579 |
10118 | 580 ** The `lookup' function was extended to be more useful for |
581 general-purpose binary searching. Using this improvement, the | |
582 ismember function was rewritten for significantly better | |
583 performance. | |
9352 | 584 |
585 ** Real, integer and logical matrices, when used in indexing, will now | |
586 cache the internal index_vector value (zero-based indices) when | |
587 successfully used as indices, eliminating the conversion penalty for | |
10118 | 588 subsequent indexing by the same matrix. In particular, this means it |
589 is no longer needed to avoid repeated indexing by logical arrays | |
590 using find for performance reasons. | |
9888 | 591 |
10118 | 592 ** Logical matrices are now treated more efficiently when used as |
593 indices. Octave will keep the index as a logical mask unless the | |
594 ratio of true elements is small enough, using a specialized | |
595 code. Previously, all logical matrices were always first converted | |
596 to index vectors. This results in savings in both memory and | |
597 computing time. | |
9480 | 598 |
10118 | 599 ** The `sub2ind' and `ind2sub' functions were reimplemented as compiled |
600 functions for better performance. These functions are now faster, | |
601 can deliver more economized results for ranges, and can reuse the | |
602 index cache mechanism described in previous paragraph. | |
603 | |
604 ** The built-in function equivalents to associative operators (`plus', | |
605 `times', `mtimes', `and', and `or') have been extended to accept | |
606 multiple arguments. This is especially useful for summing | |
607 (multiplying, etc.) lists of objects (of possibly distinct types): | |
9408 | 608 |
9449 | 609 matrix_sum = plus (matrix_list{:}); |
610 | |
10118 | 611 ** An FTP object type based on libcurl has been implemented. These |
612 objects allow ftp connections, downloads and uploads to be | |
613 managed. For example, | |
9880 | 614 |
10118 | 615 fp = ftp ("ftp.octave.org); |
616 cd (fp, "gnu/octave"); | |
617 mget (fp, "octave-3.2.3.tar.bz2"); | |
618 close (fp); | |
9880 | 619 |
10118 | 620 ** The default behavior of `assert (observed, expected)' has been |
621 relaxed to employ less strict checking that does not require the | |
622 internals of the values to match. This avoids previously valid | |
623 tests from breaking due to new internal classes introduced in future | |
624 Octave versions. | |
9449 | 625 |
626 For instance, all of these assertions were true in Octave 3.0.x | |
627 but false in 3.2.x due to new optimizations and improvements: | |
628 | |
629 assert (2*linspace (1, 5, 5), 2*(1:5)) | |
630 assert (zeros (0, 0), []) | |
631 assert (2*ones (1, 5), (2) (ones (1,5))) | |
9462 | 632 |
10118 | 633 ** The behavior of library functions `ismatrix', `issquare', and |
634 `issymmetric' has been changed for better consistency. | |
9873 | 635 |
10292 | 636 * The `ismatrix' function now returns true for all numeric, |

637 logical and character 2-D or N-D matrices. Previously, `ismatrix' |
10292 | 638 returned false if the first or second dimension was zero. |
639 Hence, `ismatrix ([])' was false, | |
640 while `ismatrix (zeros (1,2,0))' was true. | |
9873 | 641 |
10118 | 642 * The `issquare' function now returns a logical scalar, and is |
643 equivalent to the expression | |
644 | |
645 ismatrix (x) && ndims (x) == 2 && rows (x) == columns (x) | |
646 | |
647 The dimension is no longer returned. As a result, `issquare ([])' | |
648 now yields true. | |
9873 | 649 |
10118 | 650 * The `issymmetric' function now checks for symmetry instead of |

