Release Notes for PDL 2.4.9_002 --------------------------
General Notes:
* Another quick CPAN 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-2.4.9_002.tar.gz
cpan> make CHM/PDL-2.4.9_002.tar.gz
cpan> test CHM/PDL-2.4.9_002.tar.gz
cpan> look CHM/PDL-2.4.9_002.tar.gz
Highlights:
* New multi-processor support for PDL computations using
pthreads. This can improve performance up to 2X-4X for
some problems. See pdldoc ParallelCPU for information.
* Fix PDL::NiceSlice bugs sf.net #3295544 and #3300467
* Fix wcols() regression where file handle arguments
were not being handled correctly.
* Various documentation and distributions fixes.
