 ### Matlab compatibility
 
+- `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.

-- The `sparse_auto_mutate` function no longer has any effect on Octave's behavior.  Prevoiusly, 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.
