HI Ed,
here's some feedback to the new release. Thank you for your tireless
efforts!
I experience errors in previously working code, at least in 2.074 and 2.075.
$r and $i are piddles, as are $empty_lines and $vlines. These lines (67
#!perl
use PDL;
use PDL::NiceSlice;
use 5.10.0;
use strict;
sub foo {
my $r=shift; #piddle
my $i=shift; #piddle
my $empty_lines=(whichND ($r(0,,0,0,0,0,0,0;-)==0));
unless ($empty_lines->isempty) {
$empty_lines=$empty_lines(0,;-) if $empty_lines->nelem;
my $vlines=$$p{y}-1-$empty_lines;
$r(,$empty_lines,).=$r(,$vlines,); # syntax error
$i(,$empty_lines,).=-$i(,$vlines,); # syntax error
}
}
syntax error at /home/ingo/perl/test_errors.pl line 17, near "$r("
syntax error at /home/ingo/perl/test_errors.pl line 18, near "$i("
Could that be a PDL::NiceSlice issue?
Also, max (and probably min) are piddles now, (tested in 2.074), which
breaks some code. They used to returen perl scalars.

Dear PDL folks,
PDL 2.075 has just been released. Notable changes since 2.064:
* threading now called broadcasting (compat aliases created)
* fix when readdata functions return error (#356)
* RedoDimsCode can now use $SIZE(other_index) (#386)
* can now unify Code and BadCode into Code, and use PDL_IF_BAD() or
#ifdef PDL_BAD_CODE
* add macros PDL_IF_GENTYPE_{REAL,INTEGER,UNSIGNED}(iftrue,iffalse)
in Code
* fixes to PDL::NiceSlice including performance bug by
monkey-patching Text::Balanced::extract_multiple
* Minuit and Slatec 64-bit safe
* bifuncs like Ops::plus no longer need explicit swap parameter
Future plans, in something like intended order:
* fix more open GitHub issues
* make PDL::LinearAlgebra work right with “native complex” (several
of the above issues were related to enabling this)
* “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
