* Breaking changes
* This release of jaxlib switched to a new version of the CPU backend, which
should compile faster and leverage parallelism better. If you experience
any problems due to this change, you can temporarily enable the old CPU
backend by setting the environment variable
`XLA_FLAGS=--xla_cpu_use_thunk_runtime=false`. If you need to do this,
please file a JAX bug with instructions to reproduce.
* Hermetic CUDA support is added.
Hermetic CUDA uses a specific downloadable version of CUDA instead of the
users locally installed CUDA. Bazel will download CUDA, CUDNN and NCCL
