 New Features:
  * More Theano determinism (Ian G., Olivier D., Pascal L.)
      * Add and use a new class OrderedSet.
-     * Modify theano.grad to be determinist.
-     * Warn when using a dict as the updates argument to theano.compile.function, since this makes the returned function non-deterministic.
-     * The Updates class was not appropriate for representing updates because it is non-deterministic; replaced it with the OrderedUpdates class.
- * Implemented GpuContiguous.grad. (Ian G.)

 Interface Change:

  * Theano functions now always have a field name, default to None. (Frederic B.)
