Highlights: * SF.net Bugs fixed: 429 Alien::Proj4->load_projection_information parses PJ_sch parameters incorrectly 432 Work around List::MoreUtils bug t/gd_oo_test.t started failing in testers. 433 GSL SF errors kill perl and pdl2/perldl shell 434 Missing indx type in heading list of conversions. * Build improvements: - Add requirements and better test diags for PDL::IO::GD. - Apppy patch so PDL::Lite can be used more than once Thanks to Shawn Laffan for the patch. - Fix build on perl <= 5.14 by adding ExtUtils::ParseXS to CONFIGURE_REQUIRES. - Make coretarget generate parallelisable make deps Make "core" target be generated by separate function - Fixes for coming removal of . from @INC for PDL build. Thanks to Todd Rinaldo for the first patch and raising the issue. * Various updates to the documentation. v2.017_02 2017-05-18 17:33:55-04:00 General Notes: * This is version 2.017_02 of the Perl Data Language, and essentially PDL 2.018 release candidate 1. If it tests ok we expect to release it as PDL 2.018 this weekend. Highlights: * Fix problem where PDL::Lite could not be loaded more than once. (Thanks to Shawn Laffan) * Fix sf.net bug #429 with poor generation of documentation. * Fix sf.net bug #433 where errors in GSL routines caused perl to exit. * Build enhancements for PDL::IO::GD to improve test diagnostic messages and add List::MoreUtils as a dependency for PDL. * Better docs and explanation of indx datatype. This closes sf.net bug #434. * Add some missing modules to DEPENDENCIES (thanks to Luis Mochan). v2.017_01 2017-04-29 11:39:22-04:00 General Notes: * This is version 2.017_01 of the Perl Data Language, * Addresses some problems from changes in the perl infrastructure that are or will break things in PDL. Highlights: * Handle coming removal of '.' from @INC * Fix sf bug #432: Work around List::MoreUtils bug This was causing a lot of PDL test failures. * Fix build problem on perl <= 5.14 v2.017 2016-10-08 13:50:39-04:00 General Notes: * This is version 2.017 of the Perl Data Language, * Bugs fixed: 379 Passing qsort an extra argument causes a segfault 393 Tests may fail if perl is compiled with -Duselongdouble 409 PDL demos with PGPLOT display ignore $ENV{PGPLOT_DEV} 413 PDL::Core::Dev::pdlpp_postamble() cannot handle .pd files in subdirectories 419 t/#pdl_from_string.t fails on long double systems 421 PDL::IO::FITS can't handle 64-bit integers (longlong, indx) 422 PDL misc. compiler warnings. 423 wcols FORMAT option always incorrectly gives error 424 Calling PDL on a list of piddles fails to propogate bad values 425 svd is broken for everything but 2x2 matrices --- Typo in PDL::GSLSF::COUPLING routine gsl_sf_coupling_6j Highlights: * Several patches contributed from the Debian team have been applied that fix documentation spelling errors, make PDL builds more reproducible, and will make packaging PDL easier. * More helpful error message when multi-element PDL is used in a boolean expression (feature request #84) * Improve argument size handling and documentation for rle (feature request #80) * One can now use $pdlc = pdl($pdla,$pdlb) when $pdla and/or $pdlb have BAD values and the BAD values will propagate to $pdlc. Previously this would only work with a copy of a single piddle (e.g., $pdlc = pdl($pdla) ) or with 'cat'. * Many changes have been made to make PDL compile more cleanly and emit fewer compiler warnings. * Quiet printf format warning for sizeof() * Deprecate finite in favor of isfinite. * Many cleanups and additions to the test suite to use Test::More and to add meaningful test descriptions. * Added subtests to primitive.t * Add PDL::Doc::add_module to pdlpp_postamble v2.016_91 2016-10-03 14:03:19-04:00 General Notes: * This is version 2.016_13 of the Perl Data Language, a.k.a. PDL-2.017 release candidate 1. * All but release notes and announcement done... Highlights: * Added subtests to primitive.t * Quiet printf format warning for sizeof() v2.016_03 2016-10-01 17:51:40-04:00 General Notes: * This is version 2.016_03 of the Perl Data Language.

Previously this would only work with a copy of a single piddle (e.g., $pdlc = pdl($pdla) ) or with 'cat'. * Many changes have been made to make PDL compile more cleanly and emit fewer compiler warnings. * Many cleanups and additions to the test suite to use Test::More and to add meaningful test descriptions. * Several patches contributed from the Debian team have been applied that fix documentation spelling errors, make PDL builds more reproducible, and will make packaging PDL easier. v2.016_01 2016-06-01 13:01:55-04:00 General Notes: * This is version 2.016_01 of the Perl Data Language. Highlights: * Add PDL::Doc::add_module to pdlpp_postamble * Deprecate finite in favor of isfinite. v2.016 2016-05-30 10:22:04-04:00 General Notes: * This is version 2.016 of the Perl Data Language. * Bugs fixed: 417 Perl 5.22: + GSL 2.1 fails to build 408 PDL::GSL::RNG set_seed minor improvement 407 Build failures with GSL 2.1 416 PDL::PP creates .pm & .xs files before pp_done is called 414 ccNcompt (i.e. cc4compt and cc8compt) breaks with byte data type Highlights: * All collapse operators now have "<name>over" equivalent names. This ends an API wart in which most, but not all, of the collapse operators had a short form that did full collapse and a long form that did 1-D collapse only (e.g. "and" collapses to a point, while "andover" collapses by one dimension). The exceptions are left in for legacy code, but now have regularized "-over" forms as well: average -> avgover daverage -> davgover maximum -> maxover maximum_ind -> maxover_ind maximum_n_ind -> maxover_n_ind minmaximum -> minmaxover minimum -> minover minimum_ind -> minover_ind minimum_n_ind -> minover_n_ind * PDL::Transform image resampling now handles bad values in images. In particular, the `h' and `j' (optimized filter) resampling methods properly skip bad values in the image, marking output pixels bad if more than 1/3 of the weighted values associated with that output pixel are bad. * PDLs with dataflow can now be reshaped. The dataflow connection gets severed by the reshape operation. * PDL::IO::FITS now works better with RICE-compressed FITS images, such as are produced by NASA's SDO project. - The NAXIS* header keywords are now replaced by their ZNAXIS* equivalents, so the NAXIS fields in the header are correct after the image is read in. - The Z*, TFIELDS, TTYPE*, and TFORM* keywords are now deleted from the header object, so that the uncompressed, loaded image does not have leftover compression headers. * The language preprocessor PDL::PP now does not automatically call pp_done for modules that do not call pp_done themselves. This new, stricter behavior requires module authors to call pp_done at the end of their PDL::PP file. This prevents partially-complete .xs and .pm files from being written if there is a module build error. * PDL::GSLSF modules have several fixes/improvements to support building against GSL 2.0: - New calling convention for gsl_sf_ellint_D. - New functions gsl_sf_legendre_array and gsl_sf_legendre_array_index. - Deprecated gsl_sf_legendre_Plm_array and gsl_sf_legendre_sphPlm_array. - New tests for new legendre functions. - Test requires all PDL::GSLSF modules to successfully load. * PDL::GSL::RNG now allows chaining for the set_seed() method: e.g. $rng = PDL::GSL::RNG->new(..)