Dear PDL folks,

PDL 2.063_04 has just been released. Notable changes since 2.063_01:

  *   pthreads should now be available on BSD systems
  *   Support for signed and unsigned versions of all integers up to 64-bit, 
and real and complex long double
  *   qsortvec* now work with badvalues as documented
  *   wfits now handles RICE compression
  *   NiceSlice now works correctly with comments and strings
  *   rmpeg added, rpic and wpic work with multi-image PNM files
  *   xvals returns at least a double, avoiding problems with e.g. byte ndarrays

Future plans, in something like intended order:

  *   “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
