It should be appearing at a CPAN mirror near you within
the next couple of days.

Release Notes for PDL 2.4.7_013 --------------------------
General Notes:
* Last developers release before the 2.4.8 pre-release
* 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. Please
see Changes (from the git log) for full details.
- 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_013.tar.gz
cpan> make chm/pdl-2.4.7_013.tar.gz
cpan> test chm/pdl-2.4.7_013.tar.gz
cpan> look chm/pdl-2.4.7_013.tar.gz
Highlights:
* readflex/writeflex/mapflex now support reading and writing
piddles with bad value support enabled. This was sf.net
feature request #3028127, "add badvalue support to FlexRaw".
On writeflex, a piddle with badflag==1 will have a keyword
badvalue added to the header file and an additional value
if badvalue is != orig_badvalue for that type.
On readflex, a piddle with the badvalue header will
automatically have its badflag set and its badvalue as well
if it is not the default.
* New PDL::Constants module providing PI and E
* New refresh.pdl in Example/PLplot. This provides
some of the same functionality as in the PDL
PGPLOT graphics.
* Inplace support added for PDL::Complex operations
* OPENGL_LIBS, OPENGL_INC and OPENGL_DEFINE
no longer used in perldl.conf as the Perl
OpenGL binding is now required for TriD graphics.
* Additional code clean up now that PDL::Karma
graphics are no longer provided.
* Various bug and documentation fixes.
