General Notes:

* TBD
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.
