Release Notes for PDL 2.4.9_002 --------------------------
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-2.4.9_002.tar.gz
cpan> make CHM/PDL-2.4.9_002.tar.gz
cpan> test CHM/PDL-2.4.9_002.tar.gz
cpan> look CHM/PDL-2.4.9_002.tar.gz
Highlights:
* TBD
Release Notes for PDL 2.4.9_001 --------------------------
General Notes:
* Another quick CPAN developers release

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.

cpan> test CHM/PDL-2.4.9_001.tar.gz
cpan> look CHM/PDL-2.4.9_001.tar.gz
Highlights:
* Add support to PDL::IO::Misc for handles that are not files.
* Update PDL::PP docs and other doc fixes.
* Improved detection logic for a number of external
dependencies
* Fix double-bscale bug for rice-compressed images
* Adapt t/bad.t to use File::Temp::tempfile() instead
of a hand-rolled version. Eventually we would like
to standardize on File::Temp for our temp file work.
Release Notes for PDL 2.4.9 --------------------------
General Notes:
* Fixes a couple of surprise bugs that were discovered
immediately with the PDL-2.4.8 release.
* See Also: the Release Notes for PDL-2.4.8 below
Highlights:
* Fix sf.net bug #3267408 "t/slice.t crashes in tests 68-70 for BSD"
* Fix sf.net bug #3190227 "PDL build fails with parallel GNU make -j3 -j3"
* Fixed various tempfile name generation problems by switching
to File::Temp instead of hand rolled solutions. This is the
recommended approach going forward.
* Force Convert::UU usage for BSD to work around a t/dumper.t
failure on MirBSD.
Release Notes for PDL 2.4.8_004 --------------------------
General Notes:
* A.k.a. PDL-2.4.9 pre-release 2.
Highlights:
* See the PDL-2.4.9 release notes above.
Release Notes for PDL 2.4.8_003 --------------------------
General Notes:
* A.k.a. PDL-2.4.9 pre-release 1.
Highlights:
* See the PDL-2.4.9 release notes above.

cpan> test CHM/PDL-2.4.8_002.tar.gz
cpan> look CHM/PDL-2.4.8_002.tar.gz
Highlights:
* Fix temporary file generation problems with IO/Dumper.pm,
t/iotypes.t, and add temp file cleanup code to Makefile.PL
* Add additional dependencies in the Makefile generation
for Basic/Core/Makefile.PL to address the parallel make
failures.

