| Looks great!
|
| At http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/NEWS-3.6.html
|
| 1) Typo "fucntion has bbeen recoded" [note two typos...and don't say
| this out loud in mixed company]
|
| 2) Search the page for "cellstr input". Sometimes "cellstr input"
| appears and sometimes "cellstr inputs" appears, but often it seems just
| the singular 'input' is appropriate.
Rik checked in a change that I think fixes these and I updated the web
page with the NEWS for 3.6.
| 3) For the deprecated functions, perhaps alternate recommended function
| could be included because the functions won't be present to return
| recommended alternates anymore. I.e. (the ? I don't know about, e.g.,
| str2mat really isn't something I used often, cell strings work better):
During the two release cycles when the functions are deprecated but
remain in Octave, I think they give warnings that point to the
alternative functions. But yes, I suppose it could still be useful to
list the alternatives in the news file for those people who are
upgrading from very old versions.
I updated my announcement slightly. Are there any more suggestions
before I send this out?