->set_seed(..) * PDL::Image2D's ccNcompt connected-component analysis code now returns types that are >= long, to avoid common overflow errors. * PDL::whichND returns PDLs of Indx type, to avoid overflows. * Empty piddles are handled slightly differently now by PDL::info and `help vars'. Empty piddles are different from null piddles, and now generate different info strings. (null piddles lack data or dimensions; empty piddles have at least one dimension of size 0). * PDL::Fit::LM: - Documentation has been clarified relating to input data uncertainties and weighting of the fit. - A small test suite has been added. * There is now a .gitattributes file so GitHub repo language stats are more accurate. * The PDL SF/GitHub deveolpment workflow is integrated into the DEVELOPMENT docs. v2.015_001 2016-05-27 12:28:39-04:00 General Notes: * A.k.a PDL-2.016 release candidate 1. Highlights: * TBD v2.015 2015-11-22 08:52:22-05:00 General Notes: * PDL-2.015 is a clean and polish release. It fixes some problems discovered with PDL-2.014 and improves the 64bit integer support. Highlights: * Fixes to improve compile and test of F77 modules on OS X (i.e. don't build i386 versions) * Basic/Ops/ops.pd - make compatible with MSVC++ 6.0 * Fix win10 breakage in t/flexraw_fortran.t Apparently, temp files were not being released after use which was preventing the tests to pass. * Fix missing PDL license information * Fix sf.net bug #403: reshape() failed when applied to a piddle with dataflow. Now, changing the shape of a PDL that already has dataflow is prevented and an error message given. * Fix sf.net bug 406 Added missing logic for clump(-N) and minor cleanup of perl wrapper. * force new_pdl_from_string to return a piddle with P=physical flag * Add $PDL::indxformat for PDL_Indx This avoids loss of significance when 64bit PDL_Indx values are printed. Make new_pdl_from_string() avoid converting IV values to NVs This allows pdl(indx, '[ 9007199254740992 ]') to work without rounding due to the 52bit double precision mantissa versus the 63bits + sign for PDL_Indx. * Add type support info to pdl() constructor documentation. pdl() has always supported this usage but examples were missing in the documentation. * improving PDL::GSL::RNG documentation * remove spurious '}' from gnuplot demo v2.014_03 2015-11-19 12:37:00-05:00 General Notes: * This quick release is to verify the fix for the PDL license information. Highlights: * Some updates to Changes and Known_problems as well. v2.014_02 2015-11-17 09:20:23-05:00 General Notes: * This is the 2nd release candidate for PDL-2.015 Highlights: * Same as PDL-2.014_01 but with a couple of F77 build fixes from Karl to support MacOSX builds and, we hope, a SciPDL to go with PDL-2.015! v2.014_01 2015-11-14 14:01:28-05:00 General Notes: * This is PDL-2.014_01, a cleanup and bug fix release. Highlights: * Add $PDL::indxformat for PDL_Indx and Make new_pdl_from_string() avoid converting IV values to NVs PDL_Indx values (type indx) now print with an integer format specification so all digits get printed. In addition pdl(indx, '[ 9007199254740992 ]') works as well going the other direction. * Fix sf.net bug 403: reshape can't handle piddles with -C flag reshape() on a piddle with dataflow isn't meaningful. Now a warning is given. You can $pdl->sever first and then reshape() can be applied. * Fix sf.net bug 406: clump() produces bogus dims * Various build improvments and documentation fixes: - force new_pdl_from_string to return a piddle with P=physical flag - remove spurious '}' from gnuplot demo - Basic/Ops/ops.pd - make compatible with MSVC++ 6.0 - Fix win10 breakage in t/flexraw_fortran.t - improving PDL::GSL::RNG documentation - Add type convert info to POD for the pdl() constructor v2.014 2015-10-12 11:44:10-04:00 General Notes: * This is PDL-2.014 introducing full support for 64bit indexing operations using 64bit PDL_Indx data type. * PDL can now create and use piddles having more than 2**32 elements. Of particular use is that you can now use PDL::IO::FlexRaw to memory map piddles from files on disk which can allow for simplified processing and IO on extremely large data. * Due to the new PDL_Anyval type changes, existing PDL::PP modules may need to be updated to support the new PDL Core version 12 API. Authors, please see PDL::API for macros to ease the porting. Users, be aware that some modules may not work until they are updated by their maintainers. Highlights: * Implement PDL_Anyval data type as union to support 64bit indexing This adds a union data type to add 64bit integer support to the original PDL-2.x types which assumed that double was capable of holding all the "lesser" types. With the PDL_Anyval type, we can correctly handle 64bit integer data types and avoid errors and loss of precision due to conversions to or from PDL_Double. Special thanks to kmx and zowie for their help to complete and debug this implementation. * Many fixes to the build process to make PDL more robust to build, test, and install. This takes advantage of new automated CI testing via Travis CI on the github site. Thanks much to Ed and Zakariyya for their work to get this started and maintained. This CI testing makes this the best tested and best testing PDL release ever! * Various documentation clean-ups and work to improve on-line viewing at http://metacpan.org and others. (Thanks kmx and Derek!) * A new ipow() method haw been added with 64bit integer support. ipow() calculates the integer exponentiation of a value by successive multiplications. This allows one to avoid loss of significance in integer exponents. pow() converts the value to double and will always have <52bits precision. * nbadover and ngoodover now return indx type (PDL_Indx) * PDL now detects when your perl installation has been built with floating point longer than 8 bytes and gives a one time warning that precision will be lost converting from perl NV to PDL_Doubles. This warning is given on "use PDL;" * "use PDL" now includes "use PDL::IO::Storable" This avoids a hard to diagnose crash that can occur when a user tries using Storable without the necessary "use PDL::IO::Storable". * MANY sf.net bugs fixed: 400 dataflow slice crash around 2**31 boundary 399 Small doc fixes 398 $pdl->hdr items are lost after $pdl->reshape 396 online docs for modules only work first time in PDL shells 395 ipow (integer exponentiation) support for 64bit index support 394 demo cartography fails 383 gcc/#gfortran 4.9.2 needs -lquadmath 378 where on dice of pdl bad results 376 PDL Segmentation fault working with Storable restored PDL 347 t/#pdl_from_string.t has a failure if BADVAL_NAN=1 346 ExtUtils::F77 dependency causing problems for CPAN install 343 longlong constructor and display lose digits due to... 340 orover of byte data returns long type v2.013_06 2015-10-10 16:04:14-04:00 General Notes: * This is PDL-2.013_06 which is RC 2 for PDL-2.014 and likely the final one before the official release. Please report any final issues and doc patches ASAP. Highlights: * Mark some failing tests in t/primitive.t as TODO to avoid CPAN Testers failures. * Add IPC::Cmd to TEST_REQUIRES v2.013_05 2015-10-08 07:14:19-04:00 General Notes: * This is PDL-2.013_05 (a.k.a. PDL-2.014 rc 1) which is the fifth CPAN developers release for PDL with newly completed support for 64bit indexing. * Needs testing for piddles with more than 2**32 elements but all checks pass so far. Highlights: * Fix problem with broken t/opengl.t for testers v2.013_04 TBD General Notes: * This is PDL-2.013_04 which is the fourth CPAN developers release for PDL with newly completed support for 64bit indexing. * Needs testing for piddles with more than 2**32 elements but all checks pass so far. Highlights: * t/opengl.t is skipped the dynamic GL window creation tests if $AUTOMATED_TESTING is true. * A new ipow() routine for integer exponentiation * Corrected return types of intover, borover, bandover, nbadover, and ngoodover. * Fixed compile problem in clang from using finite() on an integer datatype. v2.013_03 2015-10-04 12:21:30-04:00 General Notes: * This is PDL-2.013_03 which is the third CPAN developers release for PDL with newly completed support for 64bit indexing. * Needs testing for piddles with more than 2**32 elements but all checks pass so far. Highlights: * More clean-up to handle perls with long double NVs Loss of precision will be warned on "use PDL;" * Skipping t/bigmem.t to avoid OOM CPAN Testers fails. * Minor fixes to C code to meet stricter compiler and C99 requirements. v2.013_02 2015-10-03 08:40:08-04:00 General Notes: * This is PDL-2.013_02 which is the second CPAN developers release for PDL with newly completed support for 64bit indexing. * Needs testing for piddles with more than 2**32 elements but all checks pass so far. Highlights: * Clean up to handle perls with long double NVs * Various bugs closed * PDL::IO::Storable is now loaded with "use PDL;" v2.013_01 2015-09-26 17:39:41-04:00 General Notes: * This is PDL-2.013_01 which is the first CPAN developers release for PDL with newly