A.k.a., PDL-2.006 rc2.

It is taking longer than anticipated to address some of the
remaining documentation issues so the official release is
likely to be towards the end of March rather than this Fri.

The good news, the release candidates are testing *very*
well and passing at almost 100%.  What that means is
if you install the latest CPAN developers release, you'll
get all the new, code, fixes and features.  Improved docs
and graphics/demo support will follow with the final
release.

Enjoy,
Chris


Release Notes for PDL 2.004_996 --------------------------

General Notes:

 * A.k.a. PDL-2.006 release candidate 2 (code freeze)

 * 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-2.004_996.tar.gz
       cpan> make CHM/PDL-2.004_996.tar.gz
       cpan> test CHM/PDL-2.004_996.tar.gz
       cpan> look CHM/PDL-2.004_996.tar.gz

Highlights:

 * Fixed bug in cat() threading with tests to verify fix.

 * Update pod for Datatype_conversions so 'apropos types'
   will find it in the PDL shells or with pdldoc -a.

 * Fix pdl-from-string doc error in QuickStart

 * New feature in perldl and pdl2 where a pattern
   matching the PDL shell prompt (in $PERLDL::PREFIX_RE)
   will get stripped off of input lines before eval.

   That makes it easier to cut-and-paste example text
   from PDL shell sessions or the  PDL Book into an
   active session.

 * Added a demo for gnuplot to the PDL shells.
