10118 | 12 ** The `lookup' function was extended to be more useful for |
13 general-purpose binary searching. Using this improvement, the | |
14 ismember function was rewritten for significantly better | |
15 performance. | |
9352 | 16 |
17 ** Real, integer and logical matrices, when used in indexing, will now | |
18 cache the internal index_vector value (zero-based indices) when | |
19 successfully used as indices, eliminating the conversion penalty for | |
10118 | 20 subsequent indexing by the same matrix. In particular, this means it |
21 is no longer needed to avoid repeated indexing by logical arrays | |
22 using find for performance reasons. | |
9888 | 23 |
10118 | 24 ** Logical matrices are now treated more efficiently when used as |
25 indices. Octave will keep the index as a logical mask unless the | |
26 ratio of true elements is small enough, using a specialized | |
27 code. Previously, all logical matrices were always first converted | |
28 to index vectors. This results in savings in both memory and | |
29 computing time. | |
9480 | 30 |
10118 | 31 ** The `sub2ind' and `ind2sub' functions were reimplemented as compiled |
32 functions for better performance. These functions are now faster, | |
33 can deliver more economized results for ranges, and can reuse the | |
34 index cache mechanism described in previous paragraph. | |
35 | |
36 ** The built-in function equivalents to associative operators (`plus', | |
37 `times', `mtimes', `and', and `or') have been extended to accept | |
38 multiple arguments. This is especially useful for summing | |
39 (multiplying, etc.) lists of objects (of possibly distinct types): | |
9408 | 40 |
9449 | 41 matrix_sum = plus (matrix_list{:}); |
42 | |
10118 | 43 ** An FTP object type based on libcurl has been implemented. These |
44 objects allow ftp connections, downloads and uploads to be | |
45 managed. For example, | |
9880 | 46 |
10118 | 47 fp = ftp ("ftp.octave.org); |
48 cd (fp, "gnu/octave"); | |
49 mget (fp, "octave-3.2.3.tar.bz2"); | |
50 close (fp); | |
9880 | 51 |
10118 | 52 ** The default behavior of `assert (observed, expected)' has been |
53 relaxed to employ less strict checking that does not require the | |
54 internals of the values to match. This avoids previously valid | |
55 tests from breaking due to new internal classes introduced in future | |
56 Octave versions. | |
9449 | 57 |
58 For instance, all of these assertions were true in Octave 3.0.x | |
59 but false in 3.2.x due to new optimizations and improvements: | |
60 | |
61 assert (2*linspace (1, 5, 5), 2*(1:5)) | |
62 assert (zeros (0, 0), []) | |
63 assert (2*ones (1, 5), (2) (ones (1,5))) | |
9462 | 64 |
10118 | 65 ** The behavior of library functions `ismatrix', `issquare', and |
66 `issymmetric' has been changed for better consistency. | |
9873 | 67 |
10292 | 68 * The `ismatrix' function now returns true for all numeric, |

69 logical and character 2-D or N-D matrices. Previously, `ismatrix' |
10292 | 70 returned false if the first or second dimension was zero. |
71 Hence, `ismatrix ([])' was false, | |
72 while `ismatrix (zeros (1,2,0))' was true. | |
9873 | 73 |
10118 | 74 * The `issquare' function now returns a logical scalar, and is |
75 equivalent to the expression | |
76 | |
77 ismatrix (x) && ndims (x) == 2 && rows (x) == columns (x) | |
78 | |
79 The dimension is no longer returned. As a result, `issquare ([])' | |
80 now yields true. | |
9873 | 81 |
10118 | 82 * The `issymmetric' function now checks for symmetry instead of |

