For those that have not been following GNU Radio development, this is  
the  
first release of VOLK as a sub-project of GNU Radio. This means VOLK  
lives  
in its own git repository and is being tracked and developed independent  
of  
GNU Radio.

As part of this change there is a new project website  
([http://libvolk.org/](http://libvolk.org/))  
and IRC channel (#volk on Freenode).

Since being broken out in December and this release the following  
individuals have contributed to VOLK:

- Doug G. [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid)
- Elliot Briggs [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid)

- Nathan W. [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid)

Full release notes are on the website (  
[Vector Optimized Library of Kernels](http://libvolk.org/initial-release.html)). (raw versions available from  
[http://libvolk.org/news\_raw/](http://libvolk.org/news_raw/))

I’m excited about the change and hope to see the continuation and growth  
of  
VOLK development and community. If you see the opportunity for new  
kernels  
don’t hesitate to add them. It is not necessary to write an  
implementation  
for every architecture and it is often less work than you might think  
when  
adding a single kernel.
