0.7.1

Added

• C# backend by Mikkel Storgaard Knudsen (futhark-cs/futhark-csopencl).

• futhark-test and futhark-bench now take a --runner option.

• futharki now uses a new interpreter that directly interprets the
  source language, rather than operating on the desugared core
  language. In practice, this means that the interactive mode is
  better, but that interpretation is also much slower.

• A trace function that is semantically id, but makes futharki
  print out the value.

• A break function that is semantically id, but makes futharki
  stop and provide the opportunity to inspect variables in scope.

• A new SOAC, reduce_by_index, for expressing generalised
  reductions (sometimes called histograms). Designed and
  implemented by Sune Hellfritzsch.

Removed

• Most of futlib has been removed. Use external packages instead:

  • futlib/colour => https://github.com/athas/matte

  • futlib/complex => https://github.com/diku-dk/complex

  • futlib/date => https://github.com/diku-dk/date

  • futlib/fft => https://github.com/diku-dk/fft

  • futlib/linalg => https://github.com/diku-dk/fft

  • futlib/merge_sort, futlib/radix_sort => https://github.com/diku-dk/sorts

  • futlib/random => https://github.com/diku-dk/cpprandom

  • futlib/segmented => https://github.com/diku-dk/segmented

  • futlib/sobol => https://github.com/diku-dk/sobol

  • futlib/vector => https://github.com/athas/vector

  No replacement: futlib/mss, futlib/lss.

• zip6/zip7/zip8 and their unzip variants have been removed.
  If you build gigantic tuples, you're on your own.

• The >>> operator has been removed. Use an unsigned integer type
  if you want zero-extended right shifts.

Changed

• The largest/smallest values for numeric modules have been
  renamed highest/lowest.

Fixed

• Many small things.