|
83 Hermitianness. For the latter, ishermitian was created. Also, |
10118 | 84 logical scalar is returned rather than the dimension, so |
85 `issymmetric ([])' is now true. | |
9873 | 86 |
10118 | 87 ** Function handles are now aware of overloaded functions. If a |
88 function is overloaded, the handle determines at the time of its | |
89 reference which function to call. A non-overloaded version does not | |
90 need to exist. | |
9873 | 91 |
10118 | 92 ** Overloading functions for built-in classes (double, int8, cell, |
93 etc.) is now compatible with Matlab. | |
9408 | 94 |
10323 | 95 ** Function handles can now be compared with the == and != operators, |
96 as well as the `isequal' function. | |
97 | |
10118 | 98 ** Performance of concatenation (using []) and the functions `cat', |
99 `horzcat', and `vertcat' has been improved for multidimensional | |
100 arrays. | |
10117 | 101 |
9547 | 102 ** The operation-assignment operators +=, -=, *= and /= now behave more |
10118 | 103 efficiently in certain cases. For instance, if M is a matrix and S a |
104 scalar, then the statement | |
9547 | 105 |
10118 | 106 M += S; |
9547 | 107 |
10118 | 108 will operate on M's data in-place if it is not shared by another |
109 variable, usually increasing both time and memory efficiency. | |
9547 | 110 |
9558 | 111 Only selected common combinations are affected, namely: |
9547 | 112 |
113 matrix += matrix | |
114 matrix -= matrix | |
9558 | 115 matrix .*= matrix |
116 matrix ./= matrix | |
117 | |
9547 | 118 matrix += scalar |
119 matrix -= scalar | |
120 matrix *= scalar | |
121 matrix /= scalar | |
9558 | 122 |
9552 | 123 logical matrix |= logical matrix |
124 logical matrix &= logical matrix | |
9547 | 125 |
10118 | 126 where matrix and scalar belong to the same class. The left-hand |
127 side must be a simple variable reference. | |
9888 | 128 |
10118 | 129 Moreover, when unary operators occur in expressions, Octave will |
130 also try to do the operation in-place if it's argument is a | |
131 temporary expresssion. | |
9589 | 132 |
10118 | 133 ** The effect of comparison operators (<, >, <=, and >=) applied to |
134 complex numbers has changed to be consistent with the strict | |
135 ordering defined by the `max', `min', and `sort' functions. More | |
136 specifically, complex numbers are compared by lexicographical | |
137 comparison of the pairs `[abs(z), arg(z)]'. Previously, only real | |
138 parts were compared; this can be trivially achieved by wrapping the | |
139 operands in real(). | |
9547 | 140 |
10118 | 141 ** The automatic simplification of complex computation results has |
142 changed. Octave will now simplify any complex number with a zero | |
143 imaginary part or any complex matrix with all elements having zero | |
144 imaginary part to a real value. Previously, this was done only for | |
145 positive zeros. Note that the behavior of the complex function is | |
146 unchanged and it still produces a complex value even if the | |
147 imaginary part is zero. | |
9826 | 148 |
10118 | 149 ** As a side effect of code refactoring in liboctave, the binary |
150 logical operations are now more easily amenable to compiler | |
151 optimizations and are thus significantly faster. | |
9595 | 152 |
10118 | 153 ** Octave now allows user-defined `subsasgn' methods to optimize out |
154 redundant copies. For more information, see the manual. | |
9595 | 155 |
10453 | 156 ** More efficient matrix division handling. Octave is now able to |
10118 | 157 handle the expressions |

