Write release note for version 0.5
Wraps the README text in 72 columns to match the convention of plain
text e-mails. It can therefore be sent as a publication announcement
e-mail without being reformatted.

# RSIMD
-RSIMD is a C library whose purpose is to facilitate the use of SIMD instruction
-sets. It implements linear algebra operations for 3x3 and 4x4 matrices stored
-in SIMD vectors as arrays of structures. Vectorized linear algebra operations
-on structures of arrays, for 2, 3 and 4 dimensional vectors are also
-implemented. Finally, it provides a vectorized version of the standard
-mathematical functions.

## Release notes
+### Version 0.5
+
+- Replace CMake by Makefile as build system.
+- Provide a pkg-config file to link the library as an external
+ dependency.
+
### Version 0.4
-- Make the sleef library an internal dependency that library users don't have
- to worry about: calls to the sleef library are moved from API headers to C
- files.
-- Set the C standard to C99 instead of C89: this allows the use of official
- (i.e. unpatched) sleef headers whose comments are written using C99-style
- comments. Note that since sleef is now an internal dependency, the rsimd API
- remains C89 compliant.
-- Remove the file COPYING.LESSER from the installation target: since version
- 0.3, the library is distributed under GPLv3+.

### Version 0.3
- Add 8-way vector API for the float and int32 types.
- Add the `v<4|8>i_[reduce_]<min|max>` functions.
- Add the `v4i_minus` function.
-- Rely on the [Sleef](https://sleef.org) library to replace the hand-crafted
- implementation of the trigonometric functions.
-- Add math functions for both 4-way and 8-way vectors. Provided math functions are:
- copysign, floor, pow, exp[<2|10>] and log[<2|10>].
