   * Bug fixes for Level 1 tuning
ATLAS 3.3.1, changes from 3.3.0:
   * Tuning and kernel contribution for Level 1

ATLAS 3.3.0, changes from stable:
   * Camm & Peter's SSE2 GEMM kernel

ATLAS 3.2 (stable), released December 2000.  The highlights of
changes from v3.0Beta are:
  ** SMP support via posix threads for Level 3 BLAS
  ** Addition of infrastructure for contribution of kernels, thus allowing:
     ** SSE support
     ** 3DNow! support
     ** Speedups on ev6x, ev5x, UltraSparcs, IA64, PowerPC archs
  ** Level 1 BLAS tester/timer added
  ** Additional OS and architectural support
  ** Bug fixes and misc. speedups

ATLAS version 3.0Beta (stable), released December 1999.  The highlights of
changes from v2.0 are:
  ** ATLAS now supplies complete BLAS, although some level 1 and 2 BLAS not
     fully optimized on all architectures
  ** Some LAPACK routines explicitly supported (LU, Cholesky and related
     routines)
  ** Standard C and Fortran77 APIs for all BLAS and provided LAPACK routines;
     C routines support both row- & column-major access
  ** Improved small-case GEMM performance made possible by code generator that
     can generate all transpose cases (and thus avoid data copy), with
     associated speed boost in many Level 3 BLAS routines.
  ** Support for complex matrix multiplication without copying user data
  ** Support for additional looping structures for complex GEMM, providing
     better performance and reducing memory usage for many cases

ATLAS version 2.0, released February 1999.  The highlights of changes
from 1.1 are:
  ** Support for all 4 types/precisions
  ** All Level 3 BLAS routines now supported
  ** Fortran77 is not required for installation
  ** Install & configure steps are now automated & logged
  ** Timer/tester for all Level 3 BLAS now included
  ** C interface to BLAS supported, and tester provided
  ** Improved small-case matrix multiply performance

ATLAS version 1.0, released September 1998.  The highlights of changes
from version 0.1 are:
  ** Support for entire real Level 3 BLAS via the Superscalar gemm-based
     BLAS (written in Fortran77)
  ** Improved matmul generator, including support for explicit
     register blocking in GEMM

First ATLAS release, version 0.1, released December 1997.  Provided:
  ** Optimized, real matrix multiplication
  ** Real GEMM tester/timer