|
651 Hermitianness. For the latter, ishermitian was created. Also, |
10118 | 652 logical scalar is returned rather than the dimension, so |
653 `issymmetric ([])' is now true. | |
9873 | 654 |
10118 | 655 ** Function handles are now aware of overloaded functions. If a |
656 function is overloaded, the handle determines at the time of its | |
657 reference which function to call. A non-overloaded version does not | |
658 need to exist. | |
9873 | 659 |
10118 | 660 ** Overloading functions for built-in classes (double, int8, cell, |
661 etc.) is now compatible with Matlab. | |
9408 | 662 |
10323 | 663 ** Function handles can now be compared with the == and != operators, |
664 as well as the `isequal' function. | |
665 | |
10118 | 666 ** Performance of concatenation (using []) and the functions `cat', |
667 `horzcat', and `vertcat' has been improved for multidimensional | |
668 arrays. | |
10117 | 669 |
9547 | 670 ** The operation-assignment operators +=, -=, *= and /= now behave more |
10118 | 671 efficiently in certain cases. For instance, if M is a matrix and S a |
672 scalar, then the statement | |
9547 | 673 |
10118 | 674 M += S; |
9547 | 675 |
10118 | 676 will operate on M's data in-place if it is not shared by another |
677 variable, usually increasing both time and memory efficiency. | |
9547 | 678 |
9558 | 679 Only selected common combinations are affected, namely: |
9547 | 680 |
681 matrix += matrix | |
682 matrix -= matrix | |
9558 | 683 matrix .*= matrix |
684 matrix ./= matrix | |
685 | |
9547 | 686 matrix += scalar |
687 matrix -= scalar | |
688 matrix *= scalar | |
689 matrix /= scalar | |
9558 | 690 |
9552 | 691 logical matrix |= logical matrix |
692 logical matrix &= logical matrix | |
9547 | 693 |
10118 | 694 where matrix and scalar belong to the same class. The left-hand |
695 side must be a simple variable reference. | |
9888 | 696 |
10118 | 697 Moreover, when unary operators occur in expressions, Octave will |
698 also try to do the operation in-place if it's argument is a | |

699 temporary expression. |
9589 | 700 |
10118 | 701 ** The effect of comparison operators (<, >, <=, and >=) applied to |
702 complex numbers has changed to be consistent with the strict | |
703 ordering defined by the `max', `min', and `sort' functions. More | |
704 specifically, complex numbers are compared by lexicographical | |
705 comparison of the pairs `[abs(z), arg(z)]'. Previously, only real | |
14188 | 706 parts were compared; this can be trivially achieved by converting |
707 the operands to real values with the `real' function. | |
9547 | 708 |
10118 | 709 ** The automatic simplification of complex computation results has |
710 changed. Octave will now simplify any complex number with a zero | |
711 imaginary part or any complex matrix with all elements having zero | |
712 imaginary part to a real value. Previously, this was done only for | |
713 positive zeros. Note that the behavior of the complex function is | |
714 unchanged and it still produces a complex value even if the | |
715 imaginary part is zero. | |
9826 | 716 |
10118 | 717 ** As a side effect of code refactoring in liboctave, the binary |
718 logical operations are now more easily amenable to compiler | |
719 optimizations and are thus significantly faster. | |
9595 | 720 |
10118 | 721 ** Octave now allows user-defined `subsasgn' methods to optimize out |
722 redundant copies. For more information, see the manual. | |
9595 | 723 |
10453 | 724 ** More efficient matrix division handling. Octave is now able to |
10118 | 725 handle the expressions |

