interval 1.1.0 released

[Carnë Draug]

Hi everyone

a new release of the interval package [1] is out, version 1.1.0, by Oliver
Heimlich .  A summary of important user-visible changes is also available
online [2].

The interval package for real-valued interval arithmetic allows to
evaluate functions over subsets of their domain.  All results are verified,
because interval computations automatically keep track of any errors.

These concepts can be used to handle uncertainties, estimate arithmetic errors
and produce reliable results.  Also it can be applied to computer-assisted
proofs, constraint programming, and verified computing.

The implementation is based on interval boundaries represented by binary64
numbers and is conforming to IEEE Std 1788-2015, IEEE standard for interval
arithmetic.

Enjoy Octave responsibly,
Carnë
