   condition in some applications.
 
 * Added vector math library named libmvec with the following vectorized x86_64
-  implementations: cos, cosf, sin, sinf, log, logf, exp, expf, pow.
+  implementations: cos, cosf, sin, sinf, log, logf, exp, expf, pow, powf.
   The library can be disabled with --disable-mathvec. Use of the functions is
   enabled with -fopenmp -ffast-math starting from -O1 for GCC version >= 4.9.0.
   The library is linked in as needed when using -lm (no need to specify -lmvec
