Release Notes for PDL 2.4.11 -----------------------------
5
* This is a point release of PDL to support the coming perl
8
+---------------------------------------------------------------+
9
| BE WARNED: This release includes an update to the internal, |
10
| C-level PDL API and will require that you re-build any PP or |
11
| XS modules. Do not upgrade or install over an existing PDL |
12
| installation unless you are prepared to do so!!! |
13
+---------------------------------------------------------------+
18
* A new implementation mapflex and mapfraw routines provides
19
memory-mapped IO for all platforms including win32 systems.
21
* The new memory mapped IO support is implemented using
22
File::Map so version 0.47 has been added as a required
23
dependency to force automated testing so an automated build
24
will need this dependency installed.
26
NOTE: For systems having POSIX mmap, a manual build of
27
PDL will automatically use the legacy implementation.
29
* Various cleanup to existing code to fix warnings generated
30
by perl versions 5.15.x and higher.
32
Remove deprecation warning in PGPLOT/Window/Window.pm
33
complex.pd - fix attempts to overload '<=>=' and '=>'
37
3518253 Make PDL::flat work under perl 5.16 (thanks sprout!)
38
3516600 pdl_from_string.t fails w/ BADVAL_USENAN=1
39
3487569 PDL::IO::Misc : rcols problem (thanks bperret!)
40
3476648 PDL build of HTML docs fails on recent bleed Perl
44
Fix check for glutRunning logic for imag2d
45
Fixed a bug in cat's error reporting.
46
Added lvalue awareness to whereND
48
* New and improved tests have been added to the test suite.
50
Tests t/gd_oo_tests.t and t/inline-comment-test.t are
51
skipped for BSD platforms (see sf.net bugs #3518190 and
52
#3524081 to track their issues).
54
* New support for multi-line comments in PP code. See docs for
55
PDL::PP for details (e.g., pdldoc PP).
57
* Various enhancements to barf/croak output and messages to make
58
error reports and stack traces more useful and readable.
60
* There is a new changes (or Changes) target for the PDL Makefile
61
which is a convenience target that allows one to regenerate the
62
Changes file from git.

260
should work for all platforms having File::Map version 0.47
261
or later installed. This new implementation should work
262
for both 32-bit and 64-bit perls as well as with 64-bit file
263
offsets. Please test and report.
