   Release Name: 2002-05-09

   Notes:
   This is a bug fix release.  Many thanks to the good folks at 
   Debian for finding the portability problems.


   Changes:
   New functions

     * miscellaneous/OCTAVE_FORGE_VERSION
     * extra/tsa/durlev
     * strings/base64encode
     * signal/gausswin
     * image/colfilt

   Changes

     * audio/sound: uses ssh rather than rsh for remote audio
     * testfun/assert: use tol>0 for relative error, 
       tol<0 for absolute err
     * optim/bfgs: new interface
     * optim/minimize: ndiff, jac, hess and ihess options
     * NaN/sumskipnan: additional outputs
     * NaN/*: bug fixes, speedups

   Bug fixes

     * signal/triang: for n=2, peak=1 at the virtual 
       center of the window
     * signal/gaussian: now returns a symmetric window
     * now compiles on Debian systems which support Octave
     * updated doc strings, tests

   Administration

     * make check and make icheck added.  Only supports the
       compiled functions at the moment, but it is a start.
       Please note that make check may fail for chol
       with error near eps --- this has been fixed in
       batch_test.m to use relative error in CVS.
