10118 | 290 ** The `lookup' function was extended to be more useful for |
291 general-purpose binary searching. Using this improvement, the | |
292 ismember function was rewritten for significantly better | |
293 performance. | |
9352 | 294 |
295 ** Real, integer and logical matrices, when used in indexing, will now | |
296 cache the internal index_vector value (zero-based indices) when | |
297 successfully used as indices, eliminating the conversion penalty for | |
10118 | 298 subsequent indexing by the same matrix. In particular, this means it |
299 is no longer needed to avoid repeated indexing by logical arrays | |
300 using find for performance reasons. | |
9888 | 301 |
10118 | 302 ** Logical matrices are now treated more efficiently when used as |
303 indices. Octave will keep the index as a logical mask unless the | |
304 ratio of true elements is small enough, using a specialized | |
305 code. Previously, all logical matrices were always first converted | |
306 to index vectors. This results in savings in both memory and | |
307 computing time. | |
9480 | 308 |
10118 | 309 ** The `sub2ind' and `ind2sub' functions were reimplemented as compiled |
310 functions for better performance. These functions are now faster, | |
311 can deliver more economized results for ranges, and can reuse the | |
312 index cache mechanism described in previous paragraph. | |
313 | |
314 ** The built-in function equivalents to associative operators (`plus', | |
315 `times', `mtimes', `and', and `or') have been extended to accept | |
316 multiple arguments. This is especially useful for summing | |
317 (multiplying, etc.) lists of objects (of possibly distinct types): | |
9408 | 318 |
9449 | 319 matrix_sum = plus (matrix_list{:}); |
320 | |
10118 | 321 ** An FTP object type based on libcurl has been implemented. These |
322 objects allow ftp connections, downloads and uploads to be | |
323 managed. For example, | |
9880 | 324 |
10118 | 325 fp = ftp ("ftp.octave.org); |
326 cd (fp, "gnu/octave"); | |
327 mget (fp, "octave-3.2.3.tar.bz2"); | |
328 close (fp); | |
9880 | 329 |
10118 | 330 ** The default behavior of `assert (observed, expected)' has been |
331 relaxed to employ less strict checking that does not require the | |
332 internals of the values to match. This avoids previously valid | |
333 tests from breaking due to new internal classes introduced in future | |
334 Octave versions. | |
9449 | 335 |
336 For instance, all of these assertions were true in Octave 3.0.x | |
337 but false in 3.2.x due to new optimizations and improvements: | |
338 | |
339 assert (2*linspace (1, 5, 5), 2*(1:5)) | |
340 assert (zeros (0, 0), []) | |
341 assert (2*ones (1, 5), (2) (ones (1,5))) | |
9462 | 342 |
10118 | 343 ** The behavior of library functions `ismatrix', `issquare', and |
344 `issymmetric' has been changed for better consistency. | |
9873 | 345 |
10292 | 346 * The `ismatrix' function now returns true for all numeric, |
11562

|
347 logical and character 2-D or N-D matrices. Previously, `ismatrix' |
10292 | 348 returned false if the first or second dimension was zero. |
349 Hence, `ismatrix ([])' was false, | |
350 while `ismatrix (zeros (1,2,0))' was true. | |
9873 | 351 |
10118 | 352 * The `issquare' function now returns a logical scalar, and is |
353 equivalent to the expression | |
354 | |
355 ismatrix (x) && ndims (x) == 2 && rows (x) == columns (x) | |
356 | |
357 The dimension is no longer returned. As a result, `issquare ([])' | |
358 now yields true. | |
9873 | 359 |
10118 | 360 * The `issymmetric' function now checks for symmetry instead of |

|
361 Hermitianness. For the latter, ishermitian was created. Also, |
10118 | 362 logical scalar is returned rather than the dimension, so |
363 `issymmetric ([])' is now true. | |
9873 | 364 |
10118 | 365 ** Function handles are now aware of overloaded functions. If a |
366 function is overloaded, the handle determines at the time of its | |
367 reference which function to call. A non-overloaded version does not | |
368 need to exist. | |
9873 | 369 |
10118 | 370 ** Overloading functions for built-in classes (double, int8, cell, |
371 etc.) is now compatible with Matlab. | |
9408 | 372 |
10323 | 373 ** Function handles can now be compared with the == and != operators, |
374 as well as the `isequal' function. | |
375 | |
10118 | 376 ** Performance of concatenation (using []) and the functions `cat', |
377 `horzcat', and `vertcat' has been improved for multidimensional | |
378 arrays. | |
10117 | 379 |
9547 | 380 ** The operation-assignment operators +=, -=, *= and /= now behave more |
10118 | 381 efficiently in certain cases. For instance, if M is a matrix and S a |
382 scalar, then the statement | |
9547 | 383 |
10118 | 384 M += S; |
9547 | 385 |
10118 | 386 will operate on M's data in-place if it is not shared by another |
387 variable, usually increasing both time and memory efficiency. | |
9547 | 388 |
9558 | 389 Only selected common combinations are affected, namely: |
9547 | 390 |
391 matrix += matrix | |
392 matrix -= matrix | |
9558 | 393 matrix .*= matrix |
394 matrix ./= matrix | |
395 | |
9547 | 396 matrix += scalar |
397 matrix -= scalar | |
398 matrix *= scalar | |
399 matrix /= scalar | |
9558 | 400 |
9552 | 401 logical matrix |= logical matrix |
402 logical matrix &= logical matrix | |
9547 | 403 |
10118 | 404 where matrix and scalar belong to the same class. The left-hand |
405 side must be a simple variable reference. | |
9888 | 406 |
10118 | 407 Moreover, when unary operators occur in expressions, Octave will |
408 also try to do the operation in-place if it's argument is a | |

