       Nathan Reed: warning fixes for 1.0
 
    REVISIONS
+      2.14 (2025-05-09) fixed a bug using downsampling gather horizontal first, and 
+                          scatter with vertical first.
       2.13 (2025-02-27) fixed a bug when using input callbacks, turned off simd for 
                           tiny-c, fixed some variables that should have been static,
                           fixes a bug when calculating temp memory with resizes that
