Dear ViennaCL users,

ViennaCL 1.7.0 has just been released.

Due to a storage fault at Sourceforge [1], a download from the 
ViennaCL-Sourceforge page [2,3] is not yet possible. An alternative for 
the next few days is to download a release tarball from the developer 
repository on GitHub: https://github.com/viennacl/viennacl-dev/releases

The highlights of the 1.7.0 release are:
  * Fine-grained parallel incomplete LU factorization preconditioners
    (based on recent paper by Chow and Patel [4])
  * Fast sparse matrix-matrix multiplication
    (based on recent paper by Gremse et al. [5])
  * Improved performance of sparse matrix-vector products
  * Fine-grained parallel algebraic multigrid preconditioners for CUDA, 
OpenCL, and OpenMP.
  * Conversion between vectors and matrices of different numeric type
  * Lanczos eigenvalue solver now optionally also returns eigenvectors.
  * Interface to/from the Armadillo library [4]

A full list of changes is available here:
  http://viennacl.sourceforge.net/doc/changelog.html

Updates to the benchmark section on the ViennaCL webpage in order to 
showcast the good performance will follow shortly.

Best regards,
Karl Rupp