|
409 temporary expression. |
9589 | 410 |
10118 | 411 ** The effect of comparison operators (<, >, <=, and >=) applied to |
412 complex numbers has changed to be consistent with the strict | |
413 ordering defined by the `max', `min', and `sort' functions. More | |
414 specifically, complex numbers are compared by lexicographical | |
415 comparison of the pairs `[abs(z), arg(z)]'. Previously, only real | |
14188 | 416 parts were compared; this can be trivially achieved by converting |
417 the operands to real values with the `real' function. | |
9547 | 418 |
10118 | 419 ** The automatic simplification of complex computation results has |
420 changed. Octave will now simplify any complex number with a zero | |
421 imaginary part or any complex matrix with all elements having zero | |
422 imaginary part to a real value. Previously, this was done only for | |
423 positive zeros. Note that the behavior of the complex function is | |
424 unchanged and it still produces a complex value even if the | |
425 imaginary part is zero. | |
9826 | 426 |
10118 | 427 ** As a side effect of code refactoring in liboctave, the binary |
428 logical operations are now more easily amenable to compiler | |
429 optimizations and are thus significantly faster. | |
9595 | 430 |
10118 | 431 ** Octave now allows user-defined `subsasgn' methods to optimize out |
432 redundant copies. For more information, see the manual. | |
9595 | 433 |
10453 | 434 ** More efficient matrix division handling. Octave is now able to |
10118 | 435 handle the expressions |

439 V / M |
9664 | 440 |
10118 | 441 (M is a matrix and V is a vector) more efficiently in certain cases. |
442 In particular, if M is triangular, all three expressions will be | |
443 handled by a single call to xTRTRS (from LAPACK), with appropriate | |
10453 | 444 flags. Previously, all three expressions required a physical |
10118 | 445 transpose of M. |
9664 | 446 |
10118 | 447 ** More efficient handling of certain mixed real-complex matrix |
448 operations. For instance, if RM is a real matrix and CM a complex | |
449 matrix, | |
9664 | 450 |
10118 | 451 RM * CM |
9664 | 452 |
453 can now be evaluated either as | |
454 | |
455 complex (RM * real (CM), RM * imag (CM)) | |
456 | |
457 or as | |
458 | |
459 complex (RM) * CM, | |
460 | |
10453 | 461 depending on the dimensions. The first form requires more |
462 temporaries and copying, but halves the FLOP count, which normally | |
463 brings better performance if RM has enough rows. Previously, the | |
464 second form was always used. | |
9664 | 465 |
11111 | 466 Matrix division is similarly affected. |
9664 | 467 |
10118 | 468 ** More efficient handling of triangular matrix factors returned from |
469 factorizations. The functions for computing QR, LU and Cholesky | |
470 factorizations will now automatically return the triangular matrix | |
471 factors with proper internal matrix_type set, so that it won't need | |
472 to be computed when the matrix is used for division. | |
9717 | 473 |
10118 | 474 ** The built-in `sum' function now handles the non-native summation |
475 (i.e., double precision sum of single or integer inputs) more | |
476 efficiently, avoiding a temporary conversion of the whole input | |
477 array to doubles. Further, `sum' can now accept an extra option | |
478 argument, using a compensated summation algorithm rather than a | |
479 straightforward sum, which significantly improves precision if lots | |
480 of cancellation occurs in the summation. | |
9717 | 481 |
10118 | 482 ** The built-in `bsxfun' function now uses optimized code for certain |
483 cases where built-in operator handles are passed in. Namely, the | |
484 optimizations concern the operators `plus', `minus', `times', | |
485 `ldivide', `rdivide', `power', `and', `or' (for logical arrays), | |
486 the relational operators `eq', `ne', `lt', `le', `gt', `ge', and the | |
487 functions `min' and `max'. Optimizations only apply when both | |
488 operands are of the same built-in class. Mixed real/complex and | |
489 single/double operations will first convert both operands to a | |
490 common type. | |
9745 | 491 |
10118 | 492 ** The `strfind' and `strrep' functions now have compiled |
493 implementations, facilitating significantly more efficient searching | |
494 and replacing in strings, especially with longer patterns. The code | |
495 of `strcat' has been vectorized and is now much more efficient when | |
496 many strings are concatenated. The `strcmpi' and `strncmpi' | |
497 functions are now built-in functions, providing better performance. | |

