We'll do our best to make new releases, but... yeah, sadly, things are never that simple. The 'io' package (which contains the IO related functions you mention) depends on the 'java' package (for Excel stuff), which I think is causing troubles with the current development sources. > Now that Octave will warn if a function from a package hides a core > function, these duplicate functions will be noticed and likely > generate some noise on the mailing lists.

Yeah, that will be annoying for a while, but it really is a great way to notice these things :-) > I know, this is where Jordi will chime in and say that we need better > integration of Octave Forge and Octave development and > distribution... :-) I'll be more than happy to join that choir :-) That being said, I think the current issue is more related to lack of man power than lack of integration between the two projects.
