[blapie]

Dear users and contributors,

SLEEF is on a 6-month release cycle starting release 3.6, which means the next minor release of SLEEF is coming soon.

Release Schedule

Code Freeze - Sep 9 2024
Validation - Sep 9 2024 - Sep 13 2024
Release Date - Sep 13 2024

Release Scope

The idea of this release is to consolidate our CI tests, show some benchmark figures and meet community standards.
But of course any other technical contributions will be warmly welcome.

• Meeting community standards - https://github.com/shibatch/sleef/community
  • Contribution Guidelines
  • Templates for Issues and PRs
• Benchmarks: Fix flat line benchmark results.
• Re-schedule and re-organise CI pipelines to increase control over resources usage
• Start porting documentation from html doc/website to markdown

Hello! We have decided to push back the release a few weeks, in order to better deliver on the advertised scope.
Sorry for any inconvenience, please let us know if your release depends on recently merged features.
In the meantime, we recommend using our most recent stable release SLEEF 3.6.1.
Kindest regards,

[blapie]

Hello! We are going to start validation in view of releasing SLEEF 3.7 by next week. The scope was slightly reduced, see updated version above.