161 V / M |
9664 | 162 |
10118 | 163 (M is a matrix and V is a vector) more efficiently in certain cases. |
164 In particular, if M is triangular, all three expressions will be | |
165 handled by a single call to xTRTRS (from LAPACK), with appropriate | |
10453 | 166 flags. Previously, all three expressions required a physical |
10118 | 167 transpose of M. |
9664 | 168 |
10118 | 169 ** More efficient handling of certain mixed real-complex matrix |
170 operations. For instance, if RM is a real matrix and CM a complex | |
171 matrix, | |
9664 | 172 |
10118 | 173 RM * CM |
9664 | 174 |
175 can now be evaluated either as | |
176 | |
177 complex (RM * real (CM), RM * imag (CM)) | |
178 | |
179 or as | |
180 | |
181 complex (RM) * CM, | |
182 | |
10453 | 183 depending on the dimensions. The first form requires more |
184 temporaries and copying, but halves the FLOP count, which normally | |
185 brings better performance if RM has enough rows. Previously, the | |
186 second form was always used. | |
9664 | 187 |
11111 | 188 Matrix division is similarly affected. |
9664 | 189 |
10118 | 190 ** More efficient handling of triangular matrix factors returned from |
191 factorizations. The functions for computing QR, LU and Cholesky | |
192 factorizations will now automatically return the triangular matrix | |
193 factors with proper internal matrix_type set, so that it won't need | |
194 to be computed when the matrix is used for division. | |
9717 | 195 |
10118 | 196 ** The built-in `sum' function now handles the non-native summation |
197 (i.e., double precision sum of single or integer inputs) more | |
198 efficiently, avoiding a temporary conversion of the whole input | |
199 array to doubles. Further, `sum' can now accept an extra option | |
200 argument, using a compensated summation algorithm rather than a | |
201 straightforward sum, which significantly improves precision if lots | |
202 of cancellation occurs in the summation. | |
9717 | 203 |
10118 | 204 ** The built-in `bsxfun' function now uses optimized code for certain |
205 cases where built-in operator handles are passed in. Namely, the | |
206 optimizations concern the operators `plus', `minus', `times', | |
207 `ldivide', `rdivide', `power', `and', `or' (for logical arrays), | |
208 the relational operators `eq', `ne', `lt', `le', `gt', `ge', and the | |
209 functions `min' and `max'. Optimizations only apply when both | |
210 operands are of the same built-in class. Mixed real/complex and | |
211 single/double operations will first convert both operands to a | |
212 common type. | |
9745 | 213 |
10118 | 214 ** The `strfind' and `strrep' functions now have compiled |
215 implementations, facilitating significantly more efficient searching | |
216 and replacing in strings, especially with longer patterns. The code | |
217 of `strcat' has been vectorized and is now much more efficient when | |
218 many strings are concatenated. The `strcmpi' and `strncmpi' | |
219 functions are now built-in functions, providing better performance. | |
10208 | 220 |
10453 | 221 ** Matlab-style ignoring input and output function arguments using |
11111 | 222 tilde (~) is now supported. Ignored output arguments may be |
223 detected from a function using the built-in function `isargout'. | |
224 For more details, consult the manual. | |
10886 | 225 |
10453 | 226 ** The list datatype, deprecated since the introduction of cells, has |
227 been removed. | |
10276 | 228 |
10453 | 229 ** The accumarray function has been optimized and is now significantly |
230 faster in certain important cases. | |
10054 | 231 |
10292 | 232 ** The behavior of isreal and isnumeric functions was changed to be more |
233 Matlab-compatible. | |
234 | |
10406 | 235 ** The integer math & conversion warnings (Octave:int-convert-nan, |
236 Octave:int-convert-non-int-val, Octave:int-convert-overflow, | |
11111 | 237 Octave:int-math-overflow) have been removed. |
10406 | 238 |
10453 | 239 ** rem and mod are now built-in functions. They also handle integer |
240 types efficiently using integer arithmetic. | |
10437 | 241 |
10536 | 242 ** Sparse indexing and indexed assignment has been mostly rewritten. |
243 Since Octave uses compressed column storage for sparse matrices, | |
244 major attention is devoted to operations manipulating whole columns. | |
245 Such operations are now significantly faster, as well as some other | |
246 important cases. | |
247 | |
248 Further, it is now possible to pre-allocate a sparse matrix and | |
249 subsequently fill it by assignments, provided they meet certain | |
250 conditions. For more information, consult the `spalloc' function, | |
251 which is no longer a mere dummy. Consequently, nzmax and nnz are no | |
11111 | 252 longer always equal in Octave. Octave may also produce a matrix |
253 with nnz < nzmax as a result of other operations, so you should | |
254 consistently use nnz unless you really want to use nzmax (i.e. the | |
255 space allocated for nonzero elements). | |
10536 | 256 |
257 Sparse concatenation is also affected, and concatenating sparse | |
258 matrices, especially larger collections, is now significantly more | |
11111 | 259 efficient. This applies to both the [] operator and the |
10536 | 260 cat/vertcat/horzcat functions. |
261 | |
11111 | 262 ** It is now possible to optionally employ the xGESDD LAPACK drivers |
263 for computing the singular value decomposition using svd(), instead | |
264 of the default xGESVD, using the configuration pseudo-variable | |
265 svd_driver. The xGESDD driver can be up to 6x times faster when | |
266 singular vectors are requested, but is reported to be somewhat less | |
10639 | 267 robust on highly ill-conditioned matrices. |
268 | |
269 ** Configuration pseudo-variables, such as page_screen_output or | |
270 confirm_recursive_rmdir (or the above mentioned svd_driver), now | |
271 accept a "local" option as second argument, requesting the change | |

