[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #59125] v = ver('Octave') missing release date

[Guillaume]

Follow-up Comment #10, bug #59125 (project octave):

I agree with your take on OO programming...

I wonder if the choice of a class is driven by Matlab limitation to
chain-index functions' output.


octave> v = ver().Name
v = Octave
octave> v = ver.Name
v = Octave


vs


>> v = ver().Name
v =
    'MATLAB'
>> v = ver.Name
Unable to resolve the name ver.Name.


With a class, it will just be accessing properties.

Just for fun, ver().Date is '29-Jul-2020' and matlabRelease.Date is
26-Aug-2020 (as a datetime object). The other properties of matlabRelease are
of the string class - we are going to see more and more of these.
