 <h1> News for Octave Version 2 </h1>
 <hr>
 
+<h2>Summary of changes for version 2.0.3</h2>
+
+<ul>
+<li>The manual has been completely revised and now corresponds much
+    more closely to the features of the current version.
+</li>
+<p>
+<li>The return value for assignment expressions is now the RHS since
+    that is more consistent with the way other programming languages
+    work.  However, Octave still prints the entire LHS value so that
+<pre>
+      x = zeros (1, 2);
+      x(2) = 1
+</pre>
+    still prints
+<pre>
+      x =
+
+        0  1
+
+</pre>
+    but an assignment like
+<pre>
+      z = x(2) = 1
+</pre>
+    sets z to 1 (not [ 0, 1 ] as in previous versions of Octave).
+</li>
+<p>
+<li>It is now much easier to make binary distributions.  See the
+    Binary Distributions section of the manual for more details.
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h2>Summary of changes for version 2.0.2</h2>
+
+<ul>
+</li>
+<li>Octave now stops executing commands from a script file if an error
+    is encountered.
+<p>
+</li>
+<li>The return, and break commands now cause Octave to quit executing
+    commands from script files.  When used in invalid contexts, the
+    break, continue, and return commands are now simply ignored
+    instead of producing parse errors.
+<p>
+</li>
+<li>size ("") is now [0, 0].
+<p>
+</li>
+<li>New functions:
+<dl>
+<dt><b>sleep</b></dt>
+<dd>pause execution for a specified number of seconds</dd>
+<dt><b>usleep</b></dt>
+<dd>pause execution for a specified number of microseconds</dd>

+2.0.1.

-  * The set and show commands for setting and displaying gnuplot
+<p>
+<ul>
+<li>The set and show commands for setting and displaying gnuplot
     parameters have been replaced by gset and gshow.  This change will
     probably break lots of things, but it is necessary to allow for
     compatibility with the Matlab graphics and GUI commands in a
     future version of Octave.  (For now, the old set and show commands
     do work, but they print an annoying warning message to try to get
     people to switch to using gset.)

+<li>Octave has been mostly ported to Windows NT and Windows 95 using
     the beta 17 release of the Cygnus GNU-WIN32 tools.  Not everything
     works, but it is usable.  See the file README.WINDOWS for more
     information.

+</li>
+<p>
+<li>Dynamic linking works on more systems using dlopen() and friends
     (most modern Unix systems) or shl_load() and friends (HP/UX
     systems).  A simple example is provided in examples/hello.cc.
     For this feature to work, you must configure Octave with
     --enable-shared.  You may also need to have a shared-library
     version of libg++ and libstdc++.

+<li>New data types can be added to Octave by writing a C++ class.  On
     systems that support dynamic linking, new data types can be added
     to an already running Octave binary.  A simple example appears in
     the file examples/make_int.cc.  Other examples are the standard
     Octave data types defined in the files src/ov*.{h,cc} and
     src/op-*.cc.

     the same number of elements.

+<li>The interface to the pager has changed.  The new built-in variable
     `page_output_immediately' controls when Octave sends output to the
     pager.  If it is nonzero, Octave sends output to the pager as soon
     as it is available.  Otherwise, Octave buffers its output and
     waits until just before the prompt is printed to flush it to the
     pager.

     executing.  If an error does occur during the execution of BODY,
     CLEANUP can access the text of the message that would have been
     printed in the builtin constant __error_text__.  This is the same
     as eval (TRY, CATCH) (which may now also use __error_text__) but
     it is more efficient since the commands do not need to be parsed
     each time the TRY and CATCH statements are evaluated.

