All- CHM/PDL-2.4.6_991.tar.gz (a.k.a. PDL-2.4.7 pre-release 1) has been uploaded to CPAN and should appear at a CPAN mirror near you shortly. You can download it directly from
http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/C/CH/CHM/PDL-2.4.6_991.tar.gz or via the cpan shell. Be sure to use the distribution path as this is technically another development release bash$ cpan cpan> get CHM/PDL-2.4.6_991.tar.gz cpan> look CHM/PDL-2.4.6_991.tar.gz The pre-release version of the new PDL web site is at http://pdl.perl.org/2.4.7RC/ If you are a PDL user or developer, please test this release on your platform(s) of choice. Of particular interest are two things: (1) Does PDL build on your platform and what dependencies work or can be made to work? (2) Are the installation instructions for PDL and its dependencies correct for your platform? Especially, if you follow the web site directions from the link above, can you build PDL and the base set of dependencies: the key external dependencies we would like available everywhere are 2-D graphics (PLplot, PGPLOT) and 3-D graphics using the Perl OpenGL module. Any problems, corrections, updates,... please reply to the pdl-porters or perldl mailing list so that they may be addressed. Next Wednesday, 18-Aug-2010, we will release the 2nd pre-release for PDL-2.4.7 for final verification including any updates from the pre1 feedback and installation notes. The official PDL-2.4.7 release will follow soon after on 19-Aug or 20-Aug. At that time, platform specific releases will be made based on that version. Please reply with you test results and what you tried. Information on the new features is good. For example, can you run the newly revived wmpeg() routine to create MPEG video from a piddle image sequence? I would also appreciate any feedback on whether you tried or were able to try the new pdl2 functionality. NOTE: pdl2 should work regardless of whether you have installed the Devel::REPL pre-requisite. It will just have the original perldl feature set if the Devel::REPL is not installed. Thanks in advance for your testing and feedback!
