+- Update to version 2.6.1:
+ * io-2.6.1 is meant to polish a few prominent bugs introduced unfortunately
+ in the coarse of code overhaul for io-2.6.0.
+ * Bug fixes:
+ - xlsopen: reinstate default OCT interface (reason that on systems w/o
+ Java or with non-matching Java bit width "no spreadsheet I/O support
+ was found" for .ods and .xlsx).
+ - ods*.m wrapper functions: properly implement output args (bug #58045).
+ - Wrong concatenation of indices when reading .xlsx with OCT interface.
+ * Still no fix for the XML functions :-(
+- Update to version 2.6.0:
+ * Bug fixes:
+ - Fixed some concealed bugs in getxmlattv.m & __OXS_spsh2oct__.m.
+ - dbfwrite.m: made more robust as regards heterogeneous data columns, just
+ skip them rather than abort.
+ Also fixed writing just one data row (bug #57669)
+ - read_namelist.m: fixed a minor typo.
+ - OCT interface: properly return negative values formatted as "(<value>)"
+ (bug #57812).
+ - The XML functions xmlread.m and xmlwrite.m have been (temporarily)
+ removed (see bug #58004). Once that bug is fixed these functions will be
+ reinstated.
+ * Code improvements:
+ - Most user-visible spreadsheet I/O functions have been adapted such that:
+ * All supported spreadsheet formats / file types can be read and written
+ with the xls*.m functions. So it isn't required anymore to read
+ .xlsx/.xls with xlsread, and .ods with odsread, etc.
+ * The ods*.m functions still exist but now are mere wrappers for the
+ corresponding xls*.m functions. They are (softly) deprecated but will
+ be retained for a while (to at least somewhere in 2022 ?).
+ As they are mere wrappers they have all the functionality of the
+ corresponding xls*.m and previous ods*.m functions.
+ This has been done to cut down on code maintenance; it wasn't really
+ manageable to keep two separate function sets in sync that behind the
+ scenes provided close to 95 % overlapping internal functionality. The
+ choice for keeping xls*.m rather than ods*.m functions was made for
+ Matlab compatibility - that has no ods*.m functions.
+ - The xlsread.m help text now contains an extensive explanation of
+ spreadsheet I/O interfaces.
+ - The message indicating which interfaces were found is now silenced but
+ can be shown by adding an argument "verbose" to xlsread / xlsopen /
+ xlswrite. See the help for xlsread, xlsopen and xlswrite.
+ * Other changes
+ The previously separate READ-ODS.html and READ-XLS.html docs in the doc/
+ subdirectory have been replaced by a new combined html background document
+ rewritten from scratch: Spreadsheet-IO-in-Octave.html