+<li>Octave's parser now does some simple constant folding.  This means
     that expressions like 3*i are now evaluated only once, when a
     function is compiled, and the right hand side of expressions like
     a = [1,2;3,4] are treated as true matrix constants rather than

-<title> Preface to the Octave Manual </title>
-</head>
-
-<body>
-<h2>Preface</h2>
-<p>
-Octave was originally intended to be companion software for an
-undergraduate-level textbook on chemical reactor design being written by
-James B. Rawlings of the University of Wisconsin-Madison and John
-G. Ekerdt of the University of Texas.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-Clearly, Octave is now much more than just another `courseware' package
-with limited utility beyond the classroom.  Although our initial goals
-were somewhat vague, we knew that we wanted to create something that
-would enable students to solve realistic problems, and that they could
-use for many things other than chemical reactor design problems.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-There are those who would say that we should be teaching the students
-Fortran instead, because that is the computer language of engineering,
-but every time we have tried that, the students have spent far too much
-time trying to figure out why their Fortran code crashes and not enough
-time learning about chemical engineering.  With Octave, most students
-pick up the basics quickly, and are using it confidently in just a few
-hours.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-Although it was originally intended to be used to teach reactor design,
-it has been used in several other undergraduate and graduate
-courses in the Chemical Engineering Department at the University of
-Texas, and the math department at the University of Texas has been using
-it for teaching differential equations and linear algebra as well.  If
-you find it useful, please let us know.  We are always interested to
-find out how Octave is being used in other places.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-Virtually everyone thinks that the name Octave has something to do with
-music, but it is actually the name of a former
-<a href="http://www.che.orst.edu/faculty/profs.html">professor</a>
-of mine who wrote a famous textbook on chemical reaction engineering,
-and who was also well known for his ability to do quick `back of the
-envelope' calculations.  We hope that this software will make it
-possible for many people to do more ambitious computations just as
-easily.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-Everyone is encouraged to share this software with others under the
-terms of the
-<a href="http://www.che.wisc.edu/cgi-bin/info2www?(octave)Copying">GNU
-General Public License</a> as described at the beginning of this
-manual.  You are also encouraged to help make Octave more useful by
-writing and contributing additional functions for it, and by reporting
-any problems you may have.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-Many people have already contributed to Octave's development.  In
-addition to John W. Eaton, the following people have helped write parts
-of Octave or helped out in various other ways.
-</p>

-versions of <tt>popen</tt>, <tt>pclose</tt>, <tt>execute</tt>,
-<tt>sync_system</tt>, and <tt>async_system</tt>.</li>
-
-<li><em>Karl Berry</em> (karl@cs.umb.edu) wrote the <tt>kpathsea</tt>
-library that allows Octave to recursively search directory paths for
-function and script files.</li>
-
-<li><em>Georg Beyerle</em> (gbeyerle@awi-potsdam.de) contributed code
-to save values in Matlab's <tt>.mat</tt>-file format, and has provided

-<tt>balance</tt>.</li>
-
-<li><em>Kurt Hornik</em> (Kurt.Hornik@ci.tuwien.ac.at) has written and
-documented many functions for Octave, rewrote and documented the Emacs
-mode for editing Octave code, and has helped tremendously with
-testing.  He has also been a constant source of new ideas for
-improving Octave.</li>
-
-<li><em>Phil Johnson</em> (johnsonp@nicco.sscnet.ucla.edu) has helped
-to make Linux releases available.</li>
-
-<li><em>Michel Juillard</em> (juillard@msh-paris.fr) ported Octave to

-useful bug reports and comments on Matlab compatibility.</li>
-
-<li><em>Rick Niles</em> (niles@axp745.gsfc.nasa.gov) rewrote Octave's
-plotting functions to add line styles and the ability to specify an
-unlimited number of lines in a single call.  He also continues to
-track down odd incompatibilities and bugs.</li>
-
-<li><em>Mark Odegard</em> (meo@sugarland.unocal.com) provided the
-initial implementation of <tt>fread</tt>, <tt>fwrite</tt>,
-<tt>feof</tt>, and <tt>ferror</tt>.</li>

-Octave's image processing functions as well as most of the original
-polynomial functions.</li>
-
-<li><em>R. Bruce Tenison</em> (Bruce.Tenison@eng.auburn.edu) wrote the
-<tt>hess</tt> and <tt>schur</tt> functions.</li>
