[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #61098] Function `size` changed in Matlab R2019b

[Nicholas Jankowski]

Update of bug #61098 (project octave):

              Item Group:         Feature Request => Matlab Compatibility

Follow-up Comment #2:

in addition to size, this change apparently affects other functions as well.

looking through release notes going back to 2018:
https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/release-notes.html

2018b

Vector Dimension Argument: Operate on multiple dimensions at a time for
selected reduction functions
These functions now accept a vector dimension argument to specify multiple
operating dimensions at a time, as well as the option 'all' to specify all
dimensions of an array.

all     min
any     mode
bounds  prod
max     std
mean    sum
median  var


2019b

You can now use a vector dimension argument to query multiple array dimension
lengths at a time with the size function. 


A quick google search for vecdim shows it also applies to many other functions
(zscore, range, quantile, skewness, etc...) but unsure if this is the same
implementation as for the ones above.
