Octave 2.1.51 is now available for ftp from ftp.octave.org in the
directory /pub/octave/bleeding-edge:
-rw-r--r-- 1 103 4888529 Nov 16 00:37 octave-2.1.51.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 103 3865822 Nov 16 00:37 octave-2.1.51.tar.bz2
-rw-r--r-- 1 103 277494 Nov 16 00:47 octave-2.1.50-2.1.51.patch.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 103 222150 Nov 16 00:47 octave-2.1.50-2.1.51.patch.bz2
This version has many new features and bug fixes. The biggest change
is that N-d arrays (for numbers, structs, and cells) are mostly
working, though there are some significant features that still need to
be implemented. For example, the [] operator will fail to concatenate
N-d arrays, but we hope to fix this for 2.1.52. If you find that
another of your favorite N-d array operations doesn't work, please
mention it so we can have some idea of what features are missed the
most.
The following built-in preference variables have also been removed in
favor of always behaving in Matlab-compatible ways:
default_eval_print_flag
default_return_value
define_all_return_values
do_fortran_indexing
empty_list_elements_ok
implicit_num_to_str_ok
implicit_str_to_num_ok
ok_to_lose_imaginary_part
prefer_column_vectors
propagate_empty_matrices
resize_on_range_error
return_last_computed_value
treat_neg_dim_as_zero
whitespace_in_literal_matrix
The following built-in variables have been added to allow control over
warnings about some of the features that were previously controlled by
the deleted built-in variables:
warn_empty_list_elements
warn_fortran_indexing
warn_imag_to_real
warn_neg_dim_as_zero
warn_num_to_str
warn_resize_on_range_error
warn_str_to_num
But regardless of the settings of these variables, the behavior is
always supposed to be Matlab compatible now.
As always, if your favorite bug is still not fixed, please let me know
about it.
Thanks,
jwe
