So apparently you rebuilt it yourself but maybe forgot to upload it. Next in sequence I didn't bother to check if it was properly uploaded after all. Hmm, next time I *will* check - I suppose that's part of the duties when preparing a new package version. BTW the DESCRIPTION file says the "octave-forge community" is the maintainer of io. Is there a reason for that? Currently the vast majority of function files in io is from me. Until some other future io function file developer beats me to that, I think I might better take up responsibility. OK? If you all agree, I'll change the relevant stanzas in the io package next time I prepare an update.
