# Change Log for rocRAND

Full documentation for rocRAND is available at [https://rocrand.readthedocs.io/en/latest/](https://rocrand.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)

## rocRAND-2.10.13 for ROCm 5.1.0
### Added
- Generating a random sequence different sizes now produces the same sequence without gaps
  indepent of how many values are generated per call.
  - Only in the case of XORWOW, MRG32K3A, PHILOX4X32_10, SOBOL32 and SOBOL64
  - This only holds true if the size in each call is a divisor of the distributions
    `output_width` due to performance
  - Similarly the output pointer has to be aligned to `output_width * sizeof(output_type)`
### Changed
- [hipRAND](https://github.com/ROCmSoftwarePlatform/hipRAND.git) split into a separate package
- Header file installation location changed to match other libraries.
  - Using the `rocrand.h` header file should now use `#include <rocrand/rocrand.h>`, rather than `#include <rocrand/rocrand.h>`
- rocRAND still includes hipRAND using a submodule
  - The rocRAND package also sets the provides field with hipRAND, so projects which require hipRAND can begin to specify it.
### Fixed
- Fix offset behaviour for XORWOW, MRG32K3A and PHILOX4X32_10 generator, setting offset now
  correctly generates the same sequence starting from the offset.
  - Only uniform int and float will work as these can be generated with a single call to the generator
### Known issues
- kernel_xorwow unit test is failing for certain GPU architectures.

## rocRAND-2.10.12 for ROCm 5.0.0
### Changed
- No updates or changes for ROCm 5.0.0.

## rocRAND-2.10.12 for ROCm 4.5.0
### Addded
- Initial HIP on Windows support. See README for instructions on how to build and install.
### Changed
- Packaging split into a runtime package called rocrand and a development package called rocrand-devel. The development package depends on runtime. The runtime package suggests the development package for all supported OSes except CentOS 7 to aid in the transition. The suggests feature in packaging is introduced as a deprecated feature and will be removed in a future rocm release.
### Fixed
- Fix for mrg_uniform_distribution_double generating incorrect range of values
- Fix for order of state calls for log_normal, normal, and uniform
### Known issues
- kernel_xorwow test is failing for certain GPU architectures.

## [rocRAND-2.10.11 for ROCm 4.4.0]
### Added

## [rocRAND-2.10.10 for ROCm 4.3.0]
### Added

- gfx1030 support added
- gfx803 supported re-enabled
### Fixed
- Memory leaks in Poisson tests has been fixed.
- Memory leaks when generator has been created but setting seed/offset/dimensions throws an exception has been fixed.

## [rocRAND-2.10.9 for ROCm 4.2.0]
### Fixed
- rocRAND benchmark performance drop for xorwow has been fixed for older ROCm builds.

## [rocRAND-2.10.8 for ROCm 4.1.0]
