Release Notes for PDL 2.4.11 -----------------------------
General Notes:
* This is a point release of PDL to support the coming perl
5.16.0 release.
+---------------------------------------------------------------+
| BE WARNED: This release includes an update to the internal, |
| C-level PDL API and 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!!! |
+---------------------------------------------------------------+
Highlights:
* A new implementation mapflex and mapfraw routines provides
memory-mapped IO for all platforms including win32 systems.
* The new memory mapped IO support is implemented using
File::Map so version 0.47 has been added as a required
dependency to force automated testing so an automated build
will need this dependency installed.
NOTE: For systems having POSIX mmap, a manual build of
PDL will automatically use the legacy implementation.
* Various cleanup to existing code to fix warnings generated
by perl versions 5.15.x and higher.
Remove deprecation warning in PGPLOT/Window/Window.pm
complex.pd - fix attempts to overload '<=>=' and '=>'
* Sf.net bugs fixed:
3518253 Make PDL::flat work under perl 5.16 (thanks sprout!)
3516600 pdl_from_string.t fails w/ BADVAL_USENAN=1
3487569 PDL::IO::Misc : rcols problem (thanks bperret!)
3476648 PDL build of HTML docs fails on recent bleed Perl
* Other bugs fixed:
Fix check for glutRunning logic for imag2d
Fixed a bug in cat's error reporting.
Added lvalue awareness to whereND
* New and improved tests have been added to the test suite.
Tests t/gd_oo_tests.t and t/inline-comment-test.t are
skipped for BSD platforms (see sf.net bugs #3518190 and
#3524081 to track their issues).
* New support for multi-line comments in PP code. See docs for
PDL::PP for details (e.g., pdldoc PP).
* Various enhancements to barf/croak output and messages to make
error reports and stack traces more useful and readable.
* There is a new changes (or Changes) target for the PDL Makefile
which is a convenience target that allows one to regenerate the
Changes file from git.
