        * CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX/include/suitesparse: include files
        * CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX/lib: compiled libraries
        * CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX/lib/cmake/SuiteSparse: helper *.cmake scripts
            for all of SuiteSparse
        * CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX/lib/cmake/PACKAGE: *Config.cmake scripts for a
            specific package

    * CHOLMOD 5.1.0: full support for sparse single precision matrices,
        bug fixes in the GPU Module.
    * AMD 3.3.0: minor change for CHOLMOD 5.1.0 tests

        SPEX, SPQR, and UMFPACK.

Oct 31, 2023: version 7.3.1

    * CHOLMOD 5.0.1: remove "I" from cholmod.h.

Oct 23, 2023: version 7.3.0

    * CHOLMOD 5.0.0: initial support for sparse single precision matries.
        CHOLMOD:Core replaced with CHOLMOD:Utility
    * updated to require CHOLMOD 5.0.0:
        Example 1.4.3, GPUQREngine 3.3.3, KLU 2.2.2, SPQR 4.2.2, UMFPACK 6.2.2
    * SuiteSparseLAPACK.cmake: allow the use of BLIS/FLAME for LAPACK;
        update from Theirry Thomas.
    * build system: further updates to cmake, by Markus Muetzel.

Oct 18, 2023: version 7.2.2

    * CHOLMOD 4.2.2: bug fix to CHOLMOD/Supernodal (heuristic to determine
        # threads to use for last supernode was incorrect)

Oct 7, 2023: version 7.2.1

    * GraphBLAS 8.2.1: bug fix to GrB_mxm; incorrect handling of typecasting
    * cross-compiler support: replace check_c_source_runs with _compiles,
        for GraphBLAS and SuiteSparse_config, and remove check for
        getenv("HOME").
    * cmake update: add "None" build type, from Antonio Rojas, for Arch Linux,
        to all *Config.cmake files for all packages except CSparse (CXSparse
        is built instead, and CSparse does not have CSparseConfig.cmake file)
    * UMFPACK v6.2.1 and GPUQREngine v3.2.1: copies internal include files
        from other SuiteSparse packages (AMD and SuiteSparse_GPURuntime),
        so these two packages can be built independently.

Sept 8, 2023: version 7.2.0

    * build system: modern cmake structure, by Markus Muetzel.
        Most packages updated to vX.2.0 where X is unchanged (except SPQR
        and Example package).
    * SPQR v4.2.0: Major SO update.  Support for int32 indices by Raye Kimmerer

June 29, 2023: version 7.1.0

    * CXSparse 4.0.4: changed complex types for C++ callers

Jan 20, 2023: version 7.0.1

    * GraphBLAS v7.4.3: debug was left on in GrB_Matrix_removeElement

Jan 17, 2023: version 7.0.0

    * SuiteSparse_config: now v7.0.0
    * SuiteSparse_config struct: removed from external visibility to simplify
        the Windows build, so that no global data is externally visible.
        This requires a major version number increase from v6.x to v7.x for the
        SuiteSparse meta-package (which has the same version number as
        SuiteSparse_config).  Added get/set methods to SuiteSparse_config to
        access the contents of the struct.
    * NFORTRAN: option added to ignore any Fortran methods, even if a Fortran
        compiler is available.
    * port of new cmake-based build system to Windows
    * UMFPACK 6.1.0: copy/serialize/deserialize methods: added new methods to
        copy, serialize, and deserialize the Numeric and Symbolic objects.  By
        Will Kimmerer, revised by T. Davis.

Dec 29, 2022: SuiteSparse 6.0.4

    * NFORTRAN: option added to disable Fortran entirely
    * GraphBLAS v7.4.1:  global free pool disabled, and GrB_mxm heuristics

        no Fortran compiler found; minor change to build system
    * UMFPACK 6.0.2: Fortran no longer required; minor change to build system
    * Example: simple package that illustrates how to use SuiteSparse
        Find*.cmake modules in cmake.
    * not changed from SuiteSparse v6.0.1: ssget, CSparse, MATLAB_Tools

Nov 12, 2022: SuiteSparse 6.0.1

Nov 12, 2022: SuiteSparse 6.0.0

    * major update: using CMake build system for all packages
    * CMake Find*: all packages now have a Find*.cmake.  See
        SuiteSparse_config/cmake_modules.
    * integers: int (32-bit) and SuiteSparse_long (nominally 64-bit) replaced
        with int32_t and int64_t.  The SuiteSparse_long #define has been
        deprecated and removed.  Replace its use with int64_t in any code that
        uses SuiteSparse v6.0.0 or later.  This is unlikely to change any
        use of any SuiteSparse package, but since it's possible that
        SuiteSparse_long was 32-bits on some platforms, the SO_VERSIION of
        all packages has been increased by one.
    * UMFPACK: new options to support ParU.  Single umfpack.h include file.
    * CHOLMOD: Single cholmod.h include file.
    * SuiteSparse/metis-5.1.0: now embedded into CHOLMOD, in a different
        name space.  No longer an independent library.
    * SPDX License Identifier: added to each file. No change in license.
    * BLAS/LAPACK interface: now supports any Fortran BLAS/LAPACK, with
        either 32-bit (default) or 64-bit integers, via FindBLAS.cmake.
    * SPEX: replaces SLIP_LU

Aug 25, 2022, SuiteSparse 5.13.0

    * GraphBLAS v7.2.0:  see GraphBLAS/Doc/ChangeLog for details.
        * performance:  more compact serialization (ZSTD added, now the
            default compression method).
        * MATLAB interface: faster linear indexing, reshape, bandwidth,
            istril, istriu, isbanded, isdiag.  C(I,J)=A can now grow the
            size of C.
        * features: reshape methods, cube root operator, isStoredElement
        * bugs: a minor bug; user-defined types were incorrectly limited to
            128 bytes in size in v7.0.3.

