...and should be available at a CPAN mirror
near you shortly.  Thanks to some excellent
tag team debugging by Dima and Chris, the
PDL::IO::Storable has been fixed to work with
our new 64bit index support, although there
appears to be an upstream issue with
Storable for 64bit data on perl platforms where
the 64bit integer type is *not* 'long'.

Thanks to some digging by Henning Glawe, we've
isolated some pdl element to perl scalar conversions
that were forcing a conversion to double.  Look for
another CPAN developers release as that code is
updated.

Once the remaining Storable issue is fixed and
the hidden double conversion removed, we expect
to release a new official PDL release.

In the meantime, enjoy the progress!

Release Notes for PDL 2.007_01 --------------------------

 +---------------------------------------------------------------+
 | 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:

 * 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-2.007_01.tar.gz
       cpan> make CHM/PDL-2.007_01.tar.gz
       cpan> test CHM/PDL-2.007_01.tar.gz
       cpan> look CHM/PDL-2.007_01.tar.gz

Highlights:

 * Added FAQ entry on PDL version numbering change and how
   to specify required PDL versions.

 * Corrected perldl.conf docs for WITH_PLPLOT in the comments

 * Update PDL::IO::Storable to work with the new PDL_Indx
   data type.  Also made the code backwards compatible to
   read files written by older PDL releases.

 * Fixed NaN handling for min/max and cleaned up handling
   of empty sets.

 * Various enhancements to PDL::Transform
