Revision history for Perl extension Math::Random::MT::Perl. 1.00 Tue May 20 17:03:16 2008 - original version; created by h2xs 1.23 with options -AX Math::Random::MT::Perl 1.01 Thur May 22 2008 - implemented array of seeds to complete compatability with C version - added script validate.pl to /t which "proves" output identical to C where proves means produces the same output over > 10e8 runs - added extra test to 5.t that demonstrated an issue with array laver 1.02 Fri May 23 2008 - implemented & 0xffffffff where required to constrain integers to 32 bits on 64 bit systems. thanks to almut from perlmonks for the testing and the solution. 1.03 Sat May 24 2008 - patched test files to limit floating point to 12 sig figures and avoid spurious test failures on 64 bit systems which return longer floating point numbers that 32 bit builds (18 digits vs 15).with underlying integers from 0..2**32-1 there are actually only 10 sig figs. - reversed the ok(expected,got) test format acquired from Math::Random::MTto the correct ok(got,expected) order so the test failures read correctly. 1.04 Sat May 24 2008 - are we there yet? apparently not. fix breakage on BSD with perl 5.005 where use of "our" is deprecated caused total failure. - minor documentation fixes - added benchmark.pl to validate.pl in /t for comparing performance to Math::Random::MT. you can only run them if you can install both versions and if you can do that you don't really need this module! 1.05 Tues June 3 2008 - new build process mostly kwalitee specified test metrics and fixes 1.06 Fri Sep 4 2009 - added ability to automatically and rapidly generate different seeds and return it to allow the generation of identical random number series 1.07 Thu Jan 19 2012 - synchronised the autoseeding mechanism with that of Math::Random::MT 1.08 Mon May 28 2012 - synchronised the autoseeding mechanism with that of Math::Random::MT that is more elegant and reliable on different platforms
