NAME¶
PDL::Delta - PDL changes between V1.0 and V2.0
DESCRIPTION¶
This file is an attempt to list the major user-visible changes between PDL versions 1.0 and 2.0.
Core Changes¶
ndarrays are not hashes any more:¶
$x = zeroes 10,10; $$x{FOO} = "bar"
doesn't work. They are currently scalar references (to opaque C structures in finer terms) because of speed as well as syntactic issues. If you want to have a hash, use
$x->hdr()
which returns a reference to an anonymous hash. Also, subclassing works if you store an ndarray in the hash member ``PDL''.
There are also many core enhancements to support Dataflow and Slicing tricks, but these do not introduce any incompatibilities.
Incompatible Changes vs 1.11¶
- rgrep
- Order of the arguments has changed.
- copy method
- No longer copies the header. This may not be a misfeature.
Documentation Changes¶
Many of the base and library pods were updated.
