Changelog of @hackage/blas 0.6

Changes in 0.6:

• Massive overhaul of the types. It is now possible to do mutable operations in the ST monad. Access control is done via type classes now instead of phantom types.

• No more orphan instances.

• Change some function names. You should never have to "import qualified" anything now.

• Put row/col operations in the Matrix type classes. Generic matrix types now provide access to rows and columns.

Changes in 0.5:

• Add Banded matrix data type, as well as Tri Banded and Herm Banded.

• Add support for trapezoidal dense matrices (Tri Matrix (m,n) e, where m is not the same as n). Note that trapezoidal banded matrices are NOT supported.

• Add Diag matrix data type for diagonal matrices.

• Add Perm matrix data type, for permutation matrices.

• Enhance the RMatrix and RSolve type classes with an API that allows specifying where to store the result of a computation.

• Enhance the IMatrix, RMatrix, ISolve, and RSolve type classes to add "scale and multiply" operations.

• Remove the scale parameter for Tri and Herm matrix data types.

• Flatten the data types for DVector and DMatrix.

• Some inlining and unpacking performance improvements.
