...and should appear at a CPAN mirror near you within
the next few days. Because it is a developers release,
you will need to use the distribution file name to
get, make, test, install with the cpan shell/command:
cpan> get CHM/PDL-2.4.6_008.tar.gz
cpan> make CHM/PDL-2.4.6_008.tar.gz
cpan> test CHM/PDL-2.4.6_008.tar.gz
cpan> look CHM/PDL-2.4.6_008.tar.gz
Trying to open a subshell in the build directory...
Working directory is /chm/.cpan/build/PDL-2.4.6_007-imIYqe
Prepending /chm/.cpan/build/PDL-2.4.6_006-dNYoGj/blib/arch
/chm/.cpan/build/PDL-2.4.6_006-dNYoGj/blib/lib to PERL5LIB for 'look'
bash$ perl -Mblib perldl # to try perldl, demos, ...
bash$ exit # quit shell back to cpan
If it built ok, tests passed, and you wish to install:
cpan> install CHM/PDL-2.4.6_008.tar.gz
This is another CPAN Developers release of the current
PDL git with the latest features. The main motivation
for this release was to improved support for debugging
PDL code with the perl debugger.
For general code development, using the perldl shell
or the experimental pdl2 shell is much more convenient
due to their interactive features.
Enjoy,
Chris for the PDL Developers
Release notes for PDL 2.4.6_008 --------------------------
General Notes:
* This is a developers release! It is a snapshot of the current git
development tree and everything may not work correctly. However,
it is the easiest way to get the latest and greatest from PDL
developers without going to the git repository at sourceforge.net.
Highlights:
* Experimental perldl version 2 shell available.
See the README file in PDL/Perldl2 for details. Full
completion support is now available for all platforms
via Term::ReadLine::Perl as well as Term::ReadLine::Gnu.
The Perldl2 shell (pdl2) now loads and saves command line
history from the same file as perldl, ~/.perldl_hist.
Please Note: while all commands are saved and loaded between
the perldl and pdl2, the Perldl2 shell is missing some features
of perldl so not all commands retrieved from perldl history
will execute correctly in a subsequent pdl2 session.
* Added Convert::UU as a required dependency for PDL to improve
portability (it provides backup uuencode and uudecode for
platforms without them).
* Add work around for perl -d problem with lvalue subroutines
so that tests: imagend.t, lvalue.t, matrixops.t, misc.t, and
transform.t now run under the debuger (even for broken perls
versions 5.10.1 through 5.12)
* Add fixes for printf and carp format string attacks
* Preliminary version of spheres3d for plotting 3D spheres
with TriD. Support for varying radii and colors not yet
complete.
