Hi All

I have been working on a fairly large vaporware project, namely the new
release system and the corresponding web page. That is, up till now, as
it is no longer vaporware :-)

I have not really had the time to work out every detail, but it has been
saddening to see SVN versions of various packages floating around, so I
figured we should just roll out the new system and deal with bugs as
they appear. So, I have now changed the web site such that it supports
the new release system. If you don't know the details of the new system,
read the documentation Carlo wrote, which is available at
http://octave.sourceforge.net/developers.html

I have tried to make as many packages available as possible, but I have
not been entirely successful. Here is a more detailed list of problems:

  ann
    Version 1.0.2 of this package doesn't build for me.

  comm
    The SVN version doesn't compile for me due to changes in
    the unwind_protect API.

  fixed
    The SVN version doesn't compile for me.

  ftp
    Version 1.0.2 of the package doesn't build for me.

  octcdf
    Version 1.0.13 of the package doesn't build for me.

  odepkg
    The demos or tests in version 0.6.7 of the package
    seems to contain infinite loop.

  parallel
    The SVN version doesn't build for me.

  control-oo
    I'm not sure if this is meant to be released yet,
    so I didn't release it.

  graceplot
    This package seems unmaintained. What should we do with it?

  jhandles
    I haven't been able to install this package. I'll look more
    into this.

  ocs 
    Version 0.0.4 of the package didn't install for me.

  openmpi_ext
    I'm not sure if this is meant to be released yet,
    so I didn't do it.

  tk-octave
    This package doesn't build for me.

  triangular
    Version 1.0.4 of the package doesn't build for me.

  es_CO and pt_BR
    I am not sure if these are ready for release. Are they?

It is possible that something went wrong with the web page generation of
some of the packages already online. If you notice anything wrong,
please speak up.

I really do apologise for not making this change happen more soon. Also,
thanks a lot to Carlo for his great efforts in making this finally
happen.

Søren
