[OctDev] RELEASE-NOTES

[Paul K. <pki...@us...>]

Please post any changes to octave-forge/RELEASE-NOTES that
I may have missed.  After I hear back about Debian builds I will
make a new release.

I've compiled successfully on 2.1.53 and 2.1.40.  Most of the
tests ran successfully on both.   This may just reflect the lack
of adequate testing ;-)

A number of tests fail on both because they test for features
that are not yet implemented.  Feel free to post patches, and
new tests.

Let me know what problems are outstanding.  I know of
at least two:  tk_octave no longer compiles and optim/lp.cc
doesn't work with lower bounds.   Also I've heard reports
of qhull based routines not building.  And I would rather
not have two BFGS routines in optim, certainly not without
an explanation of why one should be used and not the
other.  Anyone care to unify the two?