10453 | 504 ** Matlab-style ignoring input and output function arguments using |
11111 | 505 tilde (~) is now supported. Ignored output arguments may be |
506 detected from a function using the built-in function `isargout'. | |
507 For more details, consult the manual. | |

510 been removed. | |

516 Matlab-compatible. | |

519 Octave:int-convert-non-int-val, Octave:int-convert-overflow, | |
11111 | 520 Octave:int-math-overflow) have been removed. |
10406 | 521 |
10453 | 522 ** rem and mod are now built-in functions. They also handle integer |
523 types efficiently using integer arithmetic. | |
10437 | 524 |
10536 | 525 ** Sparse indexing and indexed assignment has been mostly rewritten. |
526 Since Octave uses compressed column storage for sparse matrices, | |
527 major attention is devoted to operations manipulating whole columns. | |
528 Such operations are now significantly faster, as well as some other | |
529 important cases. | |
530 | |
531 Further, it is now possible to pre-allocate a sparse matrix and | |
532 subsequently fill it by assignments, provided they meet certain | |
533 conditions. For more information, consult the `spalloc' function, | |
534 which is no longer a mere dummy. Consequently, nzmax and nnz are no | |
11111 | 535 longer always equal in Octave. Octave may also produce a matrix |
536 with nnz < nzmax as a result of other operations, so you should | |

537 consistently use nnz unless you really want to use nzmax (i.e., the |
11111 | 538 space allocated for nonzero elements). |
10536 | 539 |
540 Sparse concatenation is also affected, and concatenating sparse | |
541 matrices, especially larger collections, is now significantly more | |
11111 | 542 efficient. This applies to both the [] operator and the |
10536 | 543 cat/vertcat/horzcat functions. |
544 | |
11111 | 545 ** It is now possible to optionally employ the xGESDD LAPACK drivers |
14188 | 546 for computing the singular value decomposition using svd, instead |
11111 | 547 of the default xGESVD, using the configuration pseudo-variable |
548 svd_driver. The xGESDD driver can be up to 6x times faster when | |
549 singular vectors are requested, but is reported to be somewhat less | |
10639 | 550 robust on highly ill-conditioned matrices. |
551 | |
552 ** Configuration pseudo-variables, such as page_screen_output or | |
553 confirm_recursive_rmdir (or the above mentioned svd_driver), now | |
554 accept a "local" option as second argument, requesting the change | |

768 __gnuplot_show__, __gnuplot_replot__, __gnuplot_splot__, |
8737 | 769 __gnuplot_save_data__ and __gnuplot_send_inline_data__ have been |
770 removed from Octave. These function were incompatible with the | |
771 high level graphics handle code. | |
6329 | 772 |
8885 | 773 ** The Control, Finance and Quaternion functions have been removed. |
774 | |
775 These functions are now available as separate packages from | |
776 | |
777 http://octave.sourceforge.net/packages.html | |
778 | |
779 and can be reinstalled using the Octave package manager (see | |
780 the pkg function). | |
781 | |
782 ** Specific sparse matrix functions removed. | |
783 | |
784 The following functions, which handled only sparse matrices have | |
785 been removed. Instead of calling these functions directly, you | |
786 should use the corresponding function without the "sp" prefix. | |
8737 | 787 |
8885 | 788 spatan2 spcumsum spkron spprod |
789 spchol spdet splchol spqr | |
790 spchol2inv spdiag splu spsum | |
791 spcholinv spfind spmax spsumsqk | |
792 spcumprod spinv spmin | |
793 | |
794 ** Improvements to the debugger. | |
795 | |
796 The interactive debugging features have been improved. Stopping | |
797 on statements with dbstop should work correctly now. Stepping | |
798 into and over functions, and stepping one statement at a time | |
799 (with dbstep) now works. Moving up and down the call stack with | |
800 dbup and dbdown now works. The dbstack function is now available | |
801 to print the current function call stack. The new dbquit function | |
802 is available to exit the debugging mode. | |
803 | |
804 ** Improved traceback error messages. | |
805 | |
806 Traceback error messages are much more concise and easier to | |
807 understand. They now display information about the function call | |
808 stack instead of the stack of all statements that were active at | |
809 the point of the error. | |

