Changes for version 2.2
- John Cerney (20/12/00)
- Minor changes to Makefile.PL and Reduce.pm for compatibility with perl 5.005
- John Cerney (6/12/00)
- Added new curve fitting routine: Linfit. Finds a linear-combination of specified functions that best fits data. (Similar to Polynomial.pm)
- Marc Lehmann (5/!2/00)
- Don't add artificial newlines in PdlParObj.pm, you never know what the surrounding code might look like. Makes PDL compile with perl-5.7 again.
- John Cerney (5/12/00)
- Updated log10 in ops.pd to have consistent copy behavior for subclassed objects as discussed in Objects.pod.
- Expanded the tests in t/subclass4.t to test for log10 and other simple functions.
- CS - added some features to dice Doug Burke
- rcols(): do not read an extra line with LINES option (Frank Samuelson)
- added draw_wedge() (& DrawWedge option to imag()) to PGPLOT
- CS - fix call of Perl_croak in pdlthread.c for threading perls (reported by Diab Jerius) Doug Burke (03/11/00)
- removed $_ from shorttype method: fixes $_->info() bug
- perldl/pdldoc now list other matches to a help query (not wonderful)
- fixed 0.5 pixel shift in imag()
- CS - fix bug in splitdim (didn't check nthdim) that can lead to coredumps
- Dev.pm: malloc debugging support
- Core.pm.PL: flat as clump(-1) alias bug in mslice: cast indices to int added
- Jarle Brinchmann (22/10/00)
- Further bug fixes to PGPLOT added (courtesy of Kaj Wiik). Also a convenience function to calculate transforms (transform, courtesy of Kaj Wiik).
- Examples/tests for the PGPLOT interface added in Example/PGPLOT
- Jarle Brinchmann (21/10/00)
- Considerable re-write of PGPLOT. This now uses PDL::Option to set options. There is also now a OO interface PDL::Graphics::PGPLOT::Window which PDL::Graphics::PGPLOT now uses.
- New functionality includes:
- Interactive cursors (cursor)
- Text on plots (text)
- Legends (legend)
- Circles, Rectangles, Ellipses
- Multiple plot windows, oone can jump from panel to panel when the window is divided in several.
- More control over options - see PDL::Graphics::PGPLOTOptions for details.
- This is not tested under Windows - and possibly not all functions work as they used to..
- Doug Burke (18/10/00)
- added warp2d (+ supporting fns) to PDL::Image2D. This allows images to be resampled using 2D polynomials as basis functions.
- (19/10/00) bug fixes & clean up of documentation for above
- rfits() now sets hdrcpy flag of piddle (so that the FITS header is copied to new piddles).
- Doug Burke
- moved PDL::Type object from PDL::Core to PDL::Types. This shouldn't affect most people.
- CS
- split primitive.pd into primitive.pd and ufunc stuff (ufunc.pd)
- changed loaders to reflect this split (PDL.pm, Lite.pm, LiteF.pm)
- moved 'assgn' to PDL::Ops (since it's primarily used for overloading '.=')
- added conv1d to primitive.pd -> this one was dropped from the dist at some stage but it makes sense to have it
- Pic.pm: print conversion message only when debugging
- fixed a problem with TriD: APIENTRY not defined when processing glu.h (since include files are ignored)
- added sever docs
- a reduce function for PDL (Reduce.pm)
- percentile projections patch applied to primitive.pd
- fix some thread_define problems
- Doug Burke
- improved support for bad values in r/wfits and r/wndf
- added setbadtonan() to PDL::Bad.
- moved log10() entirely over to Basic/Ops/ops.pd (so it's no longer defined in PDL::Core.
- CS
- moved trylink to Dev.pm (L<PDL::Core::Dev>)
- modified Graphics/Makefile.PL accordingly
- Doug Burke
- cleaned up endian support. Threw out my check_endian stuff since perl already knows - there's a isbigendian fn in Dev.pm (eg see IO/Misc/misc.pd)
- added setvaltobad() and setnantobad() to PDL::Bad, renamed replacebad() to setbadtoval() (perhaps should keep it as an alias?) setnantobad doesn't work (yet) if $PDL::Bad::UseNaN == 1
- CS
- added Matrix.pm (suggestion by Stephan Heuel)
- Core.xs.PL: getdim, at and set now support the 'infinite dim' piddle behaviour discussed on pdl-porters
- perldl: $bflag incorrect due to low 'and' precendence
- PDL.pm: the version was still far behind ;-(
- Basic.pm: PDL->null breaks inheritance
- Core.pm.PL: allow <2D piddles as arguments in creating functions (not yet reflected in the docs). Another step on the way to improve the balancing act between scalar and 1D piddles and normal perl scalars
- Core.xs.PL, pdlcore.h.PL: PDL.malloc -> PDL.smalloc renamed
- Core/Makefile.PL: endian stuff only when WITH_BADVAL (reduce likelihood of build problems); don't assume that '.' is in the PATH (good distributions like DEBIAN avoid that ;)
- Doc/Perldl.pm: new (undocumented) aproposover function -- do your own thing with returned matches
- karma.pd: PDL->malloc -> PDL->smalloc
- Doug Burke (09/06/00-09/07/00)
- Core and pdl_trans structure are now the same, whatever the choice of WITH_BADVAL and BADVAL_USENAN. The version number of the core has been bumped to 2 (removing the need for Christian's recent patch) since this is binary incompatible with PDL 2.1.1
- clean up of build process - both because of above change and also to stop problems when switching between WITH_BADVAL = 1 and 0.
