Abstract: |
On behalf of the GDL team, we announce the 0.9.9 release of GDL, the
GNU Data Language. GDL is a free and open-source drop-in replacement
for IDL, the Interactive Data Language, which has served the
astronomical community for many years. This release comes 15 years
after Marc Schellens first made GDL public, and it marks several
milestones attesting to the maturity of the project. Among these are
updates to the plotting functionalities, major advances in the Windows
implementation, a native support for IDL save files, and performance
improvements.
The presentation will summarize current availability of packaged
versions of GDL, compatibility with popular IDL-written
astronomy-related software, potential directions for the upcoming
releases, and the key areas where GDL could benefit from further user
feedback and new contributions. |
