+- Update to version 3.0.0:
+  + Added non-contiguous submatrix views
+  + Added shorthand for inverse: .i()
+  + Added hist() and histc()
+  + Faster repmat()
+  + Faster handling of submatrix views with one row or column
+  + Faster generation of random numbers
+  + Faster element access in fixed size matrices
+  + Better detection of vector expressions by various functions
+  + Expressions X=A.i()*B and X=inv(A)*B are automatically
+    converted to X=solve(A,B)
+- Rename shared library package to libarmadillo3 in keeping with
+  .so file number change
+- Update baselibs.conf in keeping with changes to the shared
+  library package name.
