thanks for the offer. C++-wise things are pretty much settled, most of 
the work to come is actually in low-level optimizations in each of the 
three backends. Still, any kind of feedback (improvements to API, 
performance regressions, bugreports, etc.) is highly appreciated and 
equally important.

Most of the updates to ViennaCL in the near future relate to better 
performance (ViennaCL 1.7.x) and extending some functionality only 
available in the OpenCL-backend to the other backends (1.8.x). I think 
this will take until about the end of the year.

2.0.0 will be quite a leap, so it may take until around April 2016 to 
have it released. There will be a separate development branch for early 
feedback, though. :-)

Best regards,
Karli
