For each release we provide some pre-built binaries of the library [here](https://github.com/ARM-software/ComputeLibrary/releases)
These binaries have been built using the following toolchains:
- - Linux armv7a: gcc-linaro-6.3.1-2017.05-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf
- - Linux arm64-v8a: gcc-linaro-6.3.1-2017.05-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu

+ - Android am64-v8a: clang++ / libc++ NDK r20b
@warning Make sure to use a compatible toolchain to build your application or you will get some std::bad_alloc errors at runtime.

- Experimental extension for the OpenCL tuner to tune the batches of work groups distribute to compute units
- Add functionality to load the OpenCL GEMM heuristics at runtime
- The GEMM heuristic file (MLGO) can be used to update the default GEMM heuristics available for OpenCL
+ - Note: there might be performance regressions against v20.08 in Inception v3 using int8 data types on Arm Mali-G77 GPUs. Currently under investigation
v20.11 Public major release
