Octave 2.1.52 is now available for ftp from ftp.octave.org in the
directory /pub/octave/bleeding-edge:

  -rw-r--r--  1 103  4899742 Nov 25 15:41 octave-2.1.52.tar.gz
  -rw-r--r--  1 103  3869247 Nov 25 15:41 octave-2.1.52.tar.bz2
  -rw-r--r--  1 103   103270 Nov 25 16:17 octave-2.1.51-2.1.52.patch.gz
  -rw-r--r--  1 103    72936 Nov 25 16:17 octave-2.1.51-2.1.52.patch.bz2

This version should fix most of the bugs reported since 2.1.51.  N-d
array handling is better.  Function handles may now be N-d.  There is
a new (N-d, if it matters) stream offset type that is not limited to
the size of "long int".

There are still some significant features related to N-d arrays that
need to be implemented.  For example, the [] operator will fail to
concatenate N-d arrays, but we hope to fix this for 2.1.53.  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.  Patches are also welcome.

As always, if your favorite bug is still not fixed, please report it.

Also, 2.1.50 is still the recommended version, but this one should be
much better than 2.1.51.

Thanks,

jwe
