* [Scatter plot](https://github.com/arrayfire/arrayfire/pull/1116) added to graphics.
* \ref af::transform() now supports perspective transformation matrices.
* \ref af::infoString(): Returns `af::info()` as a string.
+* \ref af::printMemInfo(): Print a table showing information about buffer from the memory manager
+ * The \ref AF_MEM_INFO macro prints numbers and total sizes of all buffers (requires including af/macros.h)
* \ref af::allocHost(): Allocates memory on host.
* \ref af::freeHost(): Frees host side memory allocated by arrayfire.
-* Functions specific to OpenCl backend.
+* OpenCL functions can now use CPU implementation.
+ * Currently limited to Unified Memory devices (CPU and On-board Graphics).
+ * Functions: af::matmul() and all [LAPACK](\ref linalg_mat) functions.
+ * Takes advantage of optimized libraries such as MKL without doing memory copies.
+ * Use the environment variable `AF_OPENCL_CPU_OFFLOAD=1` to take advantage of this feature.
+* Functions specific to OpenCL backend.
* \ref afcl::addDevice(): Adds an external device and context to ArrayFire's device manager.
* \ref afcl::deleteDevice(): Removes an external device and context from ArrayFire's device manager.
* \ref afcl::setDevice(): Sets an external device and context from ArrayFire's device manager.
* \ref afcl::getDeviceType(): Gets the device type of the current device.
* \ref afcl::getPlatform(): Gets the platform of the current device.
+* \ref af::createStridedArray() allows [array creation user-defined strides](https://github.com/arrayfire/arrayfire/issues/1177) and device pointer.
+* [Expose functions](https://github.com/arrayfire/arrayfire/issues/1131) that provide information
+ about memory layout of Arrays.
+ * \ref af::getStrides(): Gets the strides for each dimension of the array.
+ * \ref af::getOffset(): Gets the offsets for each dimension of the array.
+ * \ref af::getRawPtr(): Gets raw pointer to the location of the array on device.
+ * \ref af::isLinear(): Returns true if all elements in the array are contiguous.
+ * \ref af::isOwner(): Returns true if the array owns the raw pointer, false if it is a sub-array.
+ * \ref af::getStrides(): Gets the strides of the array.
+ * \ref af::getStrides(): Gets the strides of the array.
+* \ref af::getDeviceId(): Gets the device id on which the array resides.
+* \ref af::isImageIOAvailable(): Returns true if ArrayFire was compiled with Freeimage enabled
+* \ref af::isLAPACKAvailable(): Returns true if ArrayFire was compiled with LAPACK functions enabled
