Follow-up Comment #8, bug #41630 (project octave):
I applied your patch here
(http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/99d1ef340de4).
The stable branch is supposed to be just that, quite stable. The three big
reasons to put a patch on stable are:
1) Wildly incorrect result rendering a function unusable, for example 2*2 =
5.
2) Correct input generates a segfault, that should never happen.
3) Regression, code that used to work no longer does.
Matlab compatibility isn't a criteria we consider. Generally, Matlab is a
moving target so we do our best with each release and then put changes on the
development branch. I know that jwe has been trying to get Octave on a more
frequent release schedule; Not as bad as Firefox or Chrome which are every 6
weeks, but more frequent. The introduction of the GUI is throwing things off
though. I think we should push to have the 4.2 release no more than 6 months
after the GUI release so that the significant number of changes that are
accumulating don't wait for a full year to year and a half.
