v1.10.0

• If statements with empty blocks and comparisons outside of if or while statements now compile and run on the GPU.
• Fix kernel management inconsistencies regarding preferred devices management
• Fix Java execution mode with barriers to not deadlock when a thread dies or is interrupted (InterruptedException)
• Fix Java execution mode to fail-fast when Kernel execution fails
• Java execution mode now provides detailed backtraces of failed Kernel threads including passId, groupIds, globalIds and localIds
• Internal translation of bytecode is now facilitated by the BCEL library
• Scala support has been added (see unit tests).
• Fix arrays of AtomicInteger stored on local variables no longer fail with type cast exception while generating OpenCL (support for I_ALOAD_0,1,2,3 bytecode instructions)

v1.9.0

• Fixed local arrays handling 1D and ND, to cope with arrays resizing across kernel executions
• Significant speed-up on discrete GPUs with dedicated memory - OpenCLDevice.setSharedMemory(false)
• Now supports efficient execution on discrete GPU and other devices with dedicated memory
• Support for OpenCLDevice configurator/configure API

v1.8.0

• Updated KernelManager to facilitate class extensions having constructors with non static parameters
• Enable kernel profiling and execution simultaneously on multiple devices (multiple threads calling same kernel class on multiple devices)
• Fixed JVM crash when multi-dimensional arrays were used in Local memory (2D and 3D local arrays are now supported)
• Fixed bug where signed integer constants were being interpreted as unsigned values during Codegen.

v1.7.0

• Fully support barrier() - localBarrier(), globalBarrier() and localGlobalBarrier() on OpenCL 1.2 and later.
• Improved exception handling, stack traces no longer double print and Error and other throwables are never caught.
• Fix issue causing SEVERE log messages on Aparapi kernel profiling under multithreading.
• Provide new interfaces for thread safe kernel profiling (mutiple threads calling same kernel class on same device).
• Fixed occasional deadlock in JTP execution mode.
• Significant speedup when running in JTP execution mode.

v1.6.0

• Added support for Local arguments in kernel functions
• Added full support for atomic operations of arrays of integers on OpenCL 1.2 and later.
• Parent pom no longer points to a snapshot.

v1.5.0

• Support for OpenCL 2.1 added.
• Support inline array creation in the kernel, which is implemented in the GPU in private memory.
• Updated parent pom to v6.
• createProgram had the wrong signature producing a unsatisfied link exception that is now fixed.
• Build now requires version 3.5.0 of maven due to changes in surefire plugin.
• Added the functions popcount and clz

v1.4.1

• Fixed NullPointerException when using KernelManger from the KernelManagers class
• Now requires maven 3.0.4 or later.
• Bumped parent pom version to 4.
• Removed explicit versions from several plugins in the pom as these are defined in the parent.

v1.4.0

• Updated nexus stagin plugin: 1.6.7 -> 1.6.8
• Added Fused Multiply Add support.
• Fixed a bug whereby the library failed to load if OpenCL implementation isnt present, system now loads and falls back to native Java.
• Fixed several mistakes and typos in the various examples.
