 * FFT module is updated to perform in-place FFT in intermediate steps of ND FFT [#2543](https://github.com/IntelPython/dpnp/pull/2543)
 * Reused dpctl tensor include to enable experimental SYCL namespace for complex types [#2546](https://github.com/IntelPython/dpnp/pull/2546)
+* Refactored backend implementation of `dpnp.linalg.solve` to use oneMKL LAPACK `gesv` directly [#2558](https://github.com/IntelPython/dpnp/pull/2558)