Highlights:
* Fixed sf.net bug #3267408 "t/slice.t crashes in tests 68-70 for BSD"
Release Notes for PDL 2.4.8 --------------------------
General Notes:
* The deprecated Karma imaging library support code
has been removed from the PDL distribution.
* Perl OpenGL (POGL) is now the only build option for
3-D graphics support in PDL. The POGL build has
proven to be portable and reliable. This prepares
TriD graphics development for the next stage of
re-factoring for support and new features.
* Many improvements to the PDL configuration, build
and test process make this the most robust PDL yet.
* PDL::IO::FlexRaw now supports automatic header file
creation when writeflex() is given a filename argument
for writing. readflex/writeflex/mapflex now support
reading and writing piddles with bad values in them.
* New PDL::Constants module provides PI and E.
* PDL::Complex now supports in-place operations.
* Added $PDL::toolongtoprint to set the maximum piddle
size allowed to print as a string. This was added
to the default.perldlrc to make it easier to discover
by users.
* wmpeg() from PDL::IO::Pic uses the new ffmpeg back-end
and can create many additional file formats beyond MPEG
alone, including MP4 and animated GIF. See the
documentation for details.
* Lots of improvements to the documentation, overall
usability and many bugs fixed!
Highlights:
Build and Test Enhancements:
* Karma support code has been *removed* from the PDL
distribution The last stable PDL distribution with
Karma code was be PDL-2.4.7.
* You must use the Perl OpenGL module to build the
PDL 3-D graphics module, PDL::Graphics::TriD.
OPENGL_LIBS, OPENGL_INC and OPENGL_DEFINE are no
longer used by perldl.conf for the configuration
process.
* Added a check for mis-installed PROJ4 libraries. If
the library does not initialize (even if present) then
PDL will not build the PROJ4 modules. This is sf.net
feature #3045456.
* GD, HDF, PROJ4, OpenGL, and GSL tests will not be run
unless the corresponding module was configured to be
built. This addresses the possibly mysterious test
failures caused by previous PDL installations in the
perl path at build time.
* Use of the Test::More TODO {} blocks allows tests for
known bugs to be added to the test suite without
causing the suite to fail. This replaces the previous
SKIP_KNOWN_PROBLEMS option and should better enable
test first development and debugging.
* utils/perldlpp.pl is a new script for off-line source
filtering to pre-filter PDL source files with NiceSlice
constructs. This allows PDL to use NiceSlice constructs
in the core functionality while still allowing PDL to
work in environments where source filters are not supported.
* The 'perl Makefile.PL' response to detecting another PDL
in the build path has changed. If such a pre-existing PDL
installation is detected, the user is warned *but*
configuration and build will proceed nonetheless.
* Clean-up and fixes to demos and tests for reliability and
portability.
Documentation:
* Added INTERNATIONALIZATION file with i18n notes. PDL
does yet not have internationalization support beyond
that provided by perl itself.
* Cleared up the documentation on when to use lu_decomp
and versus lu_decomp2. Now that lu_decomp is threaded,
it is the preferred implementation.
* wmpeg() with the ffmpeg converter supports generation of
many different output video file formats including MPEG,
MP4, and animated GIF. Documentation on these uses were
added.
* New example code refresh.pdl in Example/PLplot to
provide for PLplot, some of the same functionality
as in PDL::Graphics::PGPLOT.
* Other documentation updates for clarity and correctness.
New Features or Functionality:
* New PDL::Constants module providing PI and E (so far)
* Inplace support added for PDL::Complex operations
* pdldoc and the pdl2/perldl help commands now print all
matches by default when multiple matches are found.
* A do_print command was added to the pdl2 shell which
toggles the input mode between printing and not
printing the return value of each command.
* readflex/writeflex/mapflex now support reading and writing
piddles with bad values in them. This was sf.net feature
request #3028127, "add badvalue support to FlexRaw".
* writeflex now supports automatically calling the
writeflexhdr() routine if you have set the variable
$PDL::FlexRaw::writeflexhdr to a true value and are
writing to a file given by filename as argument.
* Updated the error handling for GSL::INTERP to match other
GSL module usages.
* Applied sf.net patch #3209075 IO::HDF square sds
* New binary blob support in PDL::IO::GD::OO
Bugs Fixed:
* Applied Christian Soeller's patch for FFTW on 64-bit
systems. This resolves bug #3203480 "t/fftw.t fails
on 64-bit systems".
* Fixed sf.net bug #3172882 re broken threading in inv().
inv() and lu_backsub() now handle threading. Updated
documentation for lu_decomp, lu_deomp2, and lu_backsub.
* Fixed sf.net bug #3171702 "missing podselect command
breaks PDL build"
* Fixed sf.net bug #3185864 (bad adev in statsover)
* Fixed sf.net bug #3139697: fixed imag2d() to work better
with Mac OS X GLUT and not just FreeGLUT.
* Fixed uniqind bug #3076570
* Fixed SF bug #3057542: wmpeg doesn't error on missing
ffmpeg program. Now wmpeg returns 1 on success and
undef on error. If ffmpeg is not in PATH, it just fails
immediately....
* Fixed SF bug #3056142: pdl2 fallback to perldl broken
on win32
* Fixed SF bug #3042201: t/dumper.t fails mysteriously
* Fixed SF bug #3031068: PDL::IO::FlexRaw mapflex memory
mapping fails
* Fixed SF bug #3011879, "pdl() constructor crashes perl for
mixed ref/piddle args" and #3080505, and #3139088. This
fix also includes a larger and more complete set of tests.
* Fixed segfault in plplot.t with a work-around.
* Fixed bug in readenvi.pdl header list value processing
and added support for embedded file headers.
* Fixed bug in FlexRaw.pm support for headers with Type
passed as string.
* Fixed imag2d() in PDL::Graphics2D. It no longer calls
exit on ESC if run within the pdl2/perldl shell. Also
did some clean up of key controls and module mechanics.
* Fixed upstream bug in Devel::REPL for MultiLine
continuation. Now incomplete q[] and qq[] constructs
continue reading until properly closed. See the
Known_problems file for details.
Release Notes for PDL 2.4.7_991 --------------------------
General Notes:
* A.k.a. PDL-2.4.8pre1 release
Highlights:

