3.5 - 2020-09-01

  • IBM System/390 support is added.
  • The library can be built with Clang on Windows.
  • Static libraries with LTO can be generated.
  • Alternative division and sqrt methods can be chosen with AArch64.
  • Header files for inlining the whole SLEEF functions can be generated.
  • IEEE remainder function is added.
  • GCC-10 can now build SLEEF with SVE support.

3.4.1 - 2019-10-01

Changed

3.4 - 2019-04-28

Added

Changed

  • Many functions are now faster
  • Testers are now faster

3.3.1 - 2018-08-20

Added

  • FreeBSD support is added

Changed

  • i386 build problem is fixed
  • Trigonometric functions now evaluate correctly with full FP domain. shibatch#210

3.3 - 2018-07-06

Added

  • SVE target support is added to libsleef. shibatch#180
  • SVE target support is added to DFT. With this patch, DFT operations can be carried out using 256, 512, 1024 and 2048-bit wide vectors according to runtime availability of vector registers and operators. shibatch#182
  • 3.5-ULP versions of sinh, cosh, tanh, sinhf, coshf, tanhf, and the corresponding testing functionalities are added. shibatch#192
  • Power VSX target support is added to libsleef. shibatch#195
  • Payne-Hanek like argument reduction is added to libsleef. shibatch#197

3.2 - 2018-02-26

Added

  • The whole build system of the project migrated from makefiles to cmake. In particualr this includes libsleef, libsleefgnuabi, libdft and all the tests.
  • Benchmarks that compare libsleef vs SVML on X86 Linux are available in the project tree under src/libm-benchmarks directory.
  • Extensive upstream testing via Travis CI and Appveyor, on the following systems:
    • OS: Windows / Linux / OSX.
    • Compilers: gcc / clang / MSVC.
    • Targets: X86 (SSE/AVX/AVX2/AVX512F), AArch64 (Advanced SIMD), ARM (NEON). Emulators like QEMU or SDE can be used to run the tests.
  • Added the following new vector functions (with relative testing):
    • log2
  • New compatibility tests have been added to check that libsleefgnuabi exports the GNUABI symbols correctly.
  • The library can be compiled to an LLVM bitcode object.
  • Added masked interface to the library to support AVX512F masked vectorization.

Changed

  • Use native instructions if available for sqrt.
  • Fixed fmax and fmin behavior on AArch64: shibatch#140
  • Speed improvements for asin, acos, fmod and log. Computation speed of other functions are also improved by general optimization. shibatch#97
  • Removed libm dependency.

Removed

  • Makefile build system

3.1 - 2017-07-19

  • Added dispatcher for x86 functions
  • Improved reduction of trigonometric functions
  • Added support for 32-bit x86, Cygwin, etc.
  • Improved tester

3.0 - 2017-02-07

  • New API is defined
  • Functions for DFT are added
  • sincospi functions are added
  • gencoef now supports single, extended and quad precision in addition to double precision
