 This release fixes numerous bugs and adds the following new features:
 <ul>
 <li>argv is now padded with blanks instead of ASCII NUL.</li>
 <li>New command-line option --no-history (also available using the
 single character option -H) inhibits saving command history.</li>

 <ul>
 <li>Tilde expansion is once again performed on the directories listed
 in the LOADPATH variable.</li>
 communicating with subprocesses via pipes would sometimes cause
 Octave to hang.  I doubt that the delay is really the right
 solution.  If anyone has a better idea, I'd love to hear it.</li>

-<h2>Summary of changes for version 2.0.10</h2>
+### Version 2.0.10
 <ul>
 <li>The built-in variable `PWD' has been removed.  If you need to get
 the value of the current working directory, use the pwd() function
 instead.</li>
 libstdc++ is distributed as part of libg++ 2.7.2.  For later
 versions, libstdc++ is distributed separately.  For egcs,
 libstdc++ is included with the compiler distribution.</li>

 <ul>
 <li>It is now possible to specify a label for lines in the plot key
 when using the plot function.  For example,
 <pre>

 plots y vs. x using the linespoints style and sets the title of
 the line in the key to be `sin(x)'</li>

 <li>Octave no longer includes functions to work with NPSOL or QPSOL,
 because they are not free software.</li>

+### Version 2.0.5
 <ul>
 <li>A `switch' statement is now available.  See the Statements chapter

 <li>More tests.</li>
 </ul>
-<h2>Summary of changes for version 2.0.4</h2>

 variable names.  They still cannot be used as formal parameters
 for functions, or as the names of structure variables.  Failed

 <li>Is is now possible to invoke commands like ls, save, and cd as
 normal functions (for example, load ("foo", "x", "y", "z")).</li>

 second argument that specifies a maximum number of characters to
 read, and the function fgets is now compatible with Matlab.</li>

 possible to print the internal bit representation of a value
