+- update to version 0.38.0:
+  * highlights:
+    + Numba (via llvmlite) is now backed by LLVM 6.0, general
+      vectorization is improved as a result. A significant long
+      standing LLVM bug that was causing corruption was also found and
+      fixed.
+    + Further considerable improvements in vectorization are made
+      available as Numba now supports Intel's short vector math
+      library (SVML).  Try it out with `conda install -c numba
+      icc_rt`.
+    + CUDA 8.0 is now the minimum supported CUDA version.
+  * Other highlights include:
+    + Bug fixes to `parallel=True` have enabled more vectorization
+      opportunities when using the ParallelAccelerator technology.
+    + Much effort has gone into improving error reporting and the
+      general usability of Numba. This includes highlighted error
+      messages and performance tips documentation. Try it out with
+      `conda install colorama`.
+    + A number of new NumPy functions are supported, `np.convolve`,
+      `np.correlate` `np.reshape`, `np.transpose`, `np.permutation`,
+      `np.real`, `np.imag`, and `np.searchsorted` now supports
+      the`side` kwarg. Further, `np.argsort` now supports the `kind`
+      kwarg with `quicksort` and `mergesort` available.
+    + The Numba extension API has gained the ability operate more
+      easily with functions from Cython modules through the use of
+      `numba.extending.get_cython_function_address` to obtain function
+      addresses for direct use in `ctypes.CFUNCTYPE`.
+    + Numba now allows the passing of jitted functions (and containers
+      of jitted functions) as arguments to other jitted functions.
+    + The CUDA functionality has gained support for a larger selection
+      of bit manipulation intrinsics, also SELP, and has had a number
+      of bugs fixed.
+    + Initial work to support the PPC64LE platform has been added,
+      full support is however waiting on the LLVM 6.0.1 release as it
+      contains critical patches not present in 6.0.0.  It is hoped
+      that any remaining issues will be fixed in the next release.
+    + The capacity for advanced users/compiler engineers to define
+      their own compilation pipelines.
