     Currently, it is used by default for the new `RowVector` type only, and

+  * `rem` now accepts a `RoundingMode` argument via `rem(x, y, r::RoundingMode)`, yielding
+    `x - y*round(x/y, r)` without intermediate rounding. In particular, `rem(x, y, RoundNearest)`
+    yields a value in the interval `[-abs(y)/2, abs(y)/2]`), which corresponds to the IEE754

   * `map[!]` and `broadcast[!]` now have dedicated methods for sparse/structured
