Without detailed information on who would be affected by a change in the required/supported version of perl, I would prefer to minimize disruption for PDL users. For example, I do know that the older cygwin releases used perl 5.10.x and a jump to 5.12 could make them not able to use PDL.
That said, if there is a specific need that could be addressed by jumping to 5.12.x, that could justify the change. Anything in mind---I haven't seen anything myself. All is not bad, if we go to 5.10 support, we can finally use 'say' ... :-) --Chris On Wed, Nov 20, 2013 at 9:19 AM, Craig DeForest <[email protected]> wrote: > Why not bump to 5.12? > > (mobile) > > > On Nov 20, 2013, at 4:42 AM, Chris Marshall <[email protected]> wrote: > >> I propose moving to perl 5.10.x as the officially >> supported perl version for general PDL development, >> effective immediately. >> >> I don't expect this to affect the legacy PDL users >> as they often are using PDL versions back as far >> as 2.4.3. >> >> Comment, discussion, votes? >> Chris >> >> _______________________________________________ >> PDL-porters mailing list >> [email protected] >> http://mailman.jach.hawaii.edu/mailman/listinfo/pdl-porters >> _______________________________________________ Perldl mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.jach.hawaii.edu/mailman/listinfo/perldl
