=== v1.8.1 === (31 December 2014)

A minor update of ``ispc`` with several important stability fixes, namely:

* Auto-dispatch mechanism is fixed in pre-built Linux binaries (it used to

  select too conservative target).

* Compile crash with "-O2 -g" is fixed.

Also KNC (Xeon Phi) support is further improved.

The release includes experimental build for Sony PlayStation4 target (Windows

cross compiler), as well NVPTX experimental support (64 bit Linux binaries

only). Note that there might be NVPTX compilation fails with CUDA 7.0.

Similar to 1.8.0 all binaries are based on LLVM 3.5. MacOS binaries are built

for MacOS 10.9 Mavericks. Linux binaries are compatible with kernel 2.6.32

(ok for RHEL6) and later.
