  ** SMP support via posix threads for Level 3 BLAS
  ** Addition of infrastructure for contribution of kernels, thus allowing:
     ** SSE support
     ** 3DNow! support

  ** Bug fixes and misc. speedups

ATLAS version 3.0Beta (stable), released December 1999.  The highlights of

     fully optimized on all architectures
  ** Some LAPACK routines explicitly supported (LU, Cholesky and related
     routines)
  ** Standard C and Fortran77 APIs for all BLAS and provided LAPACK routines;
     C routines support both row- & column-major access
  ** Improved small-case GEMM performance made possible by code generator that
     can generate all transpose cases (and thus avoid data copy), with
     associated speed boost in many Level 3 BLAS routines.
  ** Support for complex matrix multiplication without copying user data
  ** Support for additional looping structures for complex GEMM, providing
     better performance and reducing memory usage for many cases

  ** Improved small-case matrix multiply performance

ATLAS version 1.0, released September 1998.  The highlights of changes
from version 0.1 are:
  ** Support for entire real Level 3 BLAS via the Superscalar gemm-based
     BLAS (written in Fortran77)
  ** Improved matmul generator, including support for explicit
     register blocking in GEMM

First ATLAS release, version 0.1, released December 1997.  Provided:
  ** Optimized, real matrix multiplication
