[OctDev] Release details

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

Hi all,

I posted RELEASE-NOTES.  Check that I've got everything.

Quite the effort for the last couple of months!  Lots of work on
comm and fixed as usual.  Some long standing issues addressed
in sparse (thanks Andy and David!).  Many extensions to the image
processing toolbox.  And of course the usual maintenance
(thanks everybody!).

Build works fine on Debian 2.1.57 and 2.1.58.

There are a number of test failures that I don't expect.  Could someone
familiar with the following please look into them:

	cmpermute
	qtdecomp
	uintlut
	fzero
	pcr

There are a couple of errors I'm responsible for that I have left in
as a reminder to go back and finish things, namely kaiserord and
princomp.  I'm happy to see that Andy removed all those I put in
for sparse.

There are lots of expected failures in 2.1.57 and below which are
not properly flagged in the tests.  Do we need syntactic support
for version specific tests?

There are issues in the OS X build against 2.1.55 (swap_4_bytes in
galois and fixed types is causing problems) that I haven't resolved yet,
but these are not show stoppers.  The same issues in 2.1.58 would
be cause for concern.  Anyone tried it?

I would appreciate any comments on the status of the Cygwin builds
against 2.1.58.  I'm still stalled on fftw problems I mentioned 
elsewhere.

Thanks,

	- Paul
