Announcing the release of the PDL-2.4.7_001
*developers* release to CPAN. This release
marks the first in a series of releases moving
towards PDL-2.4.8.
IMPORTANT NOTE: As a developers release, all
tests may or will not pass as new tests have
been added to replicate reported bugs. Until
those bugs are resolved, the tests *should* fail.
Enjoy,
Chris
Release notes for PDL 2.4.7_001 --------------------------
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.
- These Release Notes may not be fully complete.
- All tests may not pass, especially ones corresponding
to issues in Known_problems.
- Manual build/install is recommended although the
cpan shell may be used by specifying the distribution
path rather than just the module name, e.g.:
cpan> get CHM/PDL-2.4.7_001.tar.gz
cpan> make CHM/PDL-2.4.7_001.tar.gz
cpan> test CHM/PDL-2.4.7_001.tar.gz
cpan> look CHM/PDL-2.4.7_001.tar.gz
Highlights:
* Updated TODO, Perldl2/TODO, Known_problems and other
README type files.
* Fixed pdldoc to use PERLDOC_PAGER if set.
* Various minor fixed to POD documentation
* Fixes to t/fastraw.t to clean up working files on exit
and to removed intermediate files at each stage.
Some tests were failing because of pre-existing files
left from other runs.
* Partial fix to #3079844 where very long tmpdir pathnames
created invalid fortran test code. The final fix will
be to skip this test for such pathalogical pathname
lengths and add another test with modern fortran file
syntax rather than f77-era 80 character lines.
* Updated FITS.pm to handle BSCALE/BZERO correctly for
tile-compressed images
* Add win32 workaround for pdl2->perldl exec bug #3056142.
Now win32 just exits pdl2 with a warning to run perldl
rather than trying the broken exec.
* Fixed uniqind bug #3076570
* Fixed Demos/Cartography_demo.pm and Demos/Transform_demo.pm
to use the /GW driver on MSWin32 systems only.
* Various fixes for the PDL-2.4.7 debian package.