729 V / M |
9664 | 730 |
10118 | 731 (M is a matrix and V is a vector) more efficiently in certain cases. |
732 In particular, if M is triangular, all three expressions will be | |
733 handled by a single call to xTRTRS (from LAPACK), with appropriate | |
10453 | 734 flags. Previously, all three expressions required a physical |
10118 | 735 transpose of M. |
9664 | 736 |
10118 | 737 ** More efficient handling of certain mixed real-complex matrix |
738 operations. For instance, if RM is a real matrix and CM a complex | |
739 matrix, | |
9664 | 740 |
10118 | 741 RM * CM |
9664 | 742 |
743 can now be evaluated either as | |
744 | |
745 complex (RM * real (CM), RM * imag (CM)) | |
746 | |
747 or as | |
748 | |
749 complex (RM) * CM, | |
750 | |
10453 | 751 depending on the dimensions. The first form requires more |
752 temporaries and copying, but halves the FLOP count, which normally | |
753 brings better performance if RM has enough rows. Previously, the | |
754 second form was always used. | |
9664 | 755 |
11111 | 756 Matrix division is similarly affected. |
9664 | 757 |
10118 | 758 ** More efficient handling of triangular matrix factors returned from |
759 factorizations. The functions for computing QR, LU and Cholesky | |
760 factorizations will now automatically return the triangular matrix | |
761 factors with proper internal matrix_type set, so that it won't need | |
762 to be computed when the matrix is used for division. | |
9717 | 763 |
10118 | 764 ** The built-in `sum' function now handles the non-native summation |
765 (i.e., double precision sum of single or integer inputs) more | |
766 efficiently, avoiding a temporary conversion of the whole input | |
767 array to doubles. Further, `sum' can now accept an extra option | |
768 argument, using a compensated summation algorithm rather than a | |
769 straightforward sum, which significantly improves precision if lots | |
770 of cancellation occurs in the summation. | |
9717 | 771 |
10118 | 772 ** The built-in `bsxfun' function now uses optimized code for certain |
773 cases where built-in operator handles are passed in. Namely, the | |
774 optimizations concern the operators `plus', `minus', `times', | |
775 `ldivide', `rdivide', `power', `and', `or' (for logical arrays), | |
776 the relational operators `eq', `ne', `lt', `le', `gt', `ge', and the | |
777 functions `min' and `max'. Optimizations only apply when both | |
778 operands are of the same built-in class. Mixed real/complex and | |
779 single/double operations will first convert both operands to a | |
780 common type. | |
9745 | 781 |
10118 | 782 ** The `strfind' and `strrep' functions now have compiled |
783 implementations, facilitating significantly more efficient searching | |
784 and replacing in strings, especially with longer patterns. The code | |
785 of `strcat' has been vectorized and is now much more efficient when | |
786 many strings are concatenated. The `strcmpi' and `strncmpi' | |
787 functions are now built-in functions, providing better performance. | |

10453 | 794 ** Matlab-style ignoring input and output function arguments using |
11111 | 795 tilde (~) is now supported. Ignored output arguments may be |
796 detected from a function using the built-in function `isargout'. | |
797 For more details, consult the manual. | |
10886 | 798 |
10453 | 799 ** The list datatype, deprecated since the introduction of cells, has |
800 been removed. | |
10276 | 801 |
10453 | 802 ** The accumarray function has been optimized and is now significantly |
803 faster in certain important cases. | |
10054 | 804 |
10292 | 805 ** The behavior of isreal and isnumeric functions was changed to be more |
806 Matlab-compatible. | |
807 | |
10406 | 808 ** The integer math & conversion warnings (Octave:int-convert-nan, |
809 Octave:int-convert-non-int-val, Octave:int-convert-overflow, | |
11111 | 810 Octave:int-math-overflow) have been removed. |
10406 | 811 |
10453 | 812 ** rem and mod are now built-in functions. They also handle integer |
813 types efficiently using integer arithmetic. | |
10437 | 814 |
10536 | 815 ** Sparse indexing and indexed assignment has been mostly rewritten. |
816 Since Octave uses compressed column storage for sparse matrices, | |
817 major attention is devoted to operations manipulating whole columns. | |
818 Such operations are now significantly faster, as well as some other | |
819 important cases. | |
820 | |
821 Further, it is now possible to pre-allocate a sparse matrix and | |
822 subsequently fill it by assignments, provided they meet certain | |
823 conditions. For more information, consult the `spalloc' function, | |
824 which is no longer a mere dummy. Consequently, nzmax and nnz are no | |
11111 | 825 longer always equal in Octave. Octave may also produce a matrix |
826 with nnz < nzmax as a result of other operations, so you should | |

