  !32

The implementation is a WIP. Currently, the only known issue is that
when using armral_ldpc_decode_block, you need to allocate 16 more bytes
for the output buffer compared to what is advertised in the interface.

Release 25.01

See merge request !29

Fix LDPC decoding accuracy

See merge request !26

A poster on our forum observed that the accuracy of our LDPC decoder
was very much worse than that of other implementations.

The cause is that we do all our calculations in int8_t fixed-point,
which quickly saturates. The fix is to do all intermediate
calculations in int16_t fixed-point.

On average this causes a performance regression of between 1.2x and
1.3x across all ArmRAL benchmarks.

Move license to LICENSE.md

See merge request !15

This will allow Gitlab to automatically detect it and link to it from
the front page of the project, which will make it more visible to
users.

Also update the list of third party licenses (currently empty) to
match and update the documentation to point to the new license files.

Add CHANGELOG.md

See merge request !13

This collates all the change information from the Release Notes for
all releases into a single document. Subsequent releases will have
this information added in future.

We also update the Merge Request templates to tell contributors to
update the Changelog.