- exported several routines in PDL::Bad
- Jim Edwards
- improved OpenGL detection during 'perl Makefile.PL'
- Doug Burke (09/05/00)
- minor clean-up to the build process. Now creates Basic/Core/badsupport.p in top-level Makefile.PL for when PDL::Config hasn't been created - fixes setting BADVAL options in ~/perldl.conf
- Doug Burke
- Bad value support integrated into the main branch. Set WITH_BADVAL to 1 in perldl.conf to use. See Basic/BadValues.pod for more information and try the two demos (demo bad, bad2). Many of the internals have been tweaked (eg many more files are created at compile time in Basic/Core - including Dev.pm; m51.fits is now installed for the bad2 demo ...)
- Basic/Core now contains isbigendian.p - this is created at compile time. IO::Misc::isbigendian uses this.
- IO::NDF now saves byte piddles as "_UBYTE", rather than "_BYTE", NDFs
- log10 is now in Ops (using C-library version), although a version is left in Core.pm.PL so that log10(2.3) returns a perl scalar, not a 0D piddle
- removed 1-argument form of where() since been deprecated long enough
- Jim Edwards
- swcols added to IO::Misc - like wcols but to a string, not a file
- Jim Edwards (08/25/00)
- minor bugfix in TriD contour3d
- added Labels to TriD contour3d options
- Doug Burke (08/12/00-08/13/00; 08/17/00)
- minor bugfix to Graphics/Karma/Makefile.PL
- made qsort and qsort_ind C routines in primitive.pd available to all modules via the PDL Core structure (pdlcore.h is now created by pdlcore.h.PL) and updated image2d.pd to use this (+ bug fix to patch2d)
- added double precision versions of sum, sumover, cumusumover (same for prod) and average (eg dsum, daverage). Added prodover routine Changed stats to use this (+ changed PDL::Tests to avoid name clashes)
- revamped Types.pm.PL
- made Inplace option for pp_def a bit more sensible
- marked several functions in math.pd as inplace (needs documenting)
- fixed rndf() so that can use rndf('../bob')
- Jim Edwards (08/08/00)
- Major changes to the TriD code (requires perl 5.6.0)
- Doug Burke (08/02/00)
- 'bool' to 'boolvar' in cpoly.c to get it to compile under Linux
- added 'Inplace' rule to PP.pm to flag a routine as inplace (see ops.pd)
- minor improvement to PP output if $::PP_VERBOSE is set
- CS - ops.pd: fix inplace problem (reported by Tim Conrow) Doug Burke (07/27/00)
- some minor changes to PP.pm & PDLCode.pm (no longer generates 'THISISxxx' macros in xs code unless they're required.
- CS - PP: don't use copy method when HASP2Child
- Makefile.PL: no .3 manpages
- CS - Core: pdl.h dependencies
- pdlapi.c: comments and debugging
- ops.pd: docs fixes
- PGPLtw.pd: doc fOT_demo: choose /GW on MSwin32
- mkpdlfuncpod: some experimentation
- Karma/Makefile.PL: malloc debugging support
- CallExt/Makefile.PL: malloc debugging support
- fftw.pd: doc fixes, exports and convolution
- slatec: error handler now calls croak (instead of being fatal)
- VRML: fix problem with prototype registration
- Doug Burke (7/02/00 - 7/9/00)
- stopped some excess code generation & improve legibility of some code in Basic/Gen/PP.pm and Basic/Gen/PP/PdlParObj.pm
- minor doc cleanup in Graphics/TriD/Rout/rout.pd (lack of head3 in pod)
- added a test to t/hdrs.t to pick up a bug I'd introduced
- replaced Basic/Core/mkpdlconv.p by Basic/Core/pdlconv.c.PL, removed mention of pdlbasicops in Basic/Core/Makefile.PL
- Tim Jenness (6/30/00)
- PDL::CallExt now works on WinNT with VC++
- Doug Burke (6/29/00)
- added methods to PDL::Type - enum, symbol, ctype, ppsym, realctype and shortctype - which provide access to information in PDL::Types eg print byte->ctype prints "PDL_Byte". Changed info in Core and rcols in IO/Misc to use these methods. Currently un-documented.
- Tim Jenness (6/28/00)
- miscellaneous patches for Win32 support Make Callext.pm and callext.t more generic Lib/Image2D check for presence of rint() Add ABSTRACT and AUTHOR to top level Makefile.PL
- conv.t now uses the Test module
- Doug Burke (6/21/00; 6/22/00)
- mkhtmldoc.pl should now handle links to scripts in Index.pod for perl < 5.6.0. Removed link hacking for perl >= 5.6.0.
