 OpenBLAS ChangeLog
+====================================================================
+Version 0.3.31
+15-Jan-2025
+
+general:
+ - reverted a matrix partitioning optimization from 0.3.30 that could lead to 
+   race conditions and subsequent invalid results in GEMM
+ - added the bfloat16 extensions BGEMM and BGEMV
+ - added a BLAS interface for the ?GEMM_BATCH extensions
+ - added the BLAS extensions ?GEMM_BATCH_STRIDED and their CBLAS interface
+ - added the basic infrastructure for half-precision float (FP16) format 
+   using SH prefix
+ - reimplemented the LAPACK SLAED3/DLAED3 function using multithreading, thereby
+   improving the performance of the SSYEVD/DSYEVD eigensolver for symmetric matrices 
+   on all platforms
+ - limited the number of retries for initial memory allocation to avoid infinite
+   hanging on low-memory systems
+ - fixed a thread lockup situation encountered with python 3.9 or older and numpy
+ - introduced a problem size threshold for multithreading in STRMV/DTRMV
+ - introduced a problem size threshold for multithreading in CHER/CHER2/CHPR/CHPR2
+   and ZHER/ZHER2/ZHPR/ZHPR2
+ - improved the problem size thresholds for multithreading in SGER/DGER
+ - improved autodetection of the Fortran compiler
+ - fixed passing of the INTERFACE64=1 option to the flang-new compiler
