uniquetol.m: improve matlab compatibility and add byrows sorting (bug #59850)
* /scripts/set/uniquetol.m: improve empty and NaN handling, add sorting to
'byrows' output, ensure ia and ic outputs have column orientation for arrays
and cells, verify consistent single class handling, add BISTs for
aforementioned cases, and update docstring to note non-complex input
requirement.

Summary of important user-visible changes for version 8 (yyyy-mm-dd): --------------------------------------------------------------------- ### General improvements - Octave's libraries are now built using symbol visibility by default. That means that less symbols are exported from these libraries. Configure with `--disable-lib-visibility-flags` to export all symbols (as in previous versions). - `integral` can now output a second argument passing the error measurement used by the underlying integrator. - `perms` now accepts a second argument "unique" to return only unique permutations for inputs with repeated elements. It is faster and takes less memory to call `perms ('aaaabbbbcccc', "unique")` than to call `unique (perms ('aaaabbbbcccc'), "rows")`. - `quadgk` can now accept the `ArrayValued` input parameter to handle array-valued input functions. ### Graphical User Interface ### Graphics backend - Additional properties have been added to the `figure` graphics object: * `"innerposition"` (equivalent to `"position"`) * `"windowstate"` (not yet implemented) ### Matlab compatibility - `inline` functions now support all Matlab methods. The performance of `inline` functions has also been improved. - `sub2ind` now supports index values outside of the size specified by the subscripts. - `cylinder` now accepts a scalar for the radius argument. - `clock` now has an optional second output `ISDST` which indicates if Daylight Savings Time is in effect for the system's time zone. - `print` now accepts option `-image` to specify the "opengl" renderer and `-vector` to specify the "painters" renderer. - `format` now accepts the option "default", which is equivalent to calling `format` without any options to reset the default state. - `quadgk` now stops iterating when `error <= tolerance` while the previous condition was `error < tolerance`. - `var` and `std` now optionally output a second argument containing the mean or weighted mean. - `integral` can now accept the 'ArrayValued' option in combination with 'RelTol' and 'WayPoints'. - The default state for certain graphics properties has been made consistent with Matlab. Object | Property | Default State ------------|------------------|------------ `figure` | `"dockcontrols"` | `"on"` ### Alphabetical list of new functions added in Octave 8 * `uifigure` ### Deprecated functions, properties, and operators The following functions and properties have been deprecated in Octave 8 and will be removed from Octave 10 (or whatever version is the second major release after 8): - Functions Function | Replacement -----------------------|------------------ `shift` | `circshift` `sparse_auto_mutate` | none (see below) - The `sparse_auto_mutate` function no longer has any effect on Octave's behavior. Previously, after calling `sparse_auto_mutate (true)`, Octave would automatically convert sparse matrices to full when a sparse matrix required more memory than simply using full matrix storage. This setting was `false` by default for compatibility with Matlab. Now you must manually convert to full storage when desired. - Properties The following property names are discouraged, but there is no fixed date for their removal. Object | Property | Replacement -----------------|-------------|------------ `uimenu` | `label` | `text` `uimenu` | `callback` | `menuselectedfcn` The following functions were deprecated in Octave 6 and have been removed from Octave 8. - Functions Function | Replacement -----------------------|------------------ `runtests` | `oruntests` - The environment variable used by `mkoctfile` for linker flags is now `LDFLAGS` rather than `LFLAGS`. `LFLAGS` was deprecated in Octave 6, and will be removed in a future version of Octave. ### Old release news - [Octave 7.x](etc/NEWS.7) - [Octave 6.x](etc/NEWS.6) - [Octave 5.x](etc/NEWS.5) - [Octave 4.x](etc/NEWS.4) - [Octave 3.x](etc/NEWS.3) - [Octave 2.x](etc/NEWS.2) - [Octave 1.x](etc/NEWS.1)