completed support for 64bit indexing. * Needs testing for piddles with more than 2**32 elements but all checks pass so far. Highlights: * TBD v2.013 2015-08-14 08:37:15-04:00 General Notes: * This is PDL-2.013. It is PDL-2.012 with some fixes for badvalue problems and Solaris make issues. * See PDL 2.012 notes below. Highlights: * Fix for sf.net bug #390: scalar PDL with badvalue always compares BAD with perl scalars. Now a warning is given if the badvalue could conflict with the results of a logical or comparision operation. * Fixed a makefile construct which was ambiguous and caused build failures on Solaris using their make. Gnu make was not affected even on Solaris. v2.012_01 2015-08-01 15:47401-0400 General Notes: * This is PDL-2.012_01. It is PDL-2.012 with some fixes for badvalue problems when the badvalue was 0 or 1. * See PDL 2.012 notes below. Highlights: * Candidate fix for sf.net bug #390: scalar PDL with badvalue always compares BAD with perl scalars v2.012 2015-06-14 08:27:01-0400 General Notes: * This is PDL-2.012 it is essentially PDL-2.011 with some fixes for some minor issues that only came to light with a new official release. * See PDL 2.011 notes below. Highlights: * Add package statements so PDL::Lite and PDL::LiteF are indexed correctly * Give PDL::NiceSlice a non-developer release for indexing * Fix build regression that broke ActiveState perl builds for many perl versions and OS platforms. v2.011 2015-06-02 17:01:22-0400 General Notes: * This is PDL-2.011 it is essentially PDL-2.008 with some fixes for some minor issues. * perl 5.10.x is now the minimum version of perl supported by PDL-2.008 and later. * PDL::FFTW is no longer part of the PDL Core. Please use PDL::FFTW3 from CPAN (Dima Kogan) with Alien::FFTW3 support (Craig DeForest) * PDL::Graphics::PLplot is no longer included in the PDL core distribution. Please install from CPAN directly. * 50 sf.net bug tickets closed/fixed since PDL-2.007! * Partial 64bit indexing support with some fixes to remaining issues. Full 64bit support for perl modulus operater ('%') is in progress. * Major clean up and rework of the core PDL computation code, the build process, test suites, and updating to reflect more of the best practices for perl module development. * The PDL development has moved to github and now has added continuous commit testing via the Travis-CI framework. The git workflow is now inline with current practices and it is expected that this will allow more contributions and "eyes on the code". Highlights: * See PDL 2.008 Highlights below. v2.010 2015-06-02 14:40:15-0400 General Notes: * Another indexing regression. Sigh. v2.009_01 2015-05-29 17:47:57-0400 General Notes: Highlights: * Removal of PDL::Graphics::PLplot since exists as separate CPAN distro v2.009 2015-05-29 12:26:25-0400 General Notes: * This is PDL-2.009. It has tweaks to fix PAUSE/CPAN indexing problems in 2.008. * Known_problems updated to reflect a seldom seen pdldoc installation problem for certain custom perl configurations on cygwin. A workaround is known. Please contact the PDL mailing list if you have this problem. See the sf.net bug report at http://sourceforge.net/p/pdl/bugs/384/ for more information. * See Release Notes for PDL 2.008 below for more. v2.008 2015-05-24 18:42:22-0400 General Notes: * This is PDL-2.008! Yay! * perl 5.10.x is now the minimum version of perl supported by PDL-2.008 and later. * 50 sf.net bug tickets closed/fixed since PDL-2.007! * Partial 64bit indexing support with some fixes to remaining issues.

The git workflow is now inline with current practices and it is expected that this will allow more contributions and "eyes on the code". Highlights: * PDL::FFTW is no longer part of the PDL Core. Please use PDL::FFTW3 from CPAN (Dima Kogan) with Alien::FFTW3 support (Craig DeForest) * New improved vsearch functionality, interfaces, and documentation (Diab Jerius) * PDL::IO::Storable now robust against version, platform endianness, and supports the new 64bit PDL_Indx data type (Dima Kogan) * Clean up of PDL/Basic/Core code to remove cruft and to simplify the evolution to a coming improvements (Craig DeForest) * Major clean up, de-crufting, and streamlining of the entire PDL ExtUtils::MakeMaker build process (Ed J) * Standardizing and updating the entire PDL test suite to a common basis (use Test::More) and coding to more consistent best practices. E.g., use strict This is a huge (ongoing) effort but a comprehensive test suite is needed for regression tests to validate compatibility of coming PDL3 architecture changes. (Zakariyya Mughal) * You can now call the PDL::Graphics2D twiddle() routine with an argument of 0 or 1 (i.e., false or true) to set whether the twiddle loop is run. * Library dependency detection improvements including PROJ4 and GD. A number of improvements in this for strawberry perl on windows (kmx) * The PDL distribution process now generated the documentation for the modules using the automated code generation process. This makes all the PDL docs available on http://search.cpan.org and on http://metacpan.org for your web browser. (kmx) * Improved support to build XS/C extensions: (Ed J) - You can now: "use Inline with => 'PDL';", see PDL::API - You can, in your module's Makefile.PL: "$p = new ExtUtils::Depends 'MyMod', 'PDL'" * MANY sf.net tickets closed: 377 PDL::Transform::Proj4 not building under latest dev EUMM 375 Storable files incorrectly processed from older versions. 374 CONFIGURE_REQUIRES => Devel::CheckLib 373 2.007_11 MANIFEST 372 2.007_11 fails on MS Windows 64bit 371 PDL-2.4.11 medover failure in perl 5.20.1 370 PDL-2.007 can fail to build Basic/#Core files 369 slice fails with subclass index 368 PDL::Slatec::polyfit ignores incorrect length of weight piddle... 367 BAD value parsing breakage 365 CPAN PDL install broken due to breakage in Module::Compile 0.34 363 PP "OtherPars" namespace is not clean 362 rcols COLIDS need chomp-ing 361 vsearch bug w/# reversed list 360 subtle & rare bug in vsearch 359 Improved documentation for vsearch 358 one2nd() has unexpected behaviour when given a Perl scalar rather than a piddle 357 Android support 356 overload::Method() does not return coderef for stringification 355 dog creates 0 dim piddle which squeezes to 1 dim. 353 imag2d not 'use warnings' safe and no way to disable twiddle 352 reorder() not an lvalue sub 351 PDL_BOOT has wrong XS code 350 Modules using PDL::Slatec will get installed even if Slatec is disabled 349 PDL needs integrated support for PDL::PP and CPAN indexer 348 PDL->null->slice('')->nelem results in error 345 documentation of WITH_PLPLOT in perldl.conf incorrect 344 Current version numbering is broken 342 BUGS file not indexable or discoverable 337 rangeb() broken for 64bit index support on 32bit perl 332 "isn't numeric in null operation" warning could be more helpful 331 uniq does not always return proper object 329 t/#picrgb.t fails in PDL build 321 Several core modules do not have man pages 319 PDL::Index does not render on websites 316 plplot.t failure when building 2.4.11 314 conv1d bad value broken 313 clip() edge case not handled right 312 Wrong results in corner empty-set cases 283 PDL::IO::FITS::wfits corrupting FITS image 272 indexND of Empty pdls can segfault 268 PLplot still unusable with X 261 max() fails on nan 256 Threadable version of PDL::MatrixOps::inv 232 perl -d chokes on lvalue functions 227 PGPLOT module doesn't work in PDL 224 Ctrl-C kills perldl in win32 console 207 Name "PDL::SHARE" used only once. 63 Unable to get the 3d demos 51 justify option fails in imag (PDL2.3.4) v2.007_17 2015-05-06 13:35:57-0400 General Notes: * This is PDL-2.008_rc4!

