Octave 2.1.53 is now available for ftp from ftp.octave.org in the
directory /pub/octave/bleeding-edge:
 
  -rw-r--r--  1 103  5289867 Jan 23 04:19 octave-2.1.53.tar.gz
  -rw-r--r--  1 103  4184523 Jan 23 04:19 octave-2.1.53.tar.bz2
  -rw-r--r--  1 103    91323 Jan 23 05:12 octave-2.1.52-2.1.53.patch.gz
  -rw-r--r--  1 103    76005 Jan 23 05:12 octave-2.1.52-2.1.53.patch.bz2

This version should fix most of the bugs reported since 2.1.52.  N-d
array handling is better.

There are still some significant features related to N-d arrays that
need to be implemented.  For example, the [] operator will fail to
concatenate N-d arrays, but we hope to fix this for 2.1.54.  If you
find that another of your favorite N-d array operations doesn't work,
please mention it so we can have some idea of what features are missed
the most.  Patches are also welcome.

As always, if your favorite bug is still not fixed, please report it.

Also, 2.1.50 is still the recommended version, but this one should be
much better than 2.1.52.  If there are no serious problems reported
during the next few weeks for for anything that should have worked
with 2.1.50, then 2.1.53 will probably be promoted to the recommended
version.

Thanks,

jwe
