Brief introduction about what has changed since leaf's last commits

[wdv4758h]

I just notice this repo as a new active development fork of leaf, probably it will be great to provide a quick info for what has changed and what's on the roadmap.

Obviously the name is changed, but I think it's more than that. Maybe also mention some previous fork like parenchyma, you probably pick up their work too. 😃

I think the biggest change is that finally all the refactoring changes from Alex Mazorov are merged.

This includes some trait level type definitions for memory and few important refactorings.

On the layers front there are a few things in the pipeline to hit master in the next few weeks:

• Dropout
• RNN / LSTM

Besides that a lot of CI work was done which is still work in progress: a mergebot - https://ci.spearow.io

I dug into parenchyma, talked to the author but I did not have the time to transfer all the OpenCL related code into a proper coaster backend.

In general, PRs welcome and the rest should be covered in the README

Thanks for your summary !!!

Feel free to open a PR if you feel any of this stuff is supposed to go into the README.md, imho, not so much. This is rather content for the book/website - which are still WIP.

Could you put this summary into CHANGELOG.md ?

I wanted to get clog up and running and do it that way, but given clog moved away from the used commit msg syntax it might be about time to do it manually