282 changes to the variable in function rm_rf or any of the functions | |
283 it calls. | |
284 | |
11111 | 285 ** pkg now accepts a -forge option for downloading and installing |
286 packages from Octave Forge automatically. For example, | |

11111 | 290 will automatically download the latest release of the general |

515 on statements with dbstop should work correctly now. Stepping | |
516 into and over functions, and stepping one statement at a time | |
517 (with dbstep) now works. Moving up and down the call stack with | |
518 dbup and dbdown now works. The dbstack function is now available | |
519 to print the current function call stack. The new dbquit function | |
520 is available to exit the debugging mode. | |
521 | |
522 ** Improved traceback error messages. | |
523 | |
524 Traceback error messages are much more concise and easier to | |
525 understand. They now display information about the function call | |
526 stack instead of the stack of all statements that were active at | |
527 the point of the error. | |

530 |
8737 | 531 Octave now includes OOP features and the user can create their own |
532 class objects and overloaded functions and operators. For | |
533 example, all methods of a class called "myclass" will be found in | |
534 a directory "@myclass" on the users path. The class specific | |
535 versions of functions and operators take precedence over the | |
536 generic versions of these functions. | |
537 | |
538 New functions related to OOP include | |
7189 | 539 |
8737 | 540 class inferiorto isobject loadobj methods superiorto |
541 | |
542 See the Octave manual for more details. | |
7038 | 543 |
8747 | 544 ** Parsing of Command-style Functions. |
545 | |
546 Octave now parses command-style functions without needing to first | |
547 declare them with "mark_as_command". The rules for recognizing a | |
548 command-style function calls are | |
549 | |
550 * A command must appear as the first word in a statement, | |
551 followed by a space. | |
552 | |
553 * The first character after the space must not be '=' or '(' | |
554 | |
555 * The next token after the space must not look like a binary | |
556 operator. | |
557 | |
558 These rules should be mostly compatible with the way Matlab parses | |
559 command-style function calls and allow users to define commands in | |
560 .m files without having to mark them as commands. | |
561 | |
562 Note that previous versions of Octave allowed expressions like | |
563 | |
564 x = load -text foo.dat | |
565 | |
566 but an expression like this will now generate a parse error. In | |
567 order to assign the value returned by a function to a variable, | |
568 you must use the normal function call syntax: | |
569 | |
570 x = load ("-text", "foo.dat"); | |
571 | |
8737 | 572 ** Block comments. |
573 | |
8747 | 574 Commented code can be between matching "#{" and "#}" or "%{" and |
575 "%}" markers, even if the commented code spans several line. This | |
576 allows blocks code to be commented, without needing to comment | |
577 each line. For example, | |
5814 | 578 |
8747 | 579 function [s, t] = func (x, y) |
580 s = 2 * x; | |
581 #{ | |
582 s *= y; | |
583 t = y + x; | |
584 #} | |

