Thanks again to David Bateman for all his hard work to get this
snapshot ready.

This version includes many new features, including integer data types,
inline functions, function handles, concatenation of structs, cell
arrays and user-defined types, and better compatibility with the
leading brand.

Since 2.1.61, the following features have been implemented:

  * Comparison operations for 64-bit integers without conversion to
    double (so comparisons on the full range of 64-bit integers should
    work correctly).

  * Concatenation of mixed-integer types and concatenation of
    integers and doubles (expressions like [int16(1), int32(2)]). 

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

Unless any major problems are found in the next few days, 2.1.62 will
become the next "recommended" version of Octave.