This fixes problems where PDL::NiceSlice was applying the sourcefilter to the content of comments and strings. Still to do: implement for command line use in perldl/pdl2 shells. * Added ability to call PDL::Graphics2D twiddle() routine with an argument of 0 or 1 (technically false or true) to set whether the twiddle loop is run. Also fixed a minor warning generated with 'use warnings'. This closes bug #353. * Lots of clean up and build process improvements. v2.007_10 2015-02-02 10:59:22-05:00 General Notes: * Counting down to a PDL-2.008 release this February 2015 Highlights: * More clean up to build process. v2.007_09 2015-01-29 11:01:24-05:00 General Notes: * Counting down to a PDL-2.008 release this February 2015 Highlights: * perl 5.10.x is now the minimum version of perl supported for this release. Please test. * Much clean up of the EU::MM build process by Ed.:w v2.007_08 2015-01-20 18:24:01-05:00 General Notes: * Counting down to a PDL-2.008 release this January 2015 Highlights: * Some ExtUtils::MakeMaker fixes and clean up for the PDL build process. * Fix non-portable usage bug in t/vsearch.t which prevented the test from passing on perls 5.12 and earlier v2.007_07 2015-01-06 17:44:08+11:00 General Notes: * Counting down to a PDL-2.008 release this January 2015 Highlights: * This release includes the new pre-generated pm/pod to clean up the docs available on-line on metacpan.org and search.cpan.org. * Bug fix in t/vsearch.t to support perl 5.12 and earlier. PDL currently supports perl 5.8.x and later. v2.007_06 2015-01-05 13:31:13-05:00 General Notes: * Counting down to a PDL-2.008 release this January 2015 Highlights: * Fixed a number of bugs on the sf.net tracker * Fix for EU-MM-7.0 and later problem with dmake * Include generated pod in the distribution so that metacpan.org and search.cpan.org have better/working online docs. v2.007_05 2014-12-24 09:24:04-05:00 General Notes: Highlights: * You can now: "use Inline with => 'PDL';" - see PDL::API * You can, in your module's Makefile.PL: "$p = new ExtUtils::Depends 'MyMod', 'PDL'" * Various bugs fixed * New vsearch() implementations with features and flexibility v2.007_04 2014-09-09 00:44:29+01:00 General Notes: Highlights: * You can now: "use Inline with => 'PDL';" - see PDL::API * You can, in your module's Makefile.PL: "$p = new ExtUtils::Depends 'MyMod', 'PDL'" v2.007_03 2014-07-01 16:54:59-04:00 General Notes: Highlights: * Fix documentation builds for installs into vendor directory. * Fixes for library detection on MS Windows * Fix incompatibility of PDL::IO::Storable with perl versions < 5.10.x v2.007_02 2013-11-25 14:10:22-05:00 General Notes: Highlights: * This release should be a working PDL::IO::Storable that is compatable with the new 64bit index support. * PDL::IO::Storable now requires perl 5.10.x or greater although the overall distribution requirements are not planned to update to 5.10.x until the completion of fixes for the longlong hidden double precision conversion slash truncation bug. v2.007_01 2013-11-17 16:31:17-05:00 General Notes: 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 v2.007 2013-10-12 12:56:52-04:00 General Notes: * PDL computations now use 64bit indexing/addressing if your platform supports it (i.e., your perl configuration has $Config{ivsize} == 8). - You can process with pdls with more then 2**32 elements. - Memory mapped file IO supports up to 8TB files which allows much simpler processing of large data files. (See mapflex in PDL::IO::FlexRaw for details) * PDL-2.007 has a new, unified slicing engine and syntax that consolidates the multiple slicing variants into a backward compatible but now 64bit aware slice. See the PDL::Slices for the new syntax that is enabled. * PDL::FFTW has moved to its own distribution on CPAN and is no longer in the PDL core distribution. Look for PDL::FFTW3 coming to CPAN soon. * Some required dependencies have been update to more recent versions: - ExtUtils::MakeMaker now requires version 6.56 or higher, the minimum version with CONFIGURE_REQUIRES support. - Perl OpenGL 0.6702 is now required for PDL::Graphics::TriD to build. This fixes a number of critical bugs and should be a seamless upgrade. - File::Map version 0.57 is required. This fixes map_anonymous support for the >2**32 sizes needed for 64bit support. Legacy mmap support for unix platforms is no longer supported. The distribution requires File::Map so you should not notice the change. * Incompatible Changes: - PDL::FFT now uses the same sign convention as FFTW and the rest of the world, -1/+1 for forward and reverse FFT respectively. - C/XS API of PDL-2.007 is incompatible with previous PDL releases. If you upgrade to PDL-2.007, you *will* need to re-install or upgrade *all* dependent XS or PP based modules. - PDL now auto-promotes array refs in many places that previously required a piddle (so you can say, e.g., "$a->index([2,3])" instead of "$a->index(pdl(2,3))"). - String syntax for slice() specifications now ignore white space. * The clean up of the PDL core distribution continues and PDL-2.007 is no exception. Many bug fixes, documentation updates, code and implementation improvements make this the best testing PDL release to date. Highlights: * FITS IO improvements and fixes: - Added 'afh" option to rfits to allow explicit use of legacy hash parser for performance reasons. - New multiple extension writing support for wfits. * Added pp_deprecate_module() to PDL::PP * New mode/modeover functions in PDL::Ufunc * Made exception handling in slices more robust. * PDL::CLONE_SKIP added for improved ithread support. * Updated graticule() in PDL::Transform::Cartography to support NaN-delimited output. * Bugs fixes: - Fix %hash randomization bugs in PDL tests - Fix OpenBSD pthread build problem for non-threaded perls - Fix PDL::shape to return vector for 1-D piddles - Fix badvalue-on-truncate support for map and for interpND - Fix for MSVC++ 6.0 to build on 32bit systems. MSVC++ 6.0 cannot be used to build 64bit index support. - Fix polyfit() handling of BAD values and various edge cases. - Fix rare "Bizarre copy of HASH in scalar assignment" - Fix rcols with colsep and $PDL::undefval - Fix sf.net bug #331 "uniq does not always return proper object" - Fix sf.net bug #338 PDL::FFT uses backwards sign convention from FFTW - Make PDL::NiceSlice preserve line numbering (sf.net feature #75) - PDL::IO::GD->new() is now less picky about it args, and no longer crashes - Two bug fixes to transform.pd, and an augmentation v2.006 2013-03-23 10:02:31-04:00 General Notes: * Change to the version number scheme used for PDL from the dotted-integers format back to plain old decimal numbers. Unfortunately, PDL has used both alternatives before and in an inconsistent, out-of-order way. With this release, the current version will also be the most recent version with respect to both numbering schemes. For more details see David Goldens blob post on the topic and the pdl-porters list discussion: http://www.dagolden.com/index.php/369/version-numbers-should-be-boring/ http://mailman.jach.hawaii.edu/pipermail//pdl-porters/2013-February/005343.html * PDL-2.006 also showcases the demos of two new PDL graphics modules in the perldl/pdl2 shells: - PDL::Graphics::Gnuplot http://search.cpan.org/~zowie/PDL-Graphics-Gnuplot-1.4/ - PDL::Graphics::Prima http://search.cpan.org/~dcmertens/PDL-Graphics-Prima-0.13/ Both modules install on all supported PDL platforms. A recent addition is PDL::Graphics::Simple which provides a uniform presentation to the variety off available PDL plot/view/print options. - PDL::Graphics::Simple http://search.cpan.org/~zowie/PDL-Graphics-Simple-1.004/README.pod Let us know how they work for you. As they are relatively "young" contributions your feedback and questions are always welcome. * PDL Distribution related updates: - Fixes a build issue for PDL at ASPerl - Many fixes for debian distributions. - PDL::IO::NDF has been moved to its own distribution on CPAN. This could affect upgrades from older PDL installs. Highlights: * New support for reading IDL format files via PDL::IO::IDL. * Added an unpdl method which is (roughly) the inverse operation of pdl (Joel Berger). * Updated polyfill and polyfillv routines to the algorithm from pnpoly: more accurate on edge pixels and faster due to its PP implementation (Tim Haines). * Added Boundary=>'Replicate' option to conv2d and med2d (chm). * Support for new additional random number generators to PDL::GSL (John Lapeyre). * Add lgamma support for MinGW-built perls with tests to match (sisyphus). * Many improvments to docs and their generation from PDL sources. Specific new functionality support: - Newly refactored docs engine using core perl modules rather than