In case anyone is interested. PDL is about as close as you get to Perl for HPC and scientific computing.

Enjoy, Chris Release Notes for PDL 2.4.9_004 -------------------------- General Notes: * Another quick CPAN developers release - It is a snapshot of the current git development tree and everything may not work correctly or have complete documentation. - These release notes may not be fully complete. Please see Changes (from the git log) for full details. - All tests may not pass, especially ones corresponding to issues in Known_problems. - Manual build/install is recommended although the cpan shell may be used by specifying the distribution path rather than just the module name, e.g.: cpan> get CHM/PDL-2.4.9_004.tar.gz cpan> make CHM/PDL-2.4.9_004.tar.gz cpan> test CHM/PDL-2.4.9_004.tar.gz cpan> look CHM/PDL-2.4.9_004.tar.gz Highlights: * Add 'use PDL::Constants' to default.perldl in preparation for eventual inclusion for 'use PDL'. The PDL::Constants module only defines PI and E at the moment. I would like to see a few more standard ones added such as I or J for the imaginary unit value. * Set $PDL::IO::FlexRaw::writeflexhdr=1 in PDL shell. This enables writeflex() to call writeflexhdr() automatically when a filename is given as the output destination. This matches the behavior of writefraw() but is different than the previous behavior so only enable the new default in the interactive shells (for now). * Preliminary support for pdls larger than 2GiB (but still with less than 2**31 *elements*) is in the PDL core. It is believed that this modification should be transparent. Please test. * New whereND() routine added to PDL::Primitive. Like where but it properly threads the mask over higher data dimensions. This was sf.net feature #3390043. * pdldoc now searches for *.pdl files in your @PDLLIB path for docs on PDL::AutoLoader routines. To disable the new behavior, just set the new perldl.conf option PDLDOC_IGNORE_AUTOLOADER to true. This was sf.net feature #3390042. * Documentation fixes * SF.net bugs fixed: - 3388862 tiny bug in PDL-2.4.3. May apply to 2.4.9 - 3375837 _read_flexhdr state machine fails - 3368883 t/opengl.t fails if display type not available _______________________________________________ Perldl mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.jach.hawaii.edu/mailman/listinfo/perldl ----- End forwarded message ----- -- B.
