New release of Octave-forge packages

[Søren Hauberg]

Dear All

I've just made a release of the Octave-Forge packages. It has been quite
a while since the last release, so way too many things have changes for
me to provide a proper summary. I can mention that the following things
have changed

      * image: removel of imread and imwrite as they have been moved to
        core Octave. New functions: entropyfilt, ordfiltn, rangefilt,
        stdfilt
              * control: include functions previously shipped with core
                Octave.
              * finance: include functions previously shipped with core
                Octave.
              * general: include a parallel version of cellfun:
                parcellfun.
              * nnet: new functions: dividerand, ind2vec, mapstd,
                vec2ind.
              * nan: support complex data.
              * new packages: nurbs, oct2mat, bugfix, simp, quaternion.
              * general bug fixes and improvements all over the place.

The packages have been checked against the development version of
Octave. Thus, some packages will require 3.1.55 or later function
properly. That being said, must packages should work on 3.0.x releases
as well.

Hope you enjoy. If you find bugs, please report them to
