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.
* A serious thread safety bug in GEMV operation with small M and
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).

known-threadsafe (but non-default)
USE_SIMPLE_THREADED_LEVEL3 option.

compile/link
* 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
* Behaviour of AXPY with zero increments is now handled
in the C interface, correcting the result on at least
Intel Atom.

input matrix is now zeroed completely.

form to allow building with clang 7.0

common:

used before version 0.3.1 due to unexpected problems caused by

in DSYEVR and related functions caused by missing conversion
from ILAENV to ILAENV_2STAGE in several _2stage routines.
x86_64
* added AVX512 implementations of SDOT, DDOT, SAXPY, DAXPY,
DSCAL, DGEMVN and DSYMVL

of AVX512 code

is not set)
* Added an option DYNAMIC_LIST that (used in conjunction with
