Dear ublas users,

in light of the recent discussions about ublas 2 and such, I'd like to 
announce the ViennaCL 1.5.0 release, which rebuilds the ublas interface 
while providing full accelerator support:
  http://viennacl.sourceforge.net/

About 80 to 90 percent of the ublas operations listed here:
 
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/libs/numeric/ublas/doc/operations_overview.htm
are already provided. Among other improvements, the current release 
fills the following gaps:

  - w = row(A, i); w = column(A, j)
  - w = diag(A); A = diag(W, k);
  - t = norm_frobenius(A)
  - C = element_prod(A, B); C = element_div(A, B);

The full changelogs are available here:
  http://viennacl.sourceforge.net/changelog.txt

Add-on functionality such as iterative solvers, QR factorizations, and 
eigenvalue algorithms, which can all be natively used with ublas types 
as well, are available as usual. :-)

Best regards,
Karli