8737 | 813 Octave now includes OOP features and the user can create their own |
814 class objects and overloaded functions and operators. For | |
815 example, all methods of a class called "myclass" will be found in | |
816 a directory "@myclass" on the users path. The class specific | |
817 versions of functions and operators take precedence over the | |
818 generic versions of these functions. | |
819 | |
820 New functions related to OOP include | |
7189 | 821 |
8737 | 822 class inferiorto isobject loadobj methods superiorto |
823 | |
824 See the Octave manual for more details. | |
7038 | 825 |
8747 | 826 ** Parsing of Command-style Functions. |
827 | |
828 Octave now parses command-style functions without needing to first | |
829 declare them with "mark_as_command". The rules for recognizing a | |
830 command-style function calls are | |
831 | |
832 * A command must appear as the first word in a statement, | |
833 followed by a space. | |
834 | |
835 * The first character after the space must not be '=' or '(' | |
836 | |
837 * The next token after the space must not look like a binary | |
838 operator. | |
839 | |
840 These rules should be mostly compatible with the way Matlab parses | |
841 command-style function calls and allow users to define commands in | |
842 .m files without having to mark them as commands. | |
843 | |
844 Note that previous versions of Octave allowed expressions like | |
845 | |
846 x = load -text foo.dat | |
847 | |
848 but an expression like this will now generate a parse error. In | |
849 order to assign the value returned by a function to a variable, | |
850 you must use the normal function call syntax: | |
851 | |
852 x = load ("-text", "foo.dat"); | |
853 | |
8737 | 854 ** Block comments. |
855 | |
8747 | 856 Commented code can be between matching "#{" and "#}" or "%{" and |
857 "%}" markers, even if the commented code spans several line. This | |
858 allows blocks code to be commented, without needing to comment | |
859 each line. For example, | |
5814 | 860 |
8747 | 861 function [s, t] = func (x, y) |
862 s = 2 * x; | |
863 #{ | |
864 s *= y; | |
865 t = y + x; | |
866 #} | |

922 conversions between cells, structs and cs-lists. This usually reduces |
8755 | 923 both time and memory consumption. |
9128 | 924 Also, Octave will now attempt to detect and optimize usage of a vector |
925 as a stack, when elements are being repeatedly inserted at/removed from | |
926 the end of the vector. | |
8755 | 927 |
8738 | 928 ** Improved performance for reduction operations. |

934 | |
935 The performance of sort has been improved, especially when sorting | |
10453 | 936 indices are requested. An efficient built-in issorted |
937 implementation was added. The sortrows function now uses a more | |

938 efficient algorithm, especially in the homogeneous case. The lookup |
10453 | 939 function is now a built-in function performing a binary search, |

941 cell arrays of strings. | |

947 subtracting a scalar, and multiplying by a scalar. Ranges with zero |
10453 | 948 increment are allowed and can be constructed using the built-in |
949 function `ones'. | |
9006 | 950 |
951 ** Various performance improvements. | |
952 | |
10453 | 953 Performance of a number of other built-in operations and functions |
954 was improved, including: | |
9006 | 955 |
956 * logical operations | |
957 * comparison operators | |
958 * element-wise power | |
959 * accumarray | |
960 * cellfun | |
961 * isnan | |
962 * isinf | |
963 * isfinite | |
964 * nchoosek | |
965 * repmat | |
966 * strcmp | |
967 | |
8737 | 968 ** 64-bit integer arithmetic. |
969 | |
970 Arithmetic with 64-bit integers (int64 and uint64 types) is fully | |
971 supported, with saturation semantics like the other integer types. | |
972 Performance of most integer arithmetic operations has been | |
973 improved by using integer arithmetic directly. Previously, Octave | |
974 performed integer math with saturation semantics by converting the | |
975 operands to double precision, performing the operation, and then | |
976 converting the result back to an integer value, truncating if | |
977 necessary. | |
978 | |
8885 | 979 ** Diagonal and permutation matrices. |
980 | |
981 The interpreter can now treat diagonal and permutation matrices as | |
982 special objects that store only the non-zero elements, rather than | |
983 general full matrices. Therefore, it is now possible to construct | |
984 and use these matrices in linear algebra without suffering a | |
985 performance penalty due to storing large numbers of zero elements. | |
986 | |
987 ** Improvements to fsolve. | |
988 | |
989 The fsolve function now accepts an option structure argument (see | |
990 also the optimset function). The INFO values returned from fsolve | |
991 have changed to be compatible with Matlab's fsolve function. | |
992 Additionally, fsolve is now able to solve overdetermined systems, | |
993 complex-differentiable complex systems, systems with a sparse | |
994 jacobian and can work in single precision if given single precision | |

1000 matrix in a single call, as well as general matrix p-norms. | |

1002 ** New functions for computing some eigenvalues or singular values. | |
1003 | |

1053 character strings. For example | |
1054 | |
1055 strcat ('foo ', 'bar') | |
