Other items I would like to see: * Fixes for pdl constructor-related segfaults
* pthread computation support for win32 and cygwin * PDL modules list documentation to include works in progress or relatively young modules such as the gnuplot support, CUDA, and others. * PDL book updated and on-line for 2.4.10(?) Feedback and volunteers for items below (including bugs or features) or other additions of your own are welcome. The reality of 2.4.10 will depend on those contributions---if we can fix the *segfault* bugs and wrap up the pthread and plplot integration work that would be worth of a new, stable release. NOTE: If you see something that you would like to help with but are not sure how to start or what to do, please ask on the perldl list. Many times progress has been made in understanding the issue and how to fix/proceed but there is not time to complete the tasks. Cheers, Chris On 9/11/2011 10:27 PM, chm wrote:
All- I wanted to follow up on the suggestions for PDL-2.4.10 development with 3 lists and the rough priorities as I see them. The approximate rank of each item is indicated by the character at the beginning of the line: * A priority for 2.4.10 development or underway and could be completed by the release - Lower importance items or ones without clear support by some developer . Nice to haves, most need volunteers to take on, many are well understood by someone, just no time to get to it... Items without a mark are not in the current plans for 2.4.10, either because no interest has been shown in the problem or because we have no understanding of how to proceed. An on-going goal for PDL development is the integration of win32 platform support equal to unix/linux/*bsd/macosx with the hope being to achieve one-click builds and installs of PDL for all platforms. Cheers, Chris =========================== ==> what-would-you-like <== =========================== * Update PDL-Graphics-PLplot for PDL core version. * Fixes for segfault bugs. * Complete NiceSlice2 reimplementation using Filter::Simple. * Verify/document/test badval support for PDL::IO::FlexRaw * Clear up documentation for PDL::IO::FlexRaw w.r.t. badvalues, headers, handles... * Add wcols support for 2D arrays to match rcols [] stuff. * Add rcsv/wcsv variants to PDL::IO::Misc (compare rasc with rcols) . 3293345 add mapflex/mapfraw support for win32 - I would like to see the annoying problem with debugging lvalue PDL routines fixed. - Finish porting perldl compatibility to pdl2. =============== ==> sf-bugs <== =============== * 3363406 PDL::Minuit build can't make libminuit.a * 3307613 indexND of Empty pdls can segfault * 3294808 sever on Empty piddle causes segfault * 3080505 PLplot segfaults on plshades call on OS X * 3391507 pdl2 docs not found by pdldoc - 3316394 'help funname' fails to show multiple function names - 3314708 PDL install does not install scantree.pl * 3018731 NiceSlice affects code where it should not * 3234141 max() fails on nan - 3299611 FITS I/O obscure bug - 3059083 Problems with FITS header handling - 3299615 PLplot still unusable with X - 2995500 perl -d chokes on lvalue functions . 3161459 online docs don't link to functions in other PDL modules . 3391645 bad printf formats in pdlapi.c and others . 2153898 default PDL build output too long . 1507054 closing TriD window kills perldl shell . 1205359 PGPLOT Window does not store full state info =================== ==> sf-features <== =================== . 3396761 fix rvals arithmetic wrap-around for byte types - 3396738 PDL::Core::convert default return type * 3314712 make PDL "readme" type files available in POD - 3229286 add user keyword and tags to help/apropos commands - 3182279 port PDL::Doc, etc. to use Core Pod modules - 3283650 add IO by records to PDL::IO::FlexRaw - 3301031 add multi-image support to PDL::IO::Pnm . 3293345 add mapflex/mapfraw support for win32 . 3304891 Add a file IO "wizard" for PDL * 3074830 build-time (static) NiceSlice support for PDL installs 3297233 add output log filter to build process 3274809 reduce memory requirements for PDL compiles 3187559 more helpful errors in demo pgplot and others 3174261 better threading error diagnostics 3039433 support for piddles >2**31 elements 3030098 make pdl() constructor non-fatal when memory runs out 3008776 spheres3d routine for PDL::Graphics::TriD 2956962 PDL::PP Warnings * 2955733 better 2D photo/image viewing * 2989482 CPAN web site bug * 2947663 CPAN-friendly .pd files 2784029 extend support for GSL in PDL 1674387 Better documentation of GSL::SF functions 2774886 Add more generic linear solver (like lapack dgels) for simq 1574517 Cholesky Decomposition - 3064845 add plplot demos to match pgplot ones . 2872095 PGPLOT compatibility module with PLplot 795536 PGPlot BG color control . 3164794 enhance PGPLOT/pgplot buildability 3393317 Add HDF5 support to PDL 3377076 PDL Qhull . 3040567 add support for FFTW3 to PDL . 2784040 improved type support for Complex . 3308168 Update perldl/pdl signal handling for "safe signals" . 3076089 improved pager support in PDL shells 1435189 Installation with cpan2rpm 1994584 PDL Has no signed 8-bit integer datatype 879309 Output class off PP 863992 Add float in PDL::Ops _______________________________________________ Perldl mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.jach.hawaii.edu/mailman/listinfo/perldl ----- No virus found in this message.
