-------------------------------------------------------------------
** The dict class has been deprecated in favour of structs which
now support arbitrary strings as valid fieldnames. See the
help of @dict for an example.
** The following functions have been moved from the general package
to the parallel package which includes them since version 2.2.0:
fload pararrayfun __exit__
fsave parcellfun
Summary of important user-visible changes for general 1.3.2:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
** The following functions are new:
tablify
Summary of important user-visible changes for general 1.3.1:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
** general 1.3.1 is a bug fix release
** The `addSwitch' method from inputParser class has been fixed
** For Matlab compatibility, optional arguments of the inputParser class
will be skipped and followed by ParamValue and Switch arguments if they
are a string that does not validate. Note that unlike Matlab, if no
validator is given, anything is valid, so giving no validator to an
Optional argument will not turn any string on the list of arguments
to be considered a ParamValue key.
Summary of important user-visible changes for general 1.3.0:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
** The following functions are new:
majle
** The class `inputParser' class has been implemented with many methods. It
attempts to be as compatible with Matlab as possible. However, since
classdef is not yet implemented the syntax differs slightly. Unlike the
Matlab implementation, this functions return the object. For example:
obj.method (arguments) # matlab implementation
obj = obj.method (arguments) # octave implementation
The octave implementatino expands on the Matlab one as it has one more type
of API, see `help @inputParser/addSwitch'.
** The function `unvech' accepts a new argument scale to calculate
the upper triangular part of the matrix thus returning non-symmetric
matrix.
** The function `parcellfun' had the random number generator modifed,
a new option to set the verbosity level, and other bugs corrected.
** Package is no longer automatically loaded.
