PDL 2.062 has just been released. Notable changes since 2.059:

• Fixes for log10 with “tgmath”
• Native-complex ->re and ->im now do two-way dataflow
• The random-number functions now use xoroshiro256+ rather than the almost-always worse (and thread-unsafe) libc analogues; they can now also pthread

Future plans, in no particular order:

• finish the independent C interface for making PDL usable from e.g. Python
• more pervasive use of e.g. BLAS/LAPACK routines if available
• use OpenCL or other means to also utilise GPUs if available
• “loop fusion” techniques to maximise locality of computation, minimising data’s trips through the “straw” between CPU and main RAM

The IRC channel (#pdl on irc.perl.org) is a great virtual place to come and ask questions, or just watch the GitHub messages flow by.
