This is the final pre-release for PDL-2.007 and assuming
CPAN Testers checks out, we'll be in code freeze and
the next CPAN developers release will be the formal
release candidate for PDL-2.007, and that will consist
mainly of updates to the Known_problems and more formal
release notes.

NOTE: The minimum version of OpenGL has been bumped
to 0.6702 for PDL::Graphics::TriD to build.  If you haven't
updated, you may be surprised when TriD is not built.

Thanks,
Chris


Release Notes for PDL 2.006_92 --------------------------

 +---------------------------------------------------------------+
 | BE WARNED:  This release includes an update to the internal,  |
 | C-level PDL API for PDL versions 2.006 and earlier.  This     |
 | will require that you re-build any PP or XS modules.  Do not  |
 | upgrade or install over an existing PDL installation unless   |
 | you are prepared to do so!!!                                  |
 +---------------------------------------------------------------+

General Notes:

 * A.k.a PDL-2.007 pre-release 3

 * 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-2.006_92.tar.gz
       cpan> make CHM/PDL-2.006_92.tar.gz
       cpan> test CHM/PDL-2.006_92.tar.gz
       cpan> look CHM/PDL-2.006_92.tar.gz

Highlights:

 * PP.pm no longer generates false POD due to detection
   of the documentation generation templates by perldoc.

 * PDL::PP routines now documented in a pdldoc index-able
   format: "apropos pp_" should work now in the PDL shells.

 * BUGS has moved to PDL::Bugs with POD and is indexed in
   the pdldoc database.

 * PDL::NiceSlice no longer strips out newlines and now
   preserves line numbering in error messages.

 * PDL::CLONE_SKIP added for better ithread support.
