-NMatrix is part of SciRuby, a collaborative effort to bring scientific computation to Ruby. If you want to help, please
-do so!
-
-This guide covers ways in which you can contribute to the development of SciRuby and, more specifically, NMatrix.
-
-## How to help
-
-There are various ways to help NMatrix: bug reports, coding and documentation. All of them are important.
-
-First, you can help implement new features or bug fixes. To do that, visit our
-[roadmap](https://github.com/SciRuby/nmatrix/wiki/Roadmap) or our [issue tracker][2]. If you find something that you
-want to work on, post it in the issue or on our [mailing list][1].
-
-You need to send tests together with your code. No exceptions. You can ask for our opinion, but we won't accept patches
-without good spec coverage.
-
-We use RSpec for testing. If you aren't familiar with it, there's a good
-[guide to better specs with RSpec](http://betterspecs.org/) that shows a bit of the syntax and how to use it properly.
-However, the best resource is probably the specs that already exist -- so just read them.
-
-And don't forget to write documentation (we use RDoc). It's necessary to allow others to know what's available in the
-library. There's a section on it later in this guide.
-
-We only accept bug reports and pull requests in GitHub. You'll need to create a new (free) account if you don't have one
-already. To learn how to create a pull request, please see
-[this guide on collaborating](https://help.github.com/categories/63/articles).
-
-If you have a question about how to use NMatrix or SciRuby in general or a feature/change in mind, please ask the
-[sciruby-dev mailing list][1].
-
-Thanks!
-
-## Coding
-
-To start helping with the code, you need to have all the dependencies in place:
-
-- ATLAS and LAPACK
-- GCC 4.3+
-- git
-- Ruby 1.9+
-- `bundler` gem
-
-Now, you need to clone the git repository:
-
-```bash
-$ git clone git://github.com/SciRuby/nmatrix.git
-$ cd nmatrix
-$ bundle install
-$ rake compile
-$ rake spec
-```
-
-This will install all dependencies, compile the extension and run the specs.
-
-If everything's fine until now, you can create a new branch to work on your feature:
-
-```bash
-$ git branch new-feature
-$ git checkout new-feature
-```
-
-Before commiting any code, please read our
-[Contributor Agreement](http://github.com/SciRuby/sciruby/wiki/Contributor-Agreement).
-
-## Documentation
-
-There are two ways in which NMatrix is being documented: guides and comments, which are converted with RDoc into the
-documentation seen in [sciruby.com](http://sciruby.com).
-
-If you want to write a guide on how to use NMatrix to solve some problem or simply showing how to use one of its
-features, write it as a wiki page and send an e-mail on the [mailing list][1]. We're working to improve this process.
-
-If you aren't familiar with RDoc syntax,
-[this is the official documentation](http://docs.seattlerb.org/rdoc/RDoc/Markup.html).
-
-## Conclusion
-
-This guide was heavily based on the
-[Contributing to Ruby on Rails guide](http://edgeguides.rubyonrails.org/contributing_to_ruby_on_rails.html).

-
-  * Matrix-scalar operations (dense, list)
-
-  * Shortcuts for matrix creation (by @agarie)
-
-  * Access to most ATLAS-implemented LAPACK functions for those
-    with ATLAS' CLAPACK interface: xGETRF, xGETRI, xGETRS, xGESV,

-
-* 3 major enhancements
-
-  * Added a more user-friendly interface for cblas_rot in the form of
-    NMatrix::BLAS::rot

-
-* 8 bug fixes:
-
-  * NMatrix::BLAS::gemv segfaults

-    (which are based on shape) differ, and a separate problem where
-    incorrect IJA and A entries were written.
-
-  * NVector-scalar operations and NVector-NVector element-wise
-    options now return an NVector instead of an NMatrix

