CHANGES v2.11 released Sep 11th, 1998 -------------------------------------- * Added support for PGPLOT_DIR in Makefile.PL, updated HELP. * Mentioned 'perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=...' in README. * More HELP stuff. * ExtUtils::F77 v1.08 CHANGES v2.10 released May 21st, 1998. -------------------------------------- * Various changes to ExtUtils::F77 q.v. CHANGES v2.09 released 17/Feb/98 -------------------------------- * Documented xubpp problem in HELP because I got fed uo with waiting for p5p to fix. No other changes. CHANGES v2.08 released 8/Jan/98 ------------------------------- * Added improved -lgcc support. * PGPLOT version check in test12.p CHANGES (v2.06 to 2.07) ------------------------ * Added support for new functions in PGPLOT 5.2.0 library. Note: TK driver looks nice but haven't yet implemented this in perl version. Presumably can be done with perl/Tk. * Extra test12.p for new routines * No longer supporting binary versions in any shape or form. Life is too short. Get a FORTRAN compiler. :-) * Added -lgcc for gcc built perls in ExtUtils::F77 CHANGES (v2.02 to 2.06) ------------------------ (OK I know I should have been more organised about updating this file!) * Important bug fixes to array packing code which is now called arrays.{c,h} * Added fake MAIN__ symbol to stop annoying bug reports about some versions of gcc. :-) * arrays.c now supports unsigned chars and shorts. (Thanks Tim!) * Additions to HELP and documentation * Patches to improve ExtUtils::F77 * Improvements to tests * pgcompatibilty.p (NOT INSTALLED!) defines simple compatibilty routines for perl4 pgperl version. This had some gnarly single point versions of routines which are now superfluous. CHANGES (v2.02 from 2.01) ------------------------- o Made Makefile.PL more clever. o Added a file HELP with useful problem fixing information. o Fixed some small type cast bugs in kgbpack.c CHANGES (v2.01 from 1.0b) ------------------------- o No longer providing perl4 version. o All the array packing functions reimplemented in C to improve speed and robustness. o Simplified build procedure - PGPLOT module should now build in standard Perl way. (i.e. 'perl Makefile.PL; make; make test; make install'). Makefile.PL should not have to be edited and upgrading should now be much easier. o Added 'pass by reference' convention to allow explicit use of pre-packed binary data. o Supports pgplot routines up to pgplot v5.1.1. o Added POD documentation. o FORTRAN link support is now via ExtUtils::F77 module (included). o Now providing binaries of pgplot libraries for various architectures rather than statically-linked module binaries. This should make upgrading easier. o Removed special one-point routine versions (hang-over from perl4 version). o Removed pgplot.pl (again a hang-over from old perl4 version). o General tidy up and reorganisation of distribution