Apr 10, 2022, SuiteSparse 5.12.0

    * GraphBLAS v7.0.3:  see GraphBLAS/Doc/ChangeLog for details.
        * performance: GrB_mxm, GrB_assign, and transpose
        * bug fix: vector iterator for bitmap
        * revised ACM TOMS submission: Doc/toms_parallel_grb2.pdf
        * spec bug: GrB_Matrix_diag was implemented incorrectly,
            thus requiring a version v7.x

Mar 14, 2022, SuiteSparse 5.11.0

    * GraphBLAS v6.2.5:  see GraphBLAS/Doc/ChangeLog for changes.
        Primary ones highlighted here:
        * v2.0 API: v6.x complies with the v2.0 C API of the GraphBLAS Spec.
            Note that GrB_wait, GrB_Info are now different than in the v1.3
            C API Specification (and in v5.x of SuiteSparse:GraphBLAS).
        * GxB_Iterator: to iterate over rows/cols/entries of a matrix or vector
        * GxB_eWiseUnion: like eWiseAdd but with the op always applied
        * GxB_Matrix/Vector_sort: to sort the vectors of a matrix
        * better performance: for sparse-times-dense and dense-times-sparse,
            in particular; also other cases for GrB_mxm, up to 10x faster.
        * Apple Silicon: port @GrB to Octave 7 (thanks to Gabor Szarnyas)
        * added cpu_features: by Google
        * added LZ4/LZ4HC: compression library, http://www.lz4.org (BSD 2),
            v1.9.3, Copyright (c) 2011-2016, Yann Collet, All Rights Reserved.
        * iso-valued matrices and vectors: to exploit the common case of
            an unweighted graph
        * bug fixes: 4 bugs fixed since SuiteSparse 5.10.1 with
            GraphBLAS v5.0.5.  12 other bugs appeared in the interim but
            appeared in versions after v5.0.5 but fixed before ever
            affecting SuiteSparse itself.

    * replaced UFget with ssget: affects nearly all packages:
        UMFPACK, KLU, CHOLMOD, CXSparse/CSparse, etc,
        but their version numbers are left unchanged since it affects
        the MATLAB tests only, not the compiled libraries.

Dec 8, 2016: SuiteSparse 4.5.4

    * minor update to SPQR for ACM TOMS submission

May 4, 2016: SuiteSparse 4.5.3

    * minor changes to Makefiles

Apr 1, 2016: SuiteSparse 4.5.2

    * licensing simplified (no other change); refer to PACKAGE/Doc/License.txt
        for the license for each package.

Feb 1, 2016: SuiteSparse 4.5.1

    * update to Makefiles.  Version 4.5.0 is broken on the Mac.
	That version also compiles *.so libraries on Linux with
	underlinked dependencies to other libraries in SuiteSparse.
	For example, AMD requires SuiteSparse_config.  The links to
	required libraries are now explicitly included in each library,
	in SuiteSparse 4.5.1.
    * minor change to CHOLMOD/Check/cholmod_write.c, when compiling with
	options that disable specific modules

Jan 30, 2016: SuiteSparse 4.5.0

    * better Makefiles for creating and installing shared libraries
    * CHOLMOD now uses METIS 5.1.0, which is distributed with SuiteSparse
    * fix for MATLAB R2015b, which changed how it creates empty matrices,
	as compared to prior versions of MATLAB.  This change in MATLAB
	breaks many of the mexFunctions in prior versions of SuiteSparse.
	If you use MATLAB R2015b, you must upgrade to SuiteSparse 4.5.0
	or later.

Jan 1, 2016: SuiteSparse 4.4.7

    * note that this minor update fails on the Mac, so its
        listed on my web page as a 'beta' release.
    * Improved the Makefiles of all packages.  They now create *.so
        shared libraries (*.dylib on the Mac).  Also, there is now
        only a single SuiteSparse_config.mk file.  It now determines
        your system automatically, and whether or not you have METIS
        and CUDA.  It also automatically detects if you have the Intel
        compiler or not, and uses it if it finds it.  There should be
        no need to edit this file for most cases, but you may need to
        for your particular system.  With this release, there are almost
        no changes to the source code, except for the VERSION numbers
        defined in the various include *.h files for each package.

Aug 2015: SuiteSparse version 4.4.6

    * SPQR: changed default tol when A has infs, from inf to realmax (~1e308)

July 2015: SuiteSparse version 4.4.5

    * CHOLMOD 3.0.6:
        - minor fix to CHOLMOD (disabling modules did not work as expected)
        - added MATLAB interface for row add/delete (lurowmod)
    * KLU 1.3.3: Fix for klu_dump.c (debugging case only)
    * UFcollection:  added additional stats for matrix collection
    * AMD: changed the default license.  See AMD/Doc/License.txt for details.

Mar 24, 2015: SuiteSparse version 4.4.4

    * CHOLMOD version number corrected.  In 4.4.3, the CHOLMOD_SUBSUB_VERSION
        string was left at '4' (it should have been '5', for CHOLMOD 3.0.5).
        This version of SuiteSparse corrects this glitch.
    * Minor changes to comments in SuiteSparse_config.
    * SPQR version 2.0.1 released (minor update to documentation)

Jan 19, 2015: SuiteSparse version 4.4.3