PDL-only ones (Joel Berger) - New FullDoc key added to PDL::PP makes writing CPAN friendly .pd files much, much easier (David Mertens). - New PDL::Doc::add_module() routine to add an external module's POD (with PDL::Doc conventions) to the PDL docs on-line database (Craig DeForest). * Many bugs fixed, some even before a ticket could be opened! - Sf.net bug #3607936: Fixed a bug causing crashes due to using inplace with a duplicate argument. - Sf.net bug #3603249: AutoLoader leaks $_ into local context, reported and fixed by Craig. - Sf.net bug #3588182: Fixed hist() handling of the case of fractional steps in integral input data types. - Sf.net bug #3563903: Fixed bug in PNG format detection on win32 platforms. - Sf.net bug #3544682: Fixed error report bug in perldl that resulted from a change in the way perl handles eval exception reporting. - Sf.net bug #3539760: qsort[vec] are now inplace aware. - Sf.net bug #3518190: Potential fix for t/gd_oo_tests.t test crashes. - Sf.net bug #3515759: Work around for PDL::GIS::Proj build failures with proj-4.8.0. - Sf.net bug #3479009: Fixed dummy() to generate a valid syntax for the underlying call to slice(). - Sf.net bug #3475075: Fixed 16-bit PNM raw format handling. - Added warning if conv1d is used on a piddle with the badflag set. - Fix NaN sign issues as reported (and fixed!) by Matthew McGillis with contributions by Sisyphus. - Fix rim() 3-arg form. Added tests to support and verify the development. - Fixed a problem with multiple windows and imag2d and imag2d_update. * The PDL shells keep getting better: - 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. This makes it easier to cut-and-paste example text from PDL shell sessions or from the PDL Book into an active session. - Added a demo for PDL::Graphics::Prima to the PDL shells. - Added a demo for gnuplot to the PDL shells. - The p shortcut to display output in the PDL shells has been reverted to its previous 2.4.10 behavior. If you wish it to be an exact alias for print just override in your .perldlrc or local.perldlrc file. v2.4.11 2012-05-20 13:32:17-04:00 General Notes: * This is a point release of PDL to support the coming perl 5.16.0 release. Highlights: * A new implementation mapflex and mapfraw routines provides memory-mapped IO for all platforms including win32 systems. * The new memory mapped IO support is implemented using File::Map so version 0.47 has been added as a required dependency to force automated testing so an automated build will need this dependency installed. NOTE: For systems having POSIX mmap, a manual build of PDL will automatically use the legacy implementation. * Various cleanup to existing code to fix warnings generated by perl versions 5.15.x and higher. Remove deprecation warning in PGPLOT/Window/Window.pm complex.pd - fix attempts to overload '<=>=' and '=>' * Sf.net bugs fixed: 3518253 Make PDL::flat work under perl 5.16 (thanks sprout!) 3516600 pdl_from_string.t fails w/ BADVAL_USENAN=1 3487569 PDL::IO::Misc : rcols problem (thanks bperret!) 3476648 PDL build of HTML docs fails on recent bleed Perl * Other bugs fixed: Fix check for glutRunning logic for imag2d Fixed a bug in cat's error reporting. Added lvalue awareness to whereND * New and improved tests have been added to the test suite. Tests t/gd_oo_tests.t and t/inline-comment-test.t are skipped for BSD platforms (see sf.net bugs #3518190 and #3524081 to track their issues). * New support for multi-line comments in PP code. See docs for PDL::PP for details (e.g., pdldoc PP). * Various enhancements to barf/croak output and messages to make error reports and stack traces more useful and readable. * There is a new changes (or Changes) target for the PDL Makefile which is a convenience target that allows one to regenerate the Changes file from git. v2.4.10 2012-02-03 18:44:47-05:00 General Notes: New Stuff: * PDL::Constants module provides E, PI, I (or J) and more. * PDL::NiceSlice has a new engine based on Filter::Simple which is more selective about where the PDL::NiceSlice sourcefilter is applied. * pdl() constructor now accepts a string argument which can include MATLAB-style [ ; ] syntax, bad values, inf values, and nan values. This makes it much easier to specify pdl values in programs and scripts. * PDL now supports pthreads on all platforms as well as a new, auto-parallelization capability for PDL threadloops across multiple processors using the PDL::ParallelCPU module. * Many(!) bug fixes. Incompatible Changes: * List output from whichND is now deprecated. * The default.perldlrc uses PDL::Constants to provide E and PI. * perldl.conf has new fields so be sure to update any local versions you use with the new fields. * rcols and wcols always use dim0 for the data dimension and dim1 for the column dimension. This only matters if you use the support for reading multiple columns into a 2D pdl. * Makefile.PL now requires at least version 6.31 of ExtUtils::MakeMaker to support the new standard INSTALL_BASE option matching Module::Build usage. * Prerequisite Text::Balanced minimum version is now 1.89 although this is not expected to be an issue because it is provided in the perl core since 5.8.0. Highlights: * General cleanup of code, including restructuring for clarity. * List output from whichND() is now deprecated. whichND() now returns a piddle of coordinates in all cases with a warning when a list context is detected. See the docs for work-arounds to your code. * PDL::IO::Misc now has better support for handles that are not files (e.g., pipes or standard input) for rgrep(), rcols(),... * Added bad value support to pctover() and oddpctover(). This was sf.net feature #3328001. * New whereND() routine provides the same functionality as where but with support for multi-dimensional masks and implicit threading over higher dimensions. This was sf.net feature request #3390043. * Many bugs fixed. 3059083 Problems with FITS header handling 3080505 PLplot segfaults on plshades call on OS X 3285520 status message from gslmroot_fsolver 3294808 sever on Empty piddle causes segfault 3295544 NiceSlice parsing bug 3299611 FITS I/O obscure bug 3300467 NiceSlice asterisk parsing issue 3307121 wmpeg sometimes kills perldl if file already exists 3307613 indexND of Empty pdls can segfault 3368883 t/opengl.t fails if display type not available 3375837 _read_flexhdr state machine fails 3388862 tiny bug in PDL-2.4.3. May apply to 2.4.9 3391645 bad printf formats in pdlapi.c and others 3394327 PDL::IO::FITS::wfits corrupting FITS image 3396738 PDL::Core::convert default return type 3410905 t/pgplot.t hangs test harness for PDL 3415115 whereND fails to handle all zero mask case 3428356 PDL::Transform::map output FITS header is slightly wrong 3434842 Error in definition of gsl_sf_laguerre_n function * PDL::Constants now provides: E, PI, I and J and is loaded by the default.perldlrc. It is not yet part of 'use PDL' so you'll need to 'use PDL::Constants ...' by hand for now. * default.perldlrc sets $PDL::IO::FlexRaw::writeflexhdr=1 by default so that writeflex() to a filename automatically writes the header file. This is different from the previous behavior but it seems to "do what you mean". Feedback welcome! * PDL::NiceSlice now has a new engine based on Filter::Simple which is smarter about only applying the slicing source filter to syntax occurring outside of POD, comments, and quotelike strings. The new implementation is available for *files* by setting the PDL_NICESLICE_ENGINE environment variable to 'Filter::Simple'. Work is underway to port the new niceslice filter implementation to perldl/pdl2. Once this task is completed, the new engine will become the default source filter and the PDL_NICESLICE_ENGINE environment variable will be removed. * There is experimental support for PDL::NiceSlice syntax in the perl debugger (i.e., perl -d). Just set the PERL5DB environment variable to 'BEGIN { require "PDLdb.pl" }' to use niceslice from the debugger command line. If PERL5DB is already set, you'll need to adjust the above recipe accordingly. * Better handling of build configuration options from perldl.conf as well as improvements in the detection of external dependencies. * perldl.conf has