x' gives you complex conjugate transpose of a matrix where as x.' gives you 
only transpose of a matrix. you can observe this only for complex matrices.
For real matrices both x' and x.' gives you same results.

octave:1> a=[1+2i 3-4i;2+3i 8-5i]
a =

  1 + 2i  3 - 4i
  2 + 3i  8 - 5i

octave:2> a'
ans =

  1 - 2i  2 - 3i
  3 + 4i  8 + 5i

octave:3> a.'
ans =

  1 + 2i  2 + 3i
  3 - 4i  8 - 5i

octave:4>
