Tensor Toolbox version 2.4 by Brett W. Bader, Tamara G. Kolda, Evrim
Acar, and Daniel M. Dunlavy.
Copyright 2010, Sandia National Laboratories.
Released March 22, 2010.

============================================
Changes from Version 2.3 (July 8, 2009)
============================================
General
- tenzeros(m,n): Now has the ability to create an mth-order tensor of
  size n in every mode. tenzeros(siz) still works as usual.
- tt_subcheck now uses isfinite rather than ~isnan and ~isinf based on
  error report from user.

Algorithms
- Added new cp_opt and cp_wopt functions (and related utility
  functions) for computing CP and weighted CP via optimization.
  Requires that the user also install the Poblano Toolbox for
  Matlab. This is freely available at
  http://software.sandia.gov/trac/poblano.
- Changed the way that cp_als and tucker_als handle input arguments so
  that they can now be parameter-value pairs. Should be backwards
  compatible with old calling sequence.
- cp_als: Reverted the way that Unew is calculated from Unew = Unew *
  pinv(Y) to Unew (Y \ Unew')'; which is from TTB2.2 and seems to give
  better performance.

Class: sptensor
- permute - Added check for empty tensor based on user error report.
- spmatrix - Added check for empty tensor based on user error report.
- sptensor - Replaced "~" with "junk" so it will work with Matlab 7.8
  (older version). Allowed sptensor to take an sptensor3 object
  (though this class is not released yet) as input and convert it.

Class: ktensor
- Revamped "arrange" so that it can also just accept a permutation and
  rearrange the components. 
- Adding a new "extract" function to select and extract a subset of the
  components (rank-one factors) of a ktensor. 
- Adding a new function "ncomponents" to return the number of
  components.
- Added a "normalize" function that normalizes the columns of the factor
  matrices to length 1 and absorbs the weights into lambda (without
  rearranging the factors). 
- Added new function "tocell" to convert a ktensor to a cell array.

Class: sptenmat
- In function "double", added check for empty tensor based on error
  report from user.

============================================
Changes from Version 2.2 (January 10, 2007)
============================================
General:
- Added Memory Efficient Tucker (MET) package by Tamara Kolda and
  Jimeng Sun. Type 'help tucker_me' after installation for more
  information. 
- Fixed bug in tenzeros command so that it now returns an empty tensor
  when the initial size is emtpy.
- Fixed bug in tt_assignment_type so that it works with a sparse
  tensor that is initially completely empty.
- Added comments to tt_sub2ind and tt_ind2sub.
- Removed errant ^M's at the end of every line of tt_subscheck.

Algorithms:
- Changed parafac_als to cp_als (old one can still be called but is
  deprecated). 
- Added an option to cp_als to only print the information every n
  iterations where n is a user-defined parameter. Also fixed bug in
  the case of R=1.
- Added new cp_nmu function for computing a nonnegative tensor
  factorization based upon Lee & Seung's NMF multiplicative update.
- Made calculation of residual in Tucker more efficient.

Class: tensor
- Adds reshape command.
- Fixed find function so that it always returns a column vector. 
  (Bug# 3969) 
- Fixed tenfun documentation. (Bug# 3339)

Class: sptensor
- Adds reshape and spmatrix commands.
- Fixed bug in constructor so that it checks for subscripts out of
  range and other input problems. (Bug# 3925)
- Fixed bug is subsasgn so that it works for a certain way of
  inserting complex values. (Bug #3868)
- Fixed bug in disp function for sptensor that caused it not to accept
  the user input to display all nonzeros for large tensors. (Bug #4009)
- Fixed bug in collapse so that it handles empty sptensor's correctly.
- Fixed bug in rdivide so that it will work correctly when either
  argument is an empty tensor.
- Fixed bug in squeeze so that it now works correctly for sptensor's
  with no nonzero elements. (Bug #3002)
- Fixed bug in subsasgn for a sptensor so that it works even when the
  initial tensor is completely empty. 
- Fixed bug in ttt so that it works even when one of the sptensors has
  zero nonzeros. (Bug #3017)
- Fixed bug in elemfun that didn't remove those nonzeros that had
  become zero (e.g., log 1 = 0). (Bug# 3235)

Class: sptenmat
- Fixed bug in sptenmat so that it works when it is passed an sptensor
  that doesn't have any entries.

============================================
Changes from Version 2.1 (December 1, 2006)
============================================
General:
- Added INSTALL.txt with installation instructions.
- Updated copyright date from 2006 to 2007 throughout.

Classes: tensor and sptensor
- Added transpose and ctranspose functions that throw an error
  (transpose is not supported for tensors, but previously would do
  nothing as if it *had* performed the transpose).
- Added ldivide, rdivide, lmdivide, and rmdivide, though they all work
  only with scalars.

Class: tensor
- Added isequal.
- Made find slightly more efficient in the case where the
  corresponding values are not also returned.
- Fixed bug in assigning elements to 1-dimensional tensors.

Class: sptensor
- Cleaner display with disp or display functions.
- Added checks against invalid sizes and subscripts for tensor
  construction and subscripted reference and assignment.
- Fixed bug where the index 58 was confused with the character ':'
  in subscripted reference and assignment.
- Made results of logical operators consistent with how sparse
  matrices work, i.e., produces a dense tensor iff the equivalent
  command on a sparse matrix would do the same.
- Plus and minus now work with a scalar or dense tensor, and the
  result in those cases is dense.
- Added ability to do .* with a scalar.
- Made it so that isequal now works with dense tensors and will return
  true if the two tensors are equivalent.
- Fixed bugs in double and squeeze on an all-zero sparse tensor.

============================================
Changes from Version 2.0 (September 6, 2006)
============================================
All
- innerprod: Added checks that sizes match
- Improved subscripted assignment for tensor and sptensor. Now
  supports assignment to a scalar (i.e., assign every element to that
  scalar) and growth in both the size and number of dimensions.

Class: tensor
- Added new function: nnz
- tenfun (and most relational operations): Fixed major bug is
  dense-sparse comparisons.

Class: sptensor 
- Added new functions: not, and, or, xor, eq, ne, le, lt, ge, gt, isequal
- sptensor: Fixed bug where a 1D tensor was not correctly converted to
  a sparse tensor. Also, added ability to accept an MDA as an input
  and to accept a list of logical values as well as numerics.
- subsref: Fixed bug on subscripted reference to an empty tensor.
- ttt: Major overhaul that fixes a number of bugs and improves
  efficiency dramatically.
- nvecs: Improved efficiency by converting to MATLAB sparse matrix
  and calling eigs on that rather than calling eigs with the aatx
  function. 
- disp/display: Fixed bug that caused tensors with a *single* element
  to display incorrectly.
- full: Fixed bug that caused it to fail if called on a completely
  empty tensor.

Class: ttensor
- innerprod/norm/nvecs: Improved efficiency.
- ttm: Removed errant debug print statements.

Class: ktensor
- datadisp.m: Minor changes to formatting.

Other
- License.txt: Removed an errant "7.3" that was in the text. 
- Fixed top-level contents file and added version information so that
  it will show up from MATLAB's ver command.
