1.1.0.0 - 2017-09-21

Added

  • support for GHC-8.2
  • caching of compilation results (accelerate-llvm#17)

Changed

  • generalise run1* to polyvariadic runN*
  • programs run using all cores by default; the environment variable ACCELERATE_LLVM_NATIVE_THREADS is used to set the number of worker threads rather than +RTS -N
