This means - that expressions like 3*i are now evaluated only once, when a - function is compiled, and the right hand side of expressions like - a = [1,2;3,4] are treated as true matrix constants rather than - lists of elements which must be evaluated each time they are - needed. - (???) - - * Octave now attempts to continue after floating point exceptions - or out-of-memory errors. - (???) - - * If Octave crashes, it now attempts to save all user-defined - variables in a file named 'octave-core' in the current directory - before exiting. - (???) - - * The info reader is now a separate binary that runs as a - subprocess. You still need the info reader distributed with - Octave though, because there are some new command-line arguments - that are not yet available in the public release of Info. - (install) - - * If it is present, Octave will now use an 'ls-R' database file to - speed up recursive path searching. Octave looks for a file called - ls-R in the directory specified by the environment variable - OCTAVE_DB_DIR. If that is not set but the environment variable - OCTAVE_HOME is set, Octave looks in $OCTAVE_HOME/lib/octave. - Otherwise, Octave looks in the directory $datadir/octave (normally - /usr/local/lib/octave). - (install)
