Development towards our PDL-2.4.10 release continues but... Gosh! Look at the time! We're almost to October and there are a number of items still to finish.
Here is the newly consolidated list of items proposed/planned for PDL-2.4.10. I've grouped them by categories according to the key below where the key goals for PDL-2.4.10 are marked by the *. Other development can and will occur but if the * items are complete, that would be a good step for a release. Cheers, Chris Key: * A priority for 2.4.10 release - To include if possible . Nice to have (as resources permit) ' ' Not in plan o Other items of interest (FYI) Specific PDL project items as proposed by various PDL users and developers. A number of previous suggestions have already been implemented and are no longer on this list: * Complete NiceSlice2 reimplementation using Filter::Simple. * Fixes for segfault bugs. * Update PDL-Graphics-PLplot for PDL core version. * pthread computation support for win32 and cygwin - Verify/document/test badval support for PDL::IO::FlexRaw - Finish porting perldl compatibility to pdl2. - I would like to see the annoying problem with debugging lvalue PDL routines fixed. - Add "other PDL modules" documentation: gnuplot support, CUDA, Stats, Util,... . Add rcsv/wcsv variants to PDL::IO::Misc (compare rasc with rcols) . Add wcols support for 2D arrays to match rcols [] stuff. . Clear up documentation for PDL::IO::FlexRaw w.r.t. badvalues, headers, handles... . PDL book updated and on-line for 2.4.10(?) o Finishing and releasing DM's new plotting module based on the Prima toolkit o Giving an introduction to PDL at the next Chicago PerlMongers meeting (late October) o Callback slice operation implementation o Sprite-based points for PDL::Graphics::TriD Sourceforge.net Bugs and Features: * 3391507 pdl2 docs not found by pdldoc * 3363406 PDL::Minuit build can't make libminuit.a * 3234141 max() fails on nan * 3080505 PLplot segfaults on plshades call on OS X * 3018731 NiceSlice affects code where it should not - 3316394 'help funname' fails to show multiple function names - 3314708 PDL install does not install scantree.pl - 3299615 PLplot still unusable with X - 3299611 FITS I/O obscure bug - 3059083 Problems with FITS header handling - 2995500 perl -d chokes on lvalue functions - 3314712 make PDL "readme" type files available in POD - 3074830 build-time (static) NiceSlice support for PDL installs - 2955733 better 2D photo/image viewing . 3391645 bad printf formats in pdlapi.c and others . 3161459 online docs don't link to functions in other PDL modules . 3396761 fix rvals arithmetic wrap-around for byte types . 3396738 PDL::Core::convert default return type . 3301031 add multi-image support to PDL::IO::Pnm . 3293345 add mapflex/mapfraw support for win32 . 3283650 add IO by records to PDL::IO::FlexRaw . 3229286 add user keyword and tags to help/apropos commands . 3182279 port PDL::Doc, etc. to use Core Pod modules . 3164794 enhance PGPLOT/pgplot buildability . 3064845 add plplot demos to match pgplot ones . 2989482 CPAN web site bug . 2947663 CPAN-friendly .pd files These Sourceforge.net Bugs/Features are not in the current plan for 2.4.10 but that does not mean progress or fixes will not be welcomed: 3393317 Add HDF5 support to PDL 3377076 PDL Qhull 3308168 Update perldl/pdl signal handling for "safe signals" 3304891 Add a file IO "wizard" for PDL 3297233 add output log filter to build process 3274809 reduce memory requirements for PDL compiles 3187559 more helpful errors in demo pgplot and others 3174261 better threading error diagnostics 3076089 improved pager support in PDL shells 3040567 add support for FFTW3 to PDL 3039433 support for piddles >2**31 elements 3030098 make pdl() constructor non-fatal when memory runs out 3008776 spheres3d routine for PDL::Graphics::TriD 2956962 PDL::PP Warnings 2872095 PGPLOT compatibility module with PLplot 2784040 improved type support for Complex 2784029 extend support for GSL in PDL 2774886 Add more generic linear solver (like lapack dgels) for simq 2153898 default PDL build output too long 1994584 PDL Has no signed 8-bit integer datatype 1674387 Better documentation of GSL::SF functions 1574517 Cholesky Decomposition 1507054 closing TriD window kills perldl shell 1435189 Installation with cpan2rpm 1205359 PGPLOT Window does not store full state info 0879309 Output class off PP 0863992 Add float in PDL::Ops 0795536 PGPlot BG color control _______________________________________________ Perldl mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.jach.hawaii.edu/mailman/listinfo/perldl
