Release notes for PDL 2.3 -------------------------------
Summary of Changes
- A nicer slicing syntax for PDL added via the new
PDL::NiceSlice module.
- Inline::Pdlpp module added, which enables in-line
PDL::PP definitions. (i.e. no Makefiles, building
hassles for creating PP code)
- A Multitude of bug fixes, doc updates, and other
changes.
Note:Support for perl version 5.005 and previous is
limited in this release. Perl 5.6.0 or greater is
recommended for full PDL functionality.
See the Changes file for a detailed list of changes.

axis). Added bad-value support to centroid2d and max2d_ind
DJB (8/May/01)
- OpenBSD doesn't seem to have values.h, which causes Basic/Math to fail:
see http://testers.cpan.org/search?request=dist&dist=PDL#2.2.1

on solaris and i386-linux.