640 conversions between cells, structs and cs-lists. This usually reduces |
8755 | 641 both time and memory consumption. |
9128 | 642 Also, Octave will now attempt to detect and optimize usage of a vector |
643 as a stack, when elements are being repeatedly inserted at/removed from | |
644 the end of the vector. | |
8755 | 645 |
8738 | 646 ** Improved performance for reduction operations. |
647 | |
8755 | 648 The performance of the sum, prod, sumsq, cumsum, cumprod, any, all, |
649 max and min functions has been significantly improved. | |
8738 | 650 |
9006 | 651 ** Sorting and searching. |
652 | |
653 The performance of sort has been improved, especially when sorting | |
10453 | 654 indices are requested. An efficient built-in issorted |
655 implementation was added. The sortrows function now uses a more | |
656 efficient algorithm, especially in the homegeneous case. The lookup | |
657 function is now a built-in function performing a binary search, | |
658 optimized for long runs of close elements. Lookup also works with | |
659 cell arrays of strings. | |
9006 | 660 |
661 ** Range arithmetics | |
662 | |
10453 | 663 For some operations on ranges, Octave will attempt to keep the |
664 result as a range. These include negation, adding a scalar, | |
665 subtracting a scalar, and multiplying by a scalar. Ranges with zero | |
666 increment are allowed and can be constructed using the built-in | |
667 function `ones'. | |
9006 | 668 |
669 ** Various performance improvements. | |
670 | |
10453 | 671 Performance of a number of other built-in operations and functions |
672 was improved, including: | |
9006 | 673 |
674 * logical operations | |
675 * comparison operators | |
676 * element-wise power | |
677 * accumarray | |
678 * cellfun | |
679 * isnan | |
680 * isinf | |
681 * isfinite | |
682 * nchoosek | |
683 * repmat | |
684 * strcmp | |
685 | |
8737 | 686 ** 64-bit integer arithmetic. |
687 | |
688 Arithmetic with 64-bit integers (int64 and uint64 types) is fully | |
689 supported, with saturation semantics like the other integer types. | |
690 Performance of most integer arithmetic operations has been | |
691 improved by using integer arithmetic directly. Previously, Octave | |
692 performed integer math with saturation semantics by converting the | |
693 operands to double precision, performing the operation, and then | |
694 converting the result back to an integer value, truncating if | |
695 necessary. | |
696 | |
8885 | 697 ** Diagonal and permutation matrices. |
698 | |
699 The interpreter can now treat diagonal and permutation matrices as | |
700 special objects that store only the non-zero elements, rather than | |
701 general full matrices. Therefore, it is now possible to construct | |
702 and use these matrices in linear algebra without suffering a | |
703 performance penalty due to storing large numbers of zero elements. | |
704 | |
705 ** Improvements to fsolve. | |
706 | |
707 The fsolve function now accepts an option structure argument (see | |
708 also the optimset function). The INFO values returned from fsolve | |
709 have changed to be compatible with Matlab's fsolve function. | |
710 Additionally, fsolve is now able to solve overdetermined systems, | |
711 complex-differentiable complex systems, systems with a sparse | |
712 jacobian and can work in single precision if given single precision | |

718 matrix in a single call, as well as general matrix p-norms. | |
719 | |
720 ** New functions for computing some eigenvalues or singular values. | |

723 functions require the ARPACK library (now distributed under a | |

8885 | 767 ** Changes to strcat. |
768 | |
769 The strcat function is now compatible with Matlab's strcat | |
770 function, which removes trailing whitespace when concatenating | |
771 character strings. For example | |
772 | |
773 strcat ('foo ', 'bar') | |
774 ==> 'foobar' | |
775 | |
776 The new function cstrcat provides the previous behavior of | |
777 Octave's strcat. | |
778 | |
779 ** Improvements to the help functions. | |

781 The help system has been mostly re-implemented in .m files to make |
8885 | 782 it easier to modify. Performance of the lookfor function has been |
783 greatly improved by caching the help text from all functions that | |
784 are distributed with Octave. The pkg function has been modified | |
785 to generate cache files for external packages when they are | |
786 installed. | |
