Hi everyone the miscellaneous package has an implementation of waitbar which has now been implemented in octave core. I was thinking about removing this function from the package but the API between the two is different (the one in core will be matlab compatible) which means that would break code that uses it. However, if we deprecate instead of removing it, the package will be shadowing the core function which in my opinion is worse.
My opinion is to remove it completely, leave a note on the package NEWS and bump the medium version number (rather than bumping the minor which is 11 right now. There's a couple of large changes on the package anyway and I tend to see the minor version number as bugfixes releases only). Anyone has any opinions on this?
