VOLK release 1.0 is now available for download:
http://libvolk.org/releases/volk-1.0.tar.gz
MD5 sum: a17129f171747a0ac74fe44686227b69
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/) and
IRC channel (#volk on Freenode).
Since being broken out in December and this release the following individuals
have contributed to VOLK:
* Albert Holguin <aholguin...@yahoo.com>
* Doug Geiger <doug.gei...@bioradiation.net>
* Elliot Briggs <elliot.bri...@gmail.com>
* Julien Olivain <julien.oliv...@lsv.ens-cachan.fr>
* Michael Dickens <michael.dick...@ettus.com>
* Nathan West <nathan.w...@okstate.edu>
* Tom Rondeau <t...@trondeau.com>
Full release notes are on the website (http://libvolk.org/initial-release.html
). (raw versions available from 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.

As gnuradio maintainer I have been providing libvolk0.0.0, libvolk-dev and
libvolk-bin binary packages from the gnuradio source package. In the future
those will be build from the volk source package in Debian, and gnuradio
will depend on them. (Future gnuradio sources will no longer contain
the VOLK source.)
