I don't think there are any LAPACK features to include in this list. Thanks!

Hi @toxicscum, for RNG we had bug fixes only - no new features

BLAS:

• ~New portBLAS backend support~
• Improved support for ROCm backend

@toxicscum Do you have a date or a commit hash for the previous release so we can check which timeframe/commits might have new features to report?

The v0.4 tag was created on April 12, and uses the latest commit(028d8bac8cbac674877d6302f2d87cfc87d7ac03) from April 10 on develop. I checked all commits from April 12 to August 05. Filtering by authors was useful.

• New portBLAS backend support

@andrewtbarker @toxicscum Support for portBLAS was already mentioned in the 0.3 release notes. I think it can be removed from 0.5.

[andrewtbarker]

@Rbiessy you're right, of course, good catch.
