Dear PDL folks,
PDL 2.075 has just been released. Notable changes since 2.064:
* threading now called broadcasting (compat aliases created)
* fix when readdata functions return error (#356)
* RedoDimsCode can now use $SIZE(other_index) (#386)
* can now unify Code and BadCode into Code, and use PDL_IF_BAD() or #ifdef
PDL_BAD_CODE
* add macros PDL_IF_GENTYPE_{REAL,INTEGER,UNSIGNED}(iftrue,iffalse) in Code
* fixes to PDL::NiceSlice including performance bug by monkey-patching
Text::Balanced::extract_multiple
* Minuit and Slatec 64-bit safe
* bifuncs like Ops::plus no longer need explicit swap parameter
Future plans, in something like intended order:
* fix more open GitHub issues
* make PDL::LinearAlgebra work right with “native complex” (several of the
above issues were related to enabling this)
* “loop fusion” techniques to maximise locality of computation, minimising
data’s trips through the “straw” between CPU and main RAM
* finish the independent C interface for making PDL usable from e.g. Python
* use OpenCL or other means to also utilise GPUs if available
The IRC channel (#pdl on irc.perl.org) is a great virtual place to come and ask
questions, or just watch the GitHub messages flow by.
As usual, please give the new PDL a try and report problems.
Best regards,
Ed
