this is something that I notice when working with Octave 5 and
Octave 6. As I said in another message I am using a namespace:
+dir1/+dir2
+dir1/file1.m
+dir1/private/file2.m
The path has the location where +dir1 is but not +dir1.
The difference between Octave 5 and 6 is that file1 "knows" file2 in Octave 6
but not in Octave 5.
I suppose that it means that Octave 6 supports private in namespaces but
Octave 5. If that it is the case then I think that it would be worth to refer
this in NEWS.
What do you think?
Actually, I have even simpler (but related) questions:
1) Does Octave officially support these "namespaces" (directories
starting with a "+") ?
I know that the functionality has been implemented to some extent for
some time now, but I failed to locate any mention of this in the Release
Notes or in the manual. Have I missed something ?
2) How are they called in Octave ?
The corresponding functionality in Matlab in called "package", but this
word refers to something entirely different in Octave...
