...and should be appearing at a CPAN mirror near you soon.
PDL-2.008 is the culmination of over 18 months effort by the PDL developers.
There are many changes both user visible and internal (over 50
outstanding bug
tickets closed on sf.net alone!).
Also, please welcome Ed J and Zakariya Mughal our two newest members
of the PDL development team. Together with Craig DeForest they are
responsible
for global cleanup and refactoring of the PDL distribution from the core
computation code through to the build process and the test suites. This
effort has continued to improve the robustness and usability of PDL.
I would like to thank all the contributors to PDL-2.008 whose git
commits have

Release Notes for PDL 2.008 -----------------------------
+---------------------------------------------------------------+
| BE WARNED: This release includes an update to the internal, |
| C-level PDL API for PDL versions 2.007 and earlier. This |
| will require that you re-build any PP or XS modules. Do not |
| upgrade or install over an existing PDL installation unless |
| you are prepared to do so!!! |
+---------------------------------------------------------------+
General Notes:
* This is PDL-2.008! Yay!
* perl 5.10.x is now the minimum version of perl
supported by PDL-2.008 and later.
* 50 sf.net bug tickets closed/fixed since PDL-2.007!
* Partial 64bit indexing support with some fixes to
remaining issues. Full 64bit support for perl modulus
operator ('%') is in progress.
* Major clean up and rework of the core PDL computation
code, the build process, test suites, and updating to
reflect more of the best practices for perl module
development.
* The PDL development has moved to github and now has
added continuous commit testing via the Travis-CI
framework. The git workflow is now inline with
current practices and it is expected that this will
allow more contributions and "eyes on the code".
Highlights:
* PDL::FFTW is no longer part of the PDL Core.
Please use PDL::FFTW3 from CPAN (Dima Kogan)
with Alien::FFTW3 support (Craig DeForest)
* New improved vsearch functionality, interfaces,
and documentation (Diab Jerius)
* PDL::IO::Storable now robust against version, platform
endianness, and supports the new 64bit PDL_Indx data
type (Dima Kogan)
* Clean up of PDL/Basic/Core code to remove cruft and
to simplify the evolution to a coming improvements
(Craig DeForest)
* Major clean up, de-crufting, and streamlining of the
entire PDL ExtUtils::MakeMaker build process (Ed J)
* Standardizing and updating the entire PDL test suite
to a common basis (use Test::More) and coding to more
consistent best practices. E.g., use strict
This is a huge (ongoing) effort but a comprehensive
test suite is needed for regression tests to validate
compatibility of coming PDL3 architecture changes.
(Zakariyya Mughal)
* You can now call the PDL::Graphics2D twiddle()
routine with an argument of 0 or 1 (i.e., false
or true) to set whether the twiddle loop is run.
* Library dependency detection improvements including
PROJ4 and GD. A number of improvements in this for
strawberry perl on windows (kmx)
* The PDL distribution process now generated the
documentation for the modules using the automated
code generation process. This makes all the PDL
docs available on http://search.cpan.org and on
http://metacpan.org for your web browser. (kmx)
* Improved support to build XS/C extensions: (Ed J)
- You can now: "use Inline with => 'PDL';", see PDL::API
- You can, in your module's Makefile.PL:
"$p = new ExtUtils::Depends 'MyMod', 'PDL'"