827 consistently use nnz unless you really want to use nzmax (i.e., the |
11111 | 828 space allocated for nonzero elements). |
10536 | 829 |
830 Sparse concatenation is also affected, and concatenating sparse | |
831 matrices, especially larger collections, is now significantly more | |
11111 | 832 efficient. This applies to both the [] operator and the |
10536 | 833 cat/vertcat/horzcat functions. |
834 | |
11111 | 835 ** It is now possible to optionally employ the xGESDD LAPACK drivers |
14188 | 836 for computing the singular value decomposition using svd, instead |
11111 | 837 of the default xGESVD, using the configuration pseudo-variable |
838 svd_driver. The xGESDD driver can be up to 6x times faster when | |
839 singular vectors are requested, but is reported to be somewhat less | |
10639 | 840 robust on highly ill-conditioned matrices. |
841 | |
842 ** Configuration pseudo-variables, such as page_screen_output or | |
843 confirm_recursive_rmdir (or the above mentioned svd_driver), now | |
844 accept a "local" option as second argument, requesting the change | |

1058 __gnuplot_show__, __gnuplot_replot__, __gnuplot_splot__, |
8737 | 1059 __gnuplot_save_data__ and __gnuplot_send_inline_data__ have been |
1060 removed from Octave. These function were incompatible with the | |
1061 high level graphics handle code. | |
6329 | 1062 |
8885 | 1063 ** The Control, Finance and Quaternion functions have been removed. |
1064 | |
1065 These functions are now available as separate packages from | |
1066 | |
1067 http://octave.sourceforge.net/packages.html | |
1068 | |
1069 and can be reinstalled using the Octave package manager (see | |
1070 the pkg function). | |
1071 | |
1072 ** Specific sparse matrix functions removed. | |
1073 | |
1074 The following functions, which handled only sparse matrices have | |
1075 been removed. Instead of calling these functions directly, you | |
1076 should use the corresponding function without the "sp" prefix. | |
8737 | 1077 |
8885 | 1078 spatan2 spcumsum spkron spprod |
1079 spchol spdet splchol spqr | |

1082 spcumprod spinv spmin | |
1083 | |
1084 ** Improvements to the debugger. | |
1085 | |
1086 The interactive debugging features have been improved. Stopping | |
1087 on statements with dbstop should work correctly now. Stepping | |
1088 into and over functions, and stepping one statement at a time | |
1089 (with dbstep) now works. Moving up and down the call stack with | |
1090 dbup and dbdown now works. The dbstack function is now available | |
1091 to print the current function call stack. The new dbquit function | |
1092 is available to exit the debugging mode. | |
1093 | |
1094 ** Improved traceback error messages. | |
1095 | |
1096 Traceback error messages are much more concise and easier to | |
1097 understand. They now display information about the function call | |
1098 stack instead of the stack of all statements that were active at | |
1099 the point of the error. | |

