Changes in version 1.4.0:

    o   Removed native support for RleMatrix and packed symmetric matrices.

    o   Added multi-row/column getters.

    o   Added mechanism for native support of arbitrary developer-defined
	 matrices.

    o   Switched to row/colGrid() for defining chunks in unsupported
	 matrices.

Changes in version 1.2.0:

    o   Changed environment variable to BEACHMAT_RPATH for consistency with
	 other packages.

    o   Added native support for transposition and subsetting in
	 DelayedMatrix objects.

    o   Added support for chunk-by-chunk realization of otherwise
	 unsupported matrices, including DelayedMatrix objects with other
	 delayed operations.

    o   Added the get_const_col_indexed() method for input matrices,
	 especially fast for sparse representations.

    o   Added the set_col_indexed() and set_row_indexed() methods for output
	 matrices.

    o   Updated vignettes and expanded the test suite.

Changes in version 1.0.0:

    o   New package beachmat, which provides a C++ API for handling various
	 R matrix types.
