To PDL Users/Developers-
This is a bug fix roll-up release of the latest
PDL git. Specific contributions for this release
were by David Mertens and Rob/Sisyphus. It
should be appearing at a CPAN mirror site near
you soon.
For windows users, Rob/Sisyphus has graciously
offered to provide builds of the latest CPAN
developers releases to keep you up-to-date.
I'll have to let him follow-up with what needs
to be done to PPM-install that version.
This release highlights growing robustness of
the core PDL functionality (PDL-2.4.9_007 has
>99% PASS from CPAN testers, yeah team!) and
gives you a chance to try some new enhancements:
* Support for pdls larger than 2GIB
* whereND, a new, better where routine
* Usability and documentation enhancements:
- $writeflexhdr = 1 now in default.perldlrc
- pdldoc reports PDL::AutoLoader functions
* Multiple bugs fixed since PDL-2.4.9
Enjoy!
The PDL Developers
Release Notes for PDL 2.4.9_008 --------------------------
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_008.tar.gz
cpan> make CHM/PDL-2.4.9_008.tar.gz
cpan> test CHM/PDL-2.4.9_008.tar.gz
cpan> look CHM/PDL-2.4.9_008.tar.gz
Highlights:
* Enabled more pnmtoxxx converters for t/pnm.t and t/picrgb.t.
The idea is to revisit any issues with the NetPBM installs
as the previous problems might be better handled by better
configuration and tests.
* Multiple sf.net bugs fixed:
- 3394327 PDL::IO::FITS::wfits corrupting FITS image
- 3392972 t/pthreadBarf.t test fails
- 3377113 failure to find PDL typemap
- 3303673 PLplot trouble with new PThreads
