Dear ublas users,

version 1.2.0 of the ublas-compatible OpenCL-based linear algebra 
library ViennaCL is now available for download! Highlights of the new 
release are the following features (all experimental):
- Several algebraic multigrid preconditioners
- Sparse approximate inverse preconditioners
- Fast Fourier transform
- Structured dense matrices (circulant, Hankel, Toeplitz, Vandermonde)
- Reordering algorithms (Cuthill-McKee, Gibbs-Poole-Stockmeyer)
- Proxies for manipulating subvectors and submatrices

Due to the generic nature of the implementations, most algorithms can 
directly be used with ublas types. Some algorithms still show an OpenCL 
dependency, but we plan to have all algorithms in a pure 
ublas-addon-fashion ready along the 1.2.x branch.

Happy New Year and best regards,
Karli
