+  <li> <p> Deprecated: The functions <code class="member">Vector::scale</code>
+       and <code class="member">BlockVector::scale</code> are now deprecated
+       and will be removed in a future version. Use <code>operator*=</code> and
+       <code>operator/=</code> instead.

   <li> <p> New: <code class="class">PointerMatrix</code> now
-  has empty() function, which returns true if the pointer is null; otherwise
-  we call the pointer's empty() function.  This requires the class MATRIX
