Re: [OctDev] Ocatve release 2.1.51 and Octave-Forge

[David B. <Dav...@mo...>]

Ok, seeing the limited response to this e-mail I've updated octave-forge
for this change for 2.1.51. The authors of symbolic and sparse packages
should check the changes however.

I hope we can have a release rapidly, since the current octave-forge 
release will NOT work with 2.1.51.....

Regards
David
