Fedora Core 5 liboil-0.3.8-1 Critical CPU Optimization Advisory

Liboil is a library of simple functions that are optimized for various CPUs.

These functions are generally loops implementing simple algorithms, such as

converting an array of N integers to floating-poing numbers or multiplying

and summing an array of N numbers. Clearly such functions are candidates for

significant optimization using various techniques, especially by using

extended instructions provided by modern CPUs (Altivec, MMX, SSE, etc.).

This update rebases liboil to 0.3.8 to help resolve issues

required by packages in Fedora Extras.

- Update to 0.3.8 (bug 186930)

* Tue Mar 21 2006 Matthias Saou 0.3.7.1-1

- Update to today's CVS code which should fix the PPC build issue.

- Include new oil-bugreport tool in the devel package.

* Mon Mar 6 2006 Matthias Saou 0.3.7-3

- FC5 rebuild (well, try at least since PPC fixes are required).