-=== 0.0.5 / 2013-07-09
-
-* 4 major enhancements
-
-  * NVector orientation is now controlled by its shape, not by the
-    @orientation property
-
-  * NVector default orientation is now a row vector rather than a
-    column, as this is more efficient for Yale storage
-
-  * NVector objects may now be created with dtypes other than dense
-
-  * Exposure of additional ATLAS-implemented BLAS functions,
-    including native rational and Ruby object support, for xANUM (sum
-    of the absolute values of a vector) and xNRM2 (2-norm of a
-    vector); and Ruby helper functions BLAS::anum and BLAS::nrm2
-    which should do more careful argument sanity checking
-
-* 9 minor enhancements
-
-  * Added #yale_vector_insert to NMatrix::YaleFunctions, to speed up
-    insertion of multiple items into a Yale matrix
-
-  * Added #yale_nd_row, #yale_nd_row_as_hash, #yale_nd_row_as_array,
-    #yale_nd_row_as_set, #yale_nd_row_as_sorted_set, #yale_row,
-    #yale_row_as_hash, #yale_row_as_array, #yale_row_as_set,
-    #yale_row_as_sorted_set, #yale_nd_row_size to
-    NMatrix::YaleFunctions in order to speed up getting multiple
-    items from some row of a Yale matrix
-
-  * Improved #yale_ija, #yale_a, #yale_d by allowing an optional
-    index argument, which returns a single array value instead of
-    copying and returning the entire array
-
-  * Improved sorting algorithm for Yale matrix multiplication;
-    instead of selection sort, now uses quicksort; and subs in
-    insertion sort for small partitions
-
-  * Slicing a single row or column now returns an NVector instead
-    of an NMatrix (does not yet work for n-dimensional matrices)
-
-  * Improved function documentation for NVector and NMatrix
-
-  * Added #min, #max, #to_a, #shuffle, #shuffle!, #absolute_sum,
-    #norm2 functions to NVector
-
-  * Aliased missing dimension of NVector#each_stored_with_indices to
-    #each_stored_with_index, which only yields a value and i or j
-    (not both i and j) depending on the vector orientation
-
-  * Added #each_row, #each_column to NMatrix
-
-* 5 bug fixes:
-
-  * Dense iterators now return self (an NMatrix) in order to be
-    consistent with Ruby Array behavior (by @cjfuller)
-
-  * Fixed Yale resize problem (by @v0dro)
-
-  * Fixed Yale nx1 times 1xn multiplication problem
-
-  * Fixed Yale sorting-following-multiplication problem
-
-  * NMatrix::read() now raises an exception when asked to read a file 
-    that does not exist
-
-=== 0.0.6 / 2013-08-09
-
-* 8 major enhancements:
-
-  * Refactored iteration, so that each storage type now has each of:
-    #each, #each_with_indices, #each_stored_with_indices
-
-  * Added element-wise power function (**) for dense matrices (by
-    @agarie)
-
-  * Dramatically improved matrix element-wise and scalar functions so
-    C++ templates are no longer necessary; element-wise operations
-    may now be written in protected Ruby methods that look like
-    NMatrix#__list_elementwise_op__ and NMatrix#__list_scalar_op__
-
-  * Element-wise and scalar operations that might return a true or
-    false now return Ruby matrices
-
-  * Yale element-wise and scalar operations have been added
-
-  * Yale is now allowed to have a non-zero default (specifically to
-    permit true-false matrices and nil sparse bases)
-
-  * Dramatically improved NMatrix#cast to allow for hashed options
-    including a :default for list and yale casts
-
-  * Dramatically improved speed of compilation
-
-* 14 minor enhancements:
-
-  * Improved documentation for exposed BLAS and LAPACK functions
-
-  * Allowed for use of BLAS::rot without cloning x and y (in-place
-    plane rotation); removed unnecessary test of unfriendly version
-
-  * Added more user-friendly cblas_xrotg implementation: BLAS::rotg
-
-  * Moved NMatrix::YaleFunctions::yale_vector_insert to
-    NMatrix#__yale_vector_set__, which is more consistent with
-    behavior
-
-  * Changed notations for protected stype-specific functions, which
-    now look like __stype_method_name__, e.g., __yale_vector_set__
-
-  * Added NMatrix#__list_default_value__ protected function to get
-    the initial (sparse) value for list matrices
-
-  * Changed behavior and names of NMatrix::YaleFunctions methods
-    which get column indices and cell contents by row, so that they
-    now expect the :keys option (like Hash#keys) instead of :array,
-    which doesn't make sense; name changes are as follows:
-      yale_row_as_sorted_set -> yale_ja_d_keys_sorted_set_at
-      yale_row_as_set -> yale_ja_d_keys_set_at
-      yale_row_as_array -> yale_ja_d_keys_at
-      yale_nd_row_as_sorted_set -> yale_ja_sorted_set_at
-      yale_nd_row_as_set -> yale_ja_set_at
-      yale_nd_row_as_array -> yale_ja_at
-    Aliases are included but will be removed without notice.
-
-  * Added NVector#sorted_indices and #binned_sorted_indices for use
-    when running k-nearest neighbor searches on a distance matrix
-
-  * Added NVector::logspace shortcut function (analogous to