Release Notes for PDL 2.4.7_013 --------------------------
General Notes:
* Last developers release before the 2.4.8 pre-release
* This is a 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

cpan> look CHM/PDL-2.4.7_013.tar.gz
Highlights:
* readflex/writeflex/mapflex now support reading and writing
piddles with bad value support enabled. This was sf.net
feature request #3028127, "add badvalue support to FlexRaw".
On writeflex, a piddle with badflag==1 will have a keyword
badvalue added to the header file and an additional value
if badvalue is != orig_badvalue for that type.
On readflex, a piddle with the badvalue header will
automatically have its badflag set and its badvalue as well
if it is not the default.
* New PDL::Constants module providing PI and E
* New refresh.pdl in Example/PLplot. This provides
some of the same functionality as in the PDL
PGPLOT graphics.
* Inplace support added for PDL::Complex operations
* OPENGL_LIBS, OPENGL_INC and OPENGL_DEFINE
no longer used in perldl.conf as the Perl
OpenGL binding is now required for TriD graphics.
* Additional code clean up now that PDL::Karma
graphics are no longer provided.
* Various bug and documentation fixes.
Release Notes for PDL 2.4.7_012 --------------------------
General Notes:
* This is a 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-2.4.7_012.tar.gz

cpan> test CHM/PDL-2.4.7_012.tar.gz
cpan> look CHM/PDL-2.4.7_012.tar.gz
Highlights:
* Fixed pdl constructor bugs
- Include a larger and more-complete set of tests.
- Fixes SF.net bugs: #3011879, #3080505, and #3139088.
- Please test and verify.
* Legacy (deprecated) X11+PP build of TriD OpenGL bindings
has been removed
You must use the new Perl OpenGL based build which has
proven to be more portable and reliable. This prepares
TriD graphics development for the next stage of refactoring
for support and functionality.
* More tests have been updated to not run unless the feature
they test was actually built. This addresses the possible
mysterious test failures caused by previous PDL installs
in the perl path at build time.
- t/opengl.t will not run if TriD graphics have not been built
- t/gsl*.t tests will not run if WITH_GSL => 0
* Remove Karma support code from PDL distribution
The last stable CPAN distribution with Karma code
in it (though deprecated) will be PDL-2.4.7.
* Added INTERNATIONALIZATION file with i18n notes
PDL does not have internationalization support beyond
that provided by perl itself. In fact, some of the
code may be specific to English and ASCII for file names
and strings. This file is a place holder and reminder
to address these issues.
* Some documentation and FAQ updates.
Release Notes for PDL 2.4.7_011 --------------------------
General Notes:

cpan> look CHM/PDL-2.4.7_011.tar.gz
Highlights:
* Fixes to GD, HDF, and PROJ4 tests to not run if they
weren't built.
* New binary blob support in PDL::IO::GD::OO
* Changed from interactive prompt when duplicate PDL is
found at PDL config time. Now we just warn.

