Release Notes for PDL 2.4.9_010 --------------------------
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_010.tar.gz
cpan> make CHM/PDL-2.4.9_010.tar.gz
cpan> test CHM/PDL-2.4.9_010.tar.gz
cpan> look CHM/PDL-2.4.9_010.tar.gz
Highlights:
* Experimental PDL::NiceSlice support for perl debugger.
Just put the PDLdb.pl file in your perl @INC path and
do an
export PERL5DB='BEGIN { require "PDLdb.pl" }'
setenv PERL5DB 'BEGIN { require "PDLdb.pl" }'
You should be able to use niceslice syntax to view
or modify pdl values. Feedback welcome!
* New pdl from string functionality in pdl constructors
new and pdl now supports BAD, NAN, and INF values as
entries in the piddle being constructed. E.g., this
now works:
pdl> p $a = pdl q[ inf bad 0 0 ];
[inf BAD 0 0]
* Fixed security vulnerability in and added functionality
to PDL::Core::new_pdl_from_string.
- replaced an eval with a Perl-level parse of the string
- added support for the strings 'inf', 'nan', and 'bad',
as well as the Windows printouts of those values
In the past, using new_pdl_from_string with a stringified
piddle worked as long as the piddle didn't have infinity,
not-a-number, or BAD values. Now, that works. This is also
useful for generating data to test edge cases.
* Fixed sf.net bugs:
- 3434842 Error in definition of gsl_sf_laguerre_n function
- 3391507 pdl2 docs not found by pdldoc
- 3391645 bad printf formats in pdlapi.c and others
* Resolved sf.net feature requests with clarified documentation
and more diagnostic error messages:
- 3396738 PDL::Core::convert default return type
- 3396761 fix rvals arithmetic wrap-around for byte types
