-*
+* Fill `clad::array` with 0s when assigned an empty brace-init list.
+* Improve documentation
+* Improve AD function interfaces with bitmasked options. For example:
+  `clad::differentiate<<clad::order::first, clad::opts::vector_mode>(f)` will
+  be equivalent to `clad::differentiate<<1, clad::opts::vector_mode>(f)` and
+  will request the first order derivative of `f` in forward vector mode.
