Impressive list of new features and fixes!
Yes, I did not realize how much we all had accomplished
since last April---until it took me *hours* just to
consolidate the logs and intermediate release notes
for this draft.
PDL is testing better than ever according to CPAN
testers reports (245 PASS with 2 FAIL). However,
that does not include testing of many modules with
external dependencies as those are often not
installed on the CPAN smokers. The top "missing"
test coverage modules are:
PDL::IO::NDF
PDL::FFTW
(requires FFTW-2.x be installed)
PDL::IO::HDF
(requires the HDF4 library)
PDL::Graphics::PGPLOT
(requires the pgplot library)
PDL::Graphics::TriD
(requires OpenGL version 0.65)
"The FORTRAN stuff"
PDL::Slatec
PDL::Minuit
(requires a fortran compiler
and ExtUtils::F77 to detect)
PDL::Graphics::PLplot
(requires PLplot C library)
PDL::Transform::Proj4
PDL::GIS::Proj
(these require the PROJ4 library)
PDL::GSL::*
(these require the Gnu Scientific
library be installed)
Testing for any/all of the above with the current
release candidate is welcome. As is reviewing and
updating the associated POD documentation where it
is incomplete, incorrect, or unclear.

All-
I've just pushed this CPAN Developers release, a.k.a. PDL-2.4.10 rc3,
to CPAN and it should be appearing at a CPAN mirror near you
within the next couple of days. See below for the first draft of the
full release notes.
At this point we expect (and permit) no further significant code
changes and work between now and the release date should
focus on testing (especially for modules with external library
dependencies, including fortran and ExtUtils::F77), documentation,
and completion of the PDL Book which is planned to be released
at the same time as PDL-2.4.10.
Contributions in testing, documentation, web page updates, and
the PDL book are welcome!
Thanks,
Chris Marshall (PDL-2.4.10 release manager)
Release Notes for PDL 2.4.9_993 --------------------------
General Notes:
* A.k.a. PDL-2.4.10 release candidate 3
* Preliminary draft release notes follow.
* All focus now is on testing, documentation, web page
updates, and writing the PDL Book...
- 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_993.tar.gz
cpan> make CHM/PDL-2.4.9_993.tar.gz
cpan> test CHM/PDL-2.4.9_993.tar.gz
cpan> look CHM/PDL-2.4.9_993.tar.gz