cpan> test CHM/PDL-2.4.7_009.tar.gz
cpan> look CHM/PDL-2.4.7_009.tar.gz
Highlights:
* Update Known_problems, Perldl2/TODO, Release_Notes
* Fixed upstream bug in Devel::REPL for MultiLine continuation
so now incomplete q[] and qq[] constructs continue reading
until properly closed. This was a problem for pdl2 and its
multiline support.
* Fix sf.net bug #3172882 re broken threading in inv
- inv() and lu_backsub() now handle threading
- documentation updates for lu_decomp, lu_deomp2, lu_backsub
* Fix imag2d not to exit on ESC in pdl2/perldl
Clean up PAUSE/STEP key controls for imag2d()
Add imag2d_update to EXPORT_OK and fix bug
There are preliminary key bindings for the default
imag2d() windows to support SPACE to toggle pause,
[ . or > ] to step/move forward, and [ , or < ] to
move backward through frame data.
* clean up tests for PLplot functions
- common code in tests for PLplot functions has been abstracted
- plsfont & plgfont interfaces are now conditional on their existence
- OPTIONS! file is now Perl code.
- all conditional code API code is now based on
presence of a feature rather than version
* readenvi doc/code cleanup, ignore case in hdr keys
* wmpeg() with the ffmpeg converter supports generation
of many different output video file formats including
MPEG, MP4, and animated GIF. Documentation on these
uses were added.
Release notes for PDL 2.4.7_008 --------------------------
General Notes:
* This is a 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> test CHM/PDL-2.4.7_008.tar.gz
cpan> look CHM/PDL-2.4.7_008.tar.gz
Highlights:
* Merged PDL version of Graphics/PLplot with the stand-alone
package from CPAN, version 0.53.
* Fixed segfault in plplot.t by avoiding the problem: pdl($pdl->sclr).
Calls to pdl() with arguments that are themselves PDLs still fails.
* Fixed sf.net bug #3139697: The imag2d() routine was using
FreeGLUT-specific macros: GLUT_ACTION_ON_WINDOW_CLOSE and
GLUT_ACTION_CONTINUE_EXECUTION which was a problem on OS X
GLUT which does not support them. Added check for FreeGLUT
to conditionalize their use.
* Update PDL::IO::FlexRaw POD for writeflex
* Add open MODE support to writeflex "filename"
writeflex is documented to take as argument either a "filename"
or a FILEHANDLE however if passed something like ">filename" as
the file argument, it would quietly (and unexpectedly) open the
file ">$name" which would then be ">>filename" and the data would
be appended to the file rather than overwriting it.
This modifies the "filename" option to be used explicitly if
passed a perl open type MODE+filename expression which might
avoid someone's utter confusion in the future...
Release notes for PDL 2.4.7_007 --------------------------
General Notes:
* This is a developers release!
- It is a snapshot of the current git development tree
and everything may not work correctly or have complete

cpan> test CHM/PDL-2.4.7_007.tar.gz
cpan> look CHM/PDL-2.4.7_007.tar.gz
Highlights:
* Added do_print command to pdl2 shell which toggles the
input mode between printing and not printing the value
of each command.
* Cleaned up documentation on when to use lu_decomp and
lu_decomp2. Now that lu_decomp is threaded, it is the
preferred implementation.
* pdldoc and the pdl2/perldl help commands now print
all matches by default when multiple matches are
found. It is easier to use the pager than to re-enter
the help command with a [$n] on it.
* Fixed SF bug #3056142: pdl2 fallback to perldl broken on win32
* Fixed documentation for the PDL::hist routine where
use of the unix man convention of []'s around optional
arguements was confusing in PDL since [] are valid
perl delimiters/constructs.
* writeflex now supports automatically calling the
writeflexhdr routine if you have set the variable
$PDL::FlexRaw::writeflexhdr to a true value.
* Use standard abbreviations for piddle info output
for sizes (KB and MB rather than Kb and Mb).

* Fixed SF bug #3042201: t/dumper.t fails mysteriously
* Added detection and skips for bad PROJ4 installs to t/proj_transform.t
and t/proj_transform2.t
* Added new global setting to control maximum PDL print size,
$PDL::longbigtoprint, and added POD to Core.pm.PL covering
these important PDL package variables.
* Fixed SF bug #3057542: wmpeg doesn't error on missing ffmpeg.
Now wmpeg returns 1 on success and undef on error. If ffmpeg
is not in PATH, just fail immediately....

PDL::address in Core.pm to format the resulting value
correctly.
* Fix missing stdlib.h include for Lib/Image2D/resample.h
* Fix bug in readenvi header list value processing and
add support for non-zero imbedded file header size.
* Refactored t/complex.t to use Test::More
* Fix bug in FlexRaw.pm support for headers with
Type passed as string. There was a case where
'double' was being pased to the PDL::howbig which
generated an error on some platforms. It is not
clear why this did not fail on all platforms.