1102 |
8737 | 1103 Octave now includes OOP features and the user can create their own |
1104 class objects and overloaded functions and operators. For | |
1105 example, all methods of a class called "myclass" will be found in | |
1106 a directory "@myclass" on the users path. The class specific | |
1107 versions of functions and operators take precedence over the | |
1108 generic versions of these functions. | |
1109 | |
1110 New functions related to OOP include | |
7189 | 1111 |
8737 | 1112 class inferiorto isobject loadobj methods superiorto |
1113 | |
1114 See the Octave manual for more details. | |
7038 | 1115 |
8747 | 1116 ** Parsing of Command-style Functions. |
1117 | |
1118 Octave now parses command-style functions without needing to first | |
1119 declare them with "mark_as_command". The rules for recognizing a | |
1120 command-style function calls are | |
1121 | |
1122 * A command must appear as the first word in a statement, | |
1123 followed by a space. | |
1124 | |
1125 * The first character after the space must not be '=' or '(' | |
1126 | |
1127 * The next token after the space must not look like a binary | |
1128 operator. | |
1129 | |
1130 These rules should be mostly compatible with the way Matlab parses | |
1131 command-style function calls and allow users to define commands in | |
1132 .m files without having to mark them as commands. | |
1133 | |
1134 Note that previous versions of Octave allowed expressions like | |
1135 | |
1136 x = load -text foo.dat | |
1137 | |
1138 but an expression like this will now generate a parse error. In | |
1139 order to assign the value returned by a function to a variable, | |
1140 you must use the normal function call syntax: | |
1141 | |
1142 x = load ("-text", "foo.dat"); | |
1143 | |
8737 | 1144 ** Block comments. |
1145 | |
8747 | 1146 Commented code can be between matching "#{" and "#}" or "%{" and |
1147 "%}" markers, even if the commented code spans several line. This | |
1148 allows blocks code to be commented, without needing to comment | |
1149 each line. For example, | |
5814 | 1150 |
8747 | 1151 function [s, t] = func (x, y) |
1152 s = 2 * x; | |
1153 #{ | |
1154 s *= y; | |
1155 t = y + x; | |
1156 #} | |

1212 conversions between cells, structs and cs-lists. This usually reduces |
8755 | 1213 both time and memory consumption. |
9128 | 1214 Also, Octave will now attempt to detect and optimize usage of a vector |
1215 as a stack, when elements are being repeatedly inserted at/removed from | |
1216 the end of the vector. | |
8755 | 1217 |
8738 | 1218 ** Improved performance for reduction operations. |

1237 subtracting a scalar, and multiplying by a scalar. Ranges with zero |
10453 | 1238 increment are allowed and can be constructed using the built-in |
1239 function `ones'. | |
9006 | 1240 |
1241 ** Various performance improvements. | |
1242 | |
10453 | 1243 Performance of a number of other built-in operations and functions |
1244 was improved, including: | |
9006 | 1245 |
1246 * logical operations | |
1247 * comparison operators | |
1248 * element-wise power | |
1249 * accumarray | |

1252 * isinf | |

8737 | 1258 ** 64-bit integer arithmetic. |
1259 | |
1260 Arithmetic with 64-bit integers (int64 and uint64 types) is fully | |
1261 supported, with saturation semantics like the other integer types. | |
1262 Performance of most integer arithmetic operations has been | |
1263 improved by using integer arithmetic directly. Previously, Octave | |
1264 performed integer math with saturation semantics by converting the | |
1265 operands to double precision, performing the operation, and then | |
1266 converting the result back to an integer value, truncating if | |
1267 necessary. | |
1268 | |
8885 | 1269 ** Diagonal and permutation matrices. |
1270 | |
1271 The interpreter can now treat diagonal and permutation matrices as | |
1272 special objects that store only the non-zero elements, rather than | |
1273 general full matrices. Therefore, it is now possible to construct | |
1274 and use these matrices in linear algebra without suffering a | |
1275 performance penalty due to storing large numbers of zero elements. | |
1276 | |
1277 ** Improvements to fsolve. | |
1278 | |
1279 The fsolve function now accepts an option structure argument (see | |
1280 also the optimset function). The INFO values returned from fsolve | |
1281 have changed to be compatible with Matlab's fsolve function. | |
1282 Additionally, fsolve is now able to solve overdetermined systems, | |
1283 complex-differentiable complex systems, systems with a sparse | |
1284 jacobian and can work in single precision if given single precision | |

1292 ** New functions for computing some eigenvalues or singular values. | |
1293 | |
1294 The eigs and svds functions have been included in Octave. These | |
1295 functions require the ARPACK library (now distributed under a | |
