 The function `block_diag` was enhanced to accept scalar and 1D arguments,
 along with the usual 2D arguments.
 
+New sparse least squares solver
+-------------------------------
+The `lsqr` function was added to `scipy.sparse`.  `This routine
+<http://www.stanford.edu/group/SOL/software/lsqr.html>`_ finds a
+least-squares solution to a large, sparse, linear system of equations.