some new fields added: - POSIX_THREADS_INC and POSIX_THREADS_LIBS to specify locations of your pthread header file and library - PDL_CONFIG_VERSION to track the perldl.conf VERSION - PDLDOC_IGNORE_AUTOLOADER to control pdldoc behavior - PDL_BUILD_DIR provides the build directory path - PDL_BUILD_VERSION provides the PDL build version (to help with ambiguity from multiple PDL installs) NOTE: If you are using a private or customized perldl.conf file, please be sure to update with these additional fields as the perl Makefile.PL doesn't yet detect version skew automatically. * PDL::IO::Browser now builds in many cases (but not all). If you try it, please let us know how it goes. Just edit the value of WITH_IO_BROWSER in your perldl.conf before configuring the build (i.e., perl Makefile.PL). * PDL::PP has seen some significant improvements including code cleanup, improved documentation, and code refactoring for comprehension. There is a new PDL::PP::pp_line_numbers() routine which enables line # traceback for errors and warnings from PP code. * Improved error output from the pdl2 shell via the new CleanErrors plugin which filters out the non-PDL part of the error output leading to *much* more concise and helpful reports. * The pdl() constructor now accepts a string argument which allows for writing pdls using a matlab/octave style syntax as well as cutting and pasting from interactive session output to create pdls initializations for scripts and program files. The new constructor also allows for inf, nan, and bad to generate the appropriate values (case insensitive), e.g., $bad = pdl q[1 2 3 bad 5 6]; # Set fourth element to the bad value $bad = pdl q[1 2 3 BAD 5 6]; # ditto $bad = pdl q[1 2 inf bad 5]; # now third element is IEEE infinite value $bad = pdl q[nan 2 inf -inf]; # first value is IEEE nan value This is new functionality so feedback and problem reports are welcome. * PDL::Image2D has new routines: pnpoly() to determine the points in a polygon from the sequence of vertex coordinates, and cc4compt() for 4-component labeling of a binary image. * PDL now supports pdls larger than 2GiB. The element count is still an int type internally so the total number of elements per-piddle must be less than 2**31. * POSIX threads (pthreads) are supported for win32 and cygwin platforms. Pthreads are now available for all PDL platforms. * New PDL::ParallelCPU module provides automatic distribution of implicit thread loops across a number of processors. Now you can watch your PDL computations maximize the load on *all* your processors. See the docs for how to configure this feature and how to adjust your calculations to best take advantage of this feature. * PDL::Graphics::PLplot now works with the latest release of the PLplot library and has improved configuration and build handling. Feedback welcome. * rcols() and wcols() now use the same convention for multi-column input and output: dim0 is *always* the data dimension and dim1 corresponds to the columns in the file. This adjustment makes them their inverse operations. * The ADEV calculation in statsover has been corrected along with the documentation. * PDL::Graphics::TriD changes: - PDL::Graphics::TriD now builds using the perl OpenGL module (POGL) when configured on cygwin with the interface=W32API option. By default, POGL used interface=GLX on cygwin which does software rendering via Mesa/X11 (slower!). If you reinstall POGL with the W32API setting, you will need to rebuild PDL and PDL::Graphics::TriD to pick up the new configuration. - A new 4-line graphics demo contributed by Mark Baker has been added to 'demo 3dgal'. Take a look. * Various enhancements to FITS handling, including: - add map() fix for nonlinear FITS headers - Enable hdrpcy() in rfits() for Rice-compressed images * Test suite improvements to provide better diagnostics from failures and to make tests more correct avoiding "false fails" in the test reports. Various tests have been migrated to use File::Temp::tempdir and File::Temp::tempfile to improve the robustness for temporary files and directories naming and creation during tests. * Update ExtUtils::MakeMaker required version to 6.31 to support the new standard of INSTALL_BASE to configure for a local perl/PDL module installation. * Update Text::Balanced required version to 1.89. This is the version present in perl 5.8.0 (the minimum required for PDL) so this change in requirement is not expected to affect any PDL users. * pdldoc now searches your PDLLIB path for PDL::AutoLoader docs in addition to the pre-extracted documentation database. This makes pdldoc give the same output as the help command in the PDL shells. * Many updates and additions to the PDL documentation. * Devel::CheckLib is being used in more places during the PDL configuration stage. We plan to make this the standard baseline for dependency library detection going forwards. The included copy of Devel::CheckLib has been updated to 0.95. * A new unified implementation of barf()/warn() for PDL removes code duplication. barf() is now defined in both PDL::Core and the PDL packages. PDL::cluck is added as an analog of Carp::cluck (as PDL::barf is an analog of Carp::confess). barf() now generates its stack trace by hooking into Carp::confess on both the Perl and C sides. * Various fixes for PDL::Transform - fix inverse in perspective() - fix t_cubic() parameter parsing - fix handling of multiple PCi_j systems in the piddle header * Added SIGPIPE handlers to cases where PDL uses pipes to/from external processes (such as ffmpeg or some NetPBM image converter programs). This should make PDL "SIGPIPE safe" by not exiting when a PDL piped IO output process quits (e.g., as when called from within the perldl/pdl2 shell). v2.4.9 2011-04-09 10:05:43-04:00 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. v2.4.8 2011-03-29 17:12:41-04:00 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. v2.4.7 2010-08-18 20:55:52-04:00 General Notes: * New requirements: - perl version 5.8.x and higher - Convert::UU * PDL::Graphics::TriD now requires OpenGL-0.63 * New 2-D image display routine: imag2d() * pdl() constructor, a.k.a. PDL->new(), now takes string arguments with either MATLAB type concatenation syntax or PDL print output (for easier cut-and-paste from PDL shell sessions). * Improved text and comma separated value file input via rcols(): faster and more flexible. * A new PDL shell based on Devel::REPL (i.e., Moose technology). The new shell supports more perl syntax (lexical variables and packages), is more extensible (via a system of plugins), and supports many forms of file and variable completion. Install Devel::REPL and give it a try! User feedback welcome. * More portability (builds on more platforms with more features than ever). * Many bugs fixed... Highlights: * General OpenGL-0.63 is required for PDL::Graphics::TriD. Convert::UU is required for PDL. Karma is DEPRECATED and NOT SUPPORTED. Set USE_KARMA=>1 in perldl.conf to force a build. * New 2D Image Display Feature: imag2d() See PDL::Graphics2D for documentation. Add image pixel value display on mouse click in imag2d window Add keyboard command shortcuts for imag2d (with placeholders) Fix a number of imag2d() usabiilty bugs * pdl() Constructor Can Take String Input Allows use of MATLAB-style [ ; ] syntax Allows cut-and-paste of printed pdl values as input args for pdl() * rcols/wcols Improvements Much faster read times Multiple columns can read into a single pdl varible Symmetric handling of perl and pdl column data Improved format support for CSV file input * Enhanced PDL Shell (Version 2) Based on Devel::REPL which must be installed along with either Term::ReadLine::Perl or Term::ReadLine::Gnu to use the pdl2 features. Supports Term::ReadLine::Perl and Term::ReadLine::Gnu. Upward compatable with the original PDL shell, perldl. Adds completion and command line editing support across all PDL platforms. Adds support for current package and lexical variables. Toggle default print output via the do_print attribute. Default prompt for perldl and pdl2 is now 'pdl> ' help vars now shows results alphabetically pdl2 now runs (falls back to) perldl if Devel::REPL is not installed or if Term::ReadLine::(Perl|Gnu) is not installed. * Other Features Fix wmpeg() to use ffmpeg to generate the video (sf.net feature request #3010984). Added tiled compressed image handling to rfits Faster matrix multiply Preliminary support for ENVI file format data in PDL/IO/ENVI/readenvi.pdl * Build Improvements: PDL build process now detects multiple PDL installs and warns of possible conflicts. 