As should be clear, I didn't make a release yesterday. It is turning out to be fairly hard to actually make the release. The release system makes a release of all packages at once. The system requires the individual packages to be installed in Octave, and as such it requires being able to actually start Octave. The basic problem I'm seeing is that some packages depend on the 3.1.x series while others depend on the 3.0.x series. That means I cannot install all packages using one version of Octave, which is an assumption of the release system. The summary is that it will be quite hard to actually make a new release using the current system. So, I could either spend time on fixing the current system, or finalising the next system. The current system is quite a mess since it was written over many years by many different people using different programming languages. My motivation for fixing this is quite low, so unless somebody steps up and fixes the current system, then I think focus should be turned to finalising the next system. The practical consequence is that I won't be able to make a release in the very near future. I hope to some time on Friday (which is a holiday in Denmark), and during next week. So hopefully, I'll be able to have the new system ready during a week or so. If anybody wants to help out and speed up the process please speak up. I do apologise for all the trouble this is creating for everybody. I really should have finalised the new system long time ago...
