Revision history for Perl extension Math::Random.
0.61 Wed May 19 07:55:53 1999
- Added a space to the translation table in phrtsd.
- Cosmetic changes to bring this module into line with other
Perl modules: added test.pl, Changes, MANIFEST, README;
corrected some spelling, used "make dist", and so on.
- Geoffrey Rommel
0.62 Wed Aug 22 09:30:14 2001
- In com.c and randlib.c, changed the Fortran-style labels
and goto's in certain functions to proper {} blocks. (For
this I consulted the original L'Ecuyer/Cote paper.)
- Changed all floats to doubles.
- Increased the precision of many literals in accordance with
the original papers (e.g. 1/M1 in ranf, log 4 in genbet,
and so on).
- Corrected one test in test.pl.
0.63 Wed Sep 5 09:31:04 2001
- Modified Makefile.PL to see whether Perl is using sv_yes
or PL_sv_yes and adjust things automatically.
0.64 Thu Dec 6 13:26:03 2001
- Rebuilt using h2xs 1.18 and a vanilla .xs file rather than
a SWIG wrapper file. This is more Perlish and will get
around a reported problem with 'na' and 'sv_yes' in the
wrapper.c file.
0.65 Wed May 1 08:55:30 2002
- Add helper.h so that XS recognizes the return value of
gvprfw(). Thanks to Stephan Heuel for noticing and
correcting this problem.
0.66 Fri Jun 7 12:17:36 2002
- The test for random_multivariate_normal displayed an odd
error message on some systems but not others. This has
been corrected. The problem was noted by the CPAN-testers,
Maynard Brandsma, and Nat Goodman.
0.67 Fri Mar 14 13:57:16 2003
- Corrected an interface error in getsd and phrtsd. Noted by
Eric Moore.
0.68 Fri Jun 30 12:17:01 2006
- Added a new version of phrtsd and the phrtsd_orig option.
0.69 Tue Sep 12 08:55:10 2006
- Changed pow to exp at randlib.c[1040] to get around a bug
with gcc under AIX. (Would it also be possible to avoid
this by using -lmsaa rather than -lm?)
0.70 Fri Oct 12 16:30:18 2007
- Minor corrections to POD.
0.71 Tue Sep 16 15:38:06 2008
- Used $ARGV[0] rather than shift in Makefile.PL. Thanks to John
Fong for the correction.
0.72 Sat Aug 29 21:51:19 2015
- The random seed was based on time of day and was a bit too
predictable. Applying patch provided by Jonathan Yu:
