PDL Developers, Testers, and Contributors- A brief status update regarding the planned PDL-2.4.10 release in the New Year (I'm aiming for New Year's day but that will depend on the final testing and documentation).
Now that December is here, I expect there will be more frequent developers release for testing and feedback on final changes. You are encouraged to download and test/evaluate these releases as they come out. If you are contributing to the planned on-line PDL Book to be released accompanying the PDL-2.4.10 one, please plan your writing and other contributions with an eye for a January 1 target publication date. @Matt, it might be useful if you could keep the list and contributors informed on status and other details so we know where things stand. Maybe something like a list of chapters/sections on the PDL wiki that authors and/or you could update with % completed or other status. If you have major code modifications or additions to PDL (PDL::Graphics::Gnuplot is the main one that comes to mind), please schedule the development so that there is time for pre-release testing. At the least, I think a cutoff date for new stuff of 16-Dec-2011 seems reasonable and would allow some weeks for testing and final tweaks before release. @Craig/Dima, please let us know if the planned migration to the PDL core distribution is going to happen for this release. It would be very nice to have it in but since we are planning to announce any external PDL modules information along with our PDL-2.4.10 release, I don't see any problem folding things in for a follow-on PDL release. The PDL-2.4.9_xxx developer release sequence continues to test at the highest rate ever for PDL. The current _010 release is a bit off because a few of the CPAN Testers forced 'use strict' in the tests which broke for a couple of our tests. That has been fixed in git and will be available for the CPAN developers release this weekend.
