 OpenBLAS ChangeLog
+====================================================================
+Version 0.3.8
+ 9-Feb-2020
+
+common: 
+`	* LAPACK has been updated to 3.9.0 (plus patches up to 
+	  January 2nd, 2020)
+	* CMAKE support has been improved in several areas including
+	  cross-compilation
+	* a thread race condition in the GEMM3M kernels was resolved
+	* the "generic" (plain C) gemm beta kernel used by many targets
+	  has been sped up
+	* an optimized version of the LAPACK trtrs functions has been added
+	* an incompatibilty between the LAPACK tests and the OpenBLAS
+	  implementation of XERBLA was resolved, removing the numerous
+	  warnings about wrong error exits in the former 
+	* support for NetBSD has been added
+	* support for compilation with g95 and non-GNU versions of ld
+	  has been improved
+	* support for compilation with (upcoming) gcc 10 has been added
+
+POWER:
+	* worked around miscompilation of several POWER8 and POWER9 
+	  kernels by older versions of gcc
+	* added support for big-endian POWER8 and for compilation on AIX
+	* corrected bugs in the big-endian support for PPC440 and PPC970
+	* DYNAMIC_ARCH support is now available in CMAKE builds as well
+
+ARMV8:
+	* performance of DGEMM_BETA and SGEMM_NCOPY has been improved
+	* compilation for 32bit works again 
+	* performance of the RPCC function has been improved
+	* improved performance on small systems
+	* DYNAMIC_ARCH support is now available in CMAKE builds as well
+	* cross-compilation from OSX to IOS was simplified
+ 
+x86_64:
+	* a new AVX512 DGEMM kernel was added and the AVX512 SGEMM kernel
+	  was significantly improved
+	* optimized AVX512 kernels for CGEMM and ZGEMM have been added
+	* AVX2 kernels for STRMM, SGEMM, and CGEMM have been significantly
+	  sped up and optimized CGEMM3M and ZGEMM3M kernels have been added 
+	* added support for QEMU virtual cpus
+	* a compilation problem with PGI and SUN compilers was fixed
+	* Intel "Goldmont plus" is now autodetected
+	* a potential crash on program exit on MS Windows has been fixed
+
+x86:
+	* an unwanted case sensitivity in the implementation of LSAME
+  	  on older 32bit AMD cpus was fixed
+
+zarch:
+	* Z15 is now supported as Z14
+	* DYNAMIC_ARCH is now available on ZARCH as well

 Version 0.3.7
 11-Aug 2019
 
 common:
-        * having the gmake special variables TARGET_ARCH or TARGET_MACH
-          defined no longer causes build failures in ctest or utest
-        * defining NO_AFFINITY or USE_TLS to 0 in gmake builds no longer
-          has the same effect as setting them to 1
-        * a new test program was added to allow checking the library for
-          thread safety
-        * a new option USE_LOCKING was added to ensure thread safety when
-          OpenBLAS itself is built without multithreading but will be 
-          called from multiple threads.
-        * a build failure on Linux with glibc versions earlier than 2.5
-          was fixed
-        * a runtime error with CPU enumeration (and NO_AFFINITY not set)
-          on glibc 2.6 was fixed
-        * NO_AFFINITY was added to the CMAKE options (and defaults to being
-          active on Linux, as in the gmake builds)
+  * having the gmake special variables TARGET_ARCH or TARGET_MACH
+    defined no longer causes build failures in ctest or utest
+  * defining NO_AFFINITY or USE_TLS to 0 in gmake builds no longer

+  * NO_AFFINITY was added to the CMAKE options (and defaults to being
+    active on Linux, as in the gmake builds)
 
 x86_64:
-        * the build-time logic for detection of AVX512 availability in
-          the processor and compiler was fixed
-        * gmake builds on OSX now set the internal name of the library to 
-          libopenblas.0.dylib (consistent with CMAKE)
-        * the Haswell DGEMM kernel received a significant speedup through
-          improved prefetch and load instructions
-        * performance of DGEMM, DTRMM, DTRSM and ZDOT on Zen/Zen2 was markedly
-          increased by avoiding vpermpd instructions
-        * the SKYLAKEX (AVX512) DGEMM helper functions have now been disabled
-          to fix remaining errors in DGEMM, DSYMM and DTRMM
-
-## POWER:
-        * added support for building on FreeBSD/powerpc64 and FreeBSD/ppc970
-        * added optimized kernels for POWER9 SGEMM and STRMM
-
-## ARMV7:
-        * fixed the softfp implementations of xAMAX and IxAMAX
-        * removed the predefined -march= flags on both ARMV5 and ARMV6 as
-          they were appropriate for only a subset of platforms
+  * the build-time logic for detection of AVX512 availability in
+    the processor and compiler was fixed
+  * gmake builds on OSX now set the internal name of the library to 
+    libopenblas.0.dylib (consistent with CMAKE)
