Announcing the release of the PDL developers release to CPAN.  To upgrade an 
existing PDL installation with the cpan shell, the following should work:

  cpan CHM/PDL-2.4.6_010.tar.gz

This release builds and installs the new Perldl2 shell by default (You'll need 
to install the latest Devel::REPL module to use it.  See Perldl2/README in the 
distribution directory for additional information).  If you try the Perldl2 
shell (i.e., the pdl2 command), any feedback or problems or suggestions is 
welcome.

Also in this release, progress in fixing the win32 build issues for using the 
PLplot library, a number bugs fixed, and some documentation improvements.  
Please see the Changes file or the Release_Notes for details.

Enjoy!
Chris Marshall for PDL Developers

Release notes for PDL 2.4.6_010 --------------------------

General Notes:

 * This is a developers release! It is a snapshot of the
   current git development tree and everything may not work
   correctly or have complete documentation (as in these
   Release notes).

Highlights:

 * Experimental perldl version 2 shell available.  See the
   README file in PDL/Perldl2 for details.

   By default, the Perldl2 shell (i.e., pdl2) will be built
   and installed if you have already installed Devel::REPL
   version 1.003011 or higher.

   TAB completion for filenames and history expansion
   using '!' syntax works with either Term::ReadLine::Gnu
   or Term::ReadLine::Perl.  If you use the ! operator in
   your perl code, be sure to follow it by a space so that
   it is not interpreted for history substitution.

   pdl2 now loads your ~/.pdlrc (or ~/.perldlrc) startup
   file and also local.pdlrc (or local.perldlrc) file if
   there is one in the current directory.  Please report
   any problems or missing functionality to the PDL
   mailing list.

   help|usage|apropos|sig|badinfo|demo now autoquote their args.

   ? and ?? aliases for help and apropos work

   Shell command escapes for lines beginning with $PERLDL::ESCAPE
   (defaults to "#") work as well.

 * uniq/uniqind/uniqvec now handle BAD values or NaN
   values consistent with Matlab and between themselves.
   This fixes sf.net bug #3011659.

 * Many win32/win64 portability fixes for PLplot as well
   as various other documentation and other fixes.