-    String#camelize, String#underscore)
-
-  * Re-enabled element-wise mod (%) method
-
-  * Added NMatrix::guess_dtype class method, which allows you to
-    figure out what dtype (roughly) should be used for any given
-    Ruby value (e.g., 3)
-
-  * String and nil objects in NMatrix cells are no longer outlawed
-    (but are not supported), provided they are of the :object dtype

-
-=== 0.0.7 / 2013-08-22
-
-* 6 major enhancements:
-
-  * Eliminated NVector in favor of NMatrix objects with
-    #effective_dim smaller than #dim; added NVector-like
-    functionality to NMatrix, sometimes with #respond_to? dependent
-    upon matrix dimensions; allowed for NVector.new to continue
-    to function as before, but now returns an NMatrix instead
-
-  * Began major re-factoring of headers for math.cpp
-
-  * Added two singular value decomposition functions for dense
-    NMatrix objects, #gesvd and #gesdd, for floating point and
-    complex dtypes
-
-  * Added additional slicing shorthand, which uses hashes (e.g.,
-    n[0=>3,2] for n[0..3,2]), which may eventually allow users to use
-    n[0:3,2] notation instead (needs Ruby core patch)
-

-    given matrix (needed for RSpec)
-
-  * Added NMatrix#size to compute the total number of cells in an
-    NMatrix object (solely accounting for the shape, not sparsity)
-
-  * Added RSpec monkey patches for #be_within to work with NMatrix
-    objects; usable by requiring "nmatrix/rspec"

-  * Added #rank and #each_rank generics for #row/#column/#layer and
-    #each_row/#each_column/#each_layer respectively (#each_rank
-    replaces #each_along_dim)
-
-  * Replaced #reduce_along_dim with #inject_rank
-
-  * NMatrix#to_a now works for up to two dimensional matrices; and
-    returns a flattened array for single-row matrices
-
-  * NMatrix#to_flat_a now returns a flattened array of all entries
-
-  * Re-organized NMatrix Ruby sources into multiple files: math.rb
-    for instance methods which are mathematical in nature or are
-    essentially ATLAS/LAPACK/BLAS calls, enumerate.rb for methods
-    involving enumeration; and existing shortcuts.rb for convenience
-    functions and shortcut constructors, and nmatrix.rb for core
-    functionality (#inspect, #to_h, #to_a, #to_s, #pretty_print,
-    and so on)
-
-  * Improved #pretty_print, which now also prints layers (the third
-    dimension in a 3D matrix)
-
-  * Re-factored some of dense slicing to remove some redundant code
-
-  * Added shortcut functions #list?, #dense?, #yale? for quickly
-    testing matrix storage type

-    set of header files
-
-  * Enabled Travis CI (by @cjfuller)