'use PDL' now loads PDL::Config by default. PDL "as built" configuration is now saved to %PDL::Config Changes file is automatically updated each release Add SKIP_KNOWN_PROBLEMS support for build Add checks to prevent warnings from access to $HOME when it is not defined. * Portability Fixes Multiple build improvements for debian platforms Improved portability across perl and compiler versions Reduced number of fortran dependencies Improved support for win32 platforms - PDL::GIS::Proj builds for win32 - PDL::Transform::Proj4 builds for win32 - PDL::Graphics::PLplot builds for win32 - PDL::IO::Dumper builds for win32 * 3-D Graphics Improved PDL::Graphics::TriD demos and examples Fixed problems with VRML support for many platforms. Better dependency searches for OpenGL during PDL build Removed warnings "noise" when used with perl -w New spheres3d routine added to PDL::Graphics::TriD * Bugs Fixed Fix PDL::AutoLoader to handle win32 PDLLIB path syntax with ; as separator. Fix PDL::Complex::string and sum and sumover (sf.net bug #1176614) Fix PDL::Config does not match actual build configuration (sf.net bug #3030998). Fix dimension numbering in PDL::Transform::t_fits Fix jpegtopnm problem in proj_transform.t Fix rt.cpan.org bug #53815 in IO/HDF/SD/SD.pd Fix rt.cpan.org bug #59126 in isempty pod Fix sf.net bug #2901170 re overly verbose warnings when running TriD with perl -w Fix sf.net bug #3011143 re whitespace in perl path Fix sf.net bug #3021578 re missing xtra dummy dims Fix threading with lu_decomp and lu_backsub (sf.net bug #3021567) Fix uniq and uniqind NaN and BAD value handling (sf.net bug #3011659) Fix uniqvec bug where it did not return a 2-D result (sf.net bug #2978576) Fix uuencode/uudecode detection logic in PDL::IO::Dumper to include Convert::UU check Make PDL prompt/warn if space in build path (sf.net bug #2924854). Fix up code to not crash on non-lazy linking systems. Work arounds for perl-d lvalue temp bug introduced in recent perls. t/lvalue.t is skipped if run under the debugger. Fix format string attack errors in GSL, PGPLOT, and Transform. * Many Documentation Improvements Completely reworked PDL web site - Clearer and more helpful to new PDL users. - See http://pdl.perl.org for the latest! New documentation: - Migration guide for MATLAB users. - Migration guide for Scilab users. - Threading tutorial. Major reorganization of documentation to better help new users - A guide to PDL's tutorial documentation. - A guide to PDL's module reference documentation. - A study course through all of PDL's documentation. - Removed PDL::Intro POD cleanup across many PDL modules and functions. Update to copyright statements throughout PDL to clarify licenses. Improved on-line help and apropos features in the PDL shell Updated FAQ Improved POD to HTML translation DEPENDENCIES for PDL updated and checked for applicability. INSTALL guides improved in the distribution and on the web site. v2.4.6 2009-12-31 23:06:11-05:00 General Notes: * Mainly a bug fix and polishing release Highlights: * Improved 3D graphics and OpenGL functionality * imag2d() routine for multi-image (photo) display * Many fixes for Debian package release * Several little bugs fixed since PDL-2.4.5 * Fixed some issues with PDL convolution routines * Improved documentation and release notes and files * Padre and enhanced perldl shell integration begun Summary of Changes: * Improved 3D graphics and OpenGL functionality Perl OpenGL 0.62 is the minimum required version for PDL::Graphics::TriD to build. TriD now builds correctly for Mac OS X systems without X11 installed. Autoprobe for build of 3D graphics and the use of the Perl OpenGL library has been implemented. The default perldl.conf setting is to check. Improved multi-window support for PDL::Graphics::TriD display windows: the GLUT window ID is now part of the default window title for convenience, and redraws with multiple open TriD windows are handled correctly. * imag2d() routine for multi-image (photo) display REQUIRES: The Perl OpenGL TriD interface and FreeGLUT. IMPORTANT: Legacy X11 TriD is *not* supported! It is implemented in the imag2d.pdl file for autoloading via PDL::AutoLoader. To use, copy the imag2d.pdl file to somewhere in your PDLLIB path or add the location to your PDLLIB environment variable. It works with multiple, simultaneous, image windows and appears to work side-by-side with TriD graphics windows. After you have imag2d.pdl in your @PDLLIB list, you can use 'help imag2d' to get usage instructions and documentation. This implements the basic functionality planned regarding an improved imagrgb() routine. * Many fixes for Debian package release This should allow PDL-2.4.6 to be more readily released as a Debian packages. The general clean up involved improves PDL portability and robustness generally. * Several little bugs fixed since PDL-2.4.5 The number of history lines when you use Term::ReadLine::Perl with perldl are now set correctly to $PERLDL::HISTFILESIZE. The default value is 500. A number of minor internal fixes for portability and implementation improvements: - Add comment re fix for defined(%hash) usage - Fix annoying PGPLOT::HANDLE warning message - Replace GIMME by GIMME_V in Core.xs - Update to v3.14 of ppport.h portability Fixed MINUIT build problem where non-standard code was being generated which caused problems with rigorous compiler settings. This was SF bug #2524068. * Fixed a number of issues with PDL convolution routines conv1d() algorithm adjusted to match conv2D() and convolutionND(). Documentation on the exact computation being performed in conv1d() was added. Fixes bug #2630369 with fftconvolve(). It now gives the same results as conv1d(), conv2d(),.., except perhaps with respect to the boundary condition handling. * Improved documentation and release notes and files Updated PDL::FAQ. Lots of little changes to bring documentation in line with current PDL functionality. Volunteer editors and contributors always welcome! * Padre and enhanced perldl shell integration begun There is a new PDL-2.4.6/Padre/ subdirectory in the PDL source tree which contains work towards Padre integration and a 2nd generation, enhanced perldl shell for PDL. E.g. an *experimental* plug-in giving PDL::NiceSlice support to the Devel::REPL shell is included. See the Padre/README file for instructions to get you started. v2.4.5 2009-10-24 11:56:23-04:00 Highlights: * 3D graphics modules now run on win32 and Mac OS X systems without requiring X11 be installed. The only prerequisites are OpenGL and FreeGLUT/GLUT. * Release documentation and FAQ have been updated to be more useful (and more accurate). * PDL build, test, and run time diagnostic messages have been make clearer and more helpful. * Many bugs have been fixed since PDL-2.4.4 so this is the most reliable PDL ever. * PDL now requires perl 5.6.2 or greater and has updated DEPENDENCIES information and code. This should improve the buildability of PDL General Notes: This is the first PDL release supporting the new build strategy for the PDL::Graphics::TriD modules. The result is it now builds on more platforms than ever. You'll need to install the OpenGL module and have FreeGLUT or GLUT (for Mac OS X) on your system. If you have problems with the new TriD build (that you did not have before), edit perldl.conf and set USE_POGL to 0. That should enable you to build the legacy TriD code but you *will* want to submit a bug report, see the next point.... IMPORTANT: Given the increased portability and generality of the new TriD interface approach, it is expected that the legacy TriD build interface (based on X11) will be deprecated soon (almost immediately) and removed after that. (N.B. It has been effectively unsupported for some time) If you are new to PDL, we recommend joining the perldl mailing