BFloat16s v0.5.0
This is a breaking release, changing the way code is generated for operations with BFloat16 numbers. On Julia 1.10, this will now rely on LLVM, potentially generating code that performs BFloat16 operations natively. On older versions of Julia, the existing software implementation is still used.
Although care has been taken to make sure both implementations behave identically, it is possible that this change has introduced differences, which is why this release has been tagged as a breaking release. If you rely on this package, it is recommended to test your code using both Julia 1.10 on a platform where LLVM supports bfloat (i.e., x86 or x86_64), and using any older version of Julia. Differences in behavior are likely bugs.
