3
>     - HAMMER32SSE2

The main thing is the new install guide.  My guess is that this release will
wind up being the new stable.  I'm first going to check if I can't get
things working on AIX this weekend.  Whether I do or not, I hope to release
the new stable at the end of next week, so I'll be rerunning the full
ATLAS tester on several platforms, and then releasing the mythological 3.8.0.

There are several things that ought to be in there.  In particular,
users have sent me patches to allow configure to work on interix
(AKA Windows services for Unix), and to make "make install" care
about the dynamic libs.  I would really like to have had these in,
but I have to stop the bleeding at some point and release, and this is it.

I figure I'll issue a stable patch (3.8.1) before too terribly long
anyway, and hopefully I'll get some of these improvements in, along
with bug fixes and other things people find.

So, if you could go through the new tarfile and scope for out-of-date docs,
or things that go wrong on your platform, I'd appreciate it.  If you
have machines, and can run the full tester next week, that'd be great too.

Thanks,
Clint