list for discussion and questions. See http://pdl.perl.org/?page=mailing-lists for how to sign up and links and searches of the list archive discussions. Summary of Changes: New perldl.conf configuration parameters controlling build of TriD with perl OpenGL (a.k.a. POGL) with the follow default values: USE_POGL: 1 -- build using POGL 0 -- build using legacy build process undef -- build with POGL if possible POGL_VERSION: 0.60 -- minimum required version of OpenGL POGL_WINDOW_TYPE: 'glut' -- use a GLUT GUI for window creation 'x11' -- use GLX and X11 for the GUI (this is a "compatibility mode" to support PDL::Graphics::TriD::Tk widgets) NOTE: Set WITH_3D => 0 in perldl.conf to disable the TriD build completely. Just setting USE_POGL => 0 is not enough. The OpenGL tests in t/opengl.t now respects the interactive setting from the PDL_INT environment variable. Two TriD check programs, 3dtest.pl and line3d.pl, are added to the main PDL build directory. They can be run as quick checks of the new functionality and are short enough run under the perl debugger if needed. e.g. perl -Mblib 3dtest.pl OR perl -Mblib line3d.pl OpenGL (a.k.a. GL) is the default TriD output device on all platforms. VRML does not work at the moment. GLpic is not tested but may work. Closed SF bug #1476324 by adding FAQ entry on clean installs Fix qsorti(null()) crash bug from SF bug #2110074. Make qsorti() return quietly when given a null() piddle input Fix broken PP typemap finding code, thanks to CS for the final code and many testers! Fix t/autoload.t tilde expansion bugs and test failures. tilde expansion seems to work consistently with bash now Partial fix implemented for PDL::IO::Browser. The code has only been tested with cygwin but it should work on systems with ncurses in the "right place". This is **not tested** but set WITH_IO_BROWSER => 1 if you wish to try. If the perldl shell is unable to load PDL for some reason and defaults to basic perl support, the prompt now changes to perl> reflecting that fact. readflex() now works with File::LinearRaid. Many win32 fixes to tests and build process which make things work more smoothly on win32 platforms. See the Changes file or run 'git log --stat' for the detailed list of changes. v2.4.4 2008-11-12 19:16:53-10:00 General Notes: - Bad value support is now enabled by default for PDL builds. This feature allows simpler handling of missing or invalid data during processing. For example, missing pixels could be interpolated across. Calculations could be skipped for missing data points... Edit the perldl.conf file to turn off bad value support before compiling if needed. - This release includes significant improvments in portability, enhancements in functionality, and *many* bugs fixed. - PDL::Graphics::TriD modules for 3-D and image visualization are being refactored for improved portability and performance. Preliminary hooks are in PDL-2.4.4 to support the new functionality. Announcements to the perldl mailing list will be made when the PDL::Graphics::OpenGL::Perl and Term::ReadLine::FreeGLUT suport is on CPAN. - Builds out-of-the-box on cygwin and win32 - perl 5.6.x is explicitly required to configure and will go away in future versions. 5.8.x and above are the recommended versions Summary of Changes: - Improve uuencode support in Dumper for additional OSes such as *BSD varieties that may need additional options to prevent stripping of the leading slash in pathnames including: darwin, netbsd, openbsd, freebsd, and dragonfly. - Updated more PDL tests to use the recommended Test::More - Updated PDL::Graphics::PLplot build support for more 5.9.0 specific features - AutoLoader ~ expansion has been updated to conform more closely to the ~ expansion in the bash shell - Better checks for a valid PROJ4 build environment are now performed before attempting to compile PDL modules using it - PDL now builds and runs on perl-5.10.x - The perldl shell has added support for using FreeGLUT for display in analogy with the existing Tk event loop support. This enables refactoring of the TriD modules to use the Perl OpenGL module (a.k.a. POGL) instead of the internal, and deprecated, PDL::Graphics::OpenGL et. al. - The perldl acquire/filter/execute loop is now $_-safe by using $lines instead of $_ for all the central modifications. Avoids problems with some AUTOLOAD functions that leaked $_. - Removed ExtUtils::F77 from the required prerequisites for PDL to improve the buildability on platforms without an available fortran compiler. If you have a fortran compiler and EU::F77 installed, PDL::Slatec will be built. - zeros function added as an alias for the zeroes function - Many warning messages that were not actually problems have been quieted, especially many pointer to int conversion messages - Added $PERLDL::HISTFILESIZE to allow configuration of the number of lines of history to be saved by the interactive PDL shell. - Fixed implementation of the pctover() function to address bug #2019651 on sf.net. Added explicit documentation in the code on the algorithm being used. - Various updates to the PDL FAQ - Implemented a PDL interface to the Minuit minimization library from CERN - Removed circular dependency in PDL Makefile.PL Makefile generation process which caused builds with some versions of make to fail - Multiple fixes to enhance configuration and build for win32 - Added basic table-inversion to t_lookup for PDL::Transform - Fixed problem in uniqvec() where it failed to generate a correct result if all the input vectors were the same, fixed bug #1869760 - Add improved 16-bit image support for IO with rpic() and wpic() provided you have a recent version of the NetPBM library that supports 16-bit images - Enabled building of GSL on Win32. v2.4.3 2006-08-20 06:07:30-10:00 General Notes: - again, mainly a bugfix and polishing release. - builds out-of-the-box on cygwin and win32 build environment has been significantly improved - perl 5.6.x is now deprecated; 5.8.x is recommended. Support for 5.6.x may go away in future versions. Summary of Changes: - PDL now builds under cygwin on windows PC including TriD(OpenGL) 3D graphics and PGPLOT and PLplot 2D graphics support. See PDL/cygwin/ and files README and INSTALL for details and how to build/install external dependencies. - The win32 build has been improved. See PDL/win32/INSTALL for details. - Many fixes from the Debian build patches have been incorporated. See PDL/debian for specifics. - 64bit platform build has been improved. - New functionality, functions and modules: * Bad value support has been extended to per-PDL bad values as an experimental feature. To use, configure WITH_BADVAL => 1 and BADVAL_PER_PDL => 1 in perldl.conf before building. * PDL::GSL::INTEG now supports the calculation of nested integrals * New function tcircle (threaded circle) added to PDL::Graphics::PGPLOT This draws multiple circles in one go (see also tpoints and tline) * Added set operation routines for pdls treated as sets (help setops). * PDL::IO::GD module interface to the GD runtime image libaray (http://www.boutell.com/gd/) has been integrated. * The PDL::GIS::Proj and PDL::Transform::Proj4 modules to interface to the PROJ4 Cartographic Projections Library (http://proj.maptools.org/) have been added. * PDL::IO::HDF provides an interface to the HDF4 library (http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/). - The PDL test suite (i.e. tests in in PDL/t) has been enhanced. Coverage has improved and output diagnostic messages are more useful. Test::More is becoming the preferred test module. The vanilla Test and Test::Simple may be deprecated in the future. - PDL core code has been fixed to address valgrind-detected errors and to enable better bad value support including the new experimental per-PDL bad values. These changes will require a re-build/install of any external modules using the C interface of PDL. See perldl.conf to configure the new bad value support. - Several TriD graphics build problems have been resolved. The TriD rotation bug has been fixed. - Many other bug fixes too numerous to mention. See the PDL/Changes file for details. - Multiple fixes and additions to PDL documentation as well as the PDL::FAQ.
