See the PDL/TODO file for the list. Here is the bullets and a short status: R Improve PDL usability for first time users R Need to test PDL build/install from scratch Did you get PLplot and TriD working on your VMs The directions need to be in the install info. R Clean up and triage for tickets prior to release. Only one critical bug left for this which is hoped to be fixed this week. All the rest are lower priority or nice-to-haves. R Update PDL web site pages Good to go? R Review current documentation (underway) Good to go? R Add/update platform install notes to PDL wiki R Add CPAN shell start-up info to PDL wiki or web page Good to go? R Need PLplot and PDL::Graphics::PLplot to build all platforms Did your tests find any problems with this? R Complete Perldl2 shell: R * Fix demo to work with Perldl2 N * Fix Ctrl-C handling for win32 systems N * Add safe pdl allocation option to prevent OOM death The main issue here is fixing the demo so users can try PDL out with pdl2 as with perldl. The Ctrl-C handling and 100% perldl back compatability are nice-to-haves that aren't worth delaying the release for. R Add support for improved 2D image display using TriD R * Move imag2d() into a module form N * Enable REPL and GUI simultaneous operations and event loops CHM needs to finish moving imag2d into a module. Functionality should be the same as before. R New pdl() constructor with matlab [] syntax for string arguments David is working out the final two issues with the implementation. Hope to hear about success soon. N How to install the CPAN Testers reporting packages N Document how to set up a local sandbox for PDL build N Add docs/support for users of other non-PDL software N Update PDL Book (in progress) All these doc issues would be nice to have finished before the PDL-2.4.7 release but they can be continued asynchronously with the release. N Finish spheres3d implementation N PDL::Constants N Finish PDL::IO::ENVI module None of these are required for the PDL-2.4.7 release and may be deferred. Hope this helps. --Chris > Daniel. > > > On Sun, Aug 8, 2010 at 5:04 PM, Chris Marshall<[email protected]> wrote: >> This is another CPAN developers release. >> The only change is a minor fix to PDL::IO::Dumper >> to resolve a difficult to reproduce problem >> reported by some CPAN Testers.
