+    * GetRotationMatrix2D, WarpAffine and WarpAffineWithParams
+    * use NormL2 in wrap affine
+* **pvl**
+    * add support for FaceRecognizer
+    * complete wrappers for all missing FaceDetector functions
+    * update instructions to match R3 of Intel CV SDK
+* **docs**
+    * add more detail about exactly which functions are not yet implememented in the modules that are marked as 'Work Started'
+    * add refernece to Tensorflow example, and also suggest brew upgrade for MacOS
+    * improve ROADMAP to help would-be contributors know where to get started
+    * in the readme, explain compiling to a static library
+    * remove many godoc warnings by improving function descriptions
+    * update all OpenCV 3.3.1 references to v3.4.0
