arrayfire-rust v3.7.2 Release Notes

Release Date: 2020-10-06 // over 3 years ago

v3.7.2

🚑 This fix release fixes a critical bug regarding thread safety of structure wrappers of ArrayFire objects. This bug was inadvertently introduced in the v3.7.1 release. Hence, we are going to yank that version from crates.io. Existing users of v3.7.1 will still be able to use that crate version although multi-threaded code might not work as expected. We strongly recommend upgrading to v3.7.2 for all users.

👌 Improvements

🚑 Apart from fixing the critical bug we have also added a new tutorial to our book with short code examples on how to use ArrayFire in multi-threaded programs

Thank you! everyone.
