All-
This marks the end of new code changes for the
upcoming PDL-2.4.10 release.
Going forward, the focus will be on finishing
up the PDL Book project, updating the release
documentation, updating PDL build instructions
on the web site, and generally checking that
the new release functions correctly.
Please report any/all problems so that they
can be addressed or added to the Known_problems
file.
Enjoy (and test)!

Release Notes for PDL 2.4.9_015 --------------------------
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_015.tar.gz
cpan> make CHM/PDL-2.4.9_015.tar.gz
cpan> test CHM/PDL-2.4.9_015.tar.gz
cpan> look CHM/PDL-2.4.9_015.tar.gz
Highlights:
* Cleaner error reporting from the pdl2 shell. Stops
printing the callback trace once the PDL relevant
parts are done.
* Candidate fix for sf.net bug #
3460886 t/flexraw_fortran.t test failures
* Added PDL_BUILD_VERSION to the perldl.conf keys.
This value is generated by the Makefile.PL config
process and provides a consistency check by ensuring
the Config.pm is from the correct version of PDL.
* Replace tempfile and tempdir based on hand-rolled
from TMPDIR in perldl.conf by calls to File::Temp
tempfile and/or tempdir. Fixes to tests and trylink
command.
* Update minimum version of ExtUtils::MakeMaker to
6.31 which is the first version supporting the
INSTALL_BASE option for local module repo locations.
This is the same location as the Module::Build
--install-base option and is much easier to
understand where things go than the PREFIX + LIB.
NOTE: If you've been using PREFIX + LIB for your
standalone repository configuration, you'll need
to reinstall with the new option. Mix and matching
the two is liable to cause problems.
