* Improve the index. * Describe the grammar (grammar.texi). * More examples. * Some things from NEWS that might not be documented yet: * Expressions of the form A(i,j) = x where X is a scalar and the indices i and j define a matrix of elements now work as you would expect rather than giving an error. I am told that this is how Matlab 5.0 will behave when it is released. (assignment) * 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 lists of elements which must be evaluated each time they are needed. (???) * Octave now attempts to continue after floating point exceptions or out-of-memory errors. (???) * If Octave crashes, it now attempts to save all user-defined variables in a file named `octave-core' in the current directory before exiting. (???) * The info reader is now a separate binary that runs as a subprocess. You still need the info reader distributed with Octave though, because there are some new command-line arguments that are not yet available in the public release of Info. (install) * If it is present, Octave will now use an `ls-R' database file to speed up recursive path searching. Octave looks for a file called ls-R in the directory specified by the environment variable OCTAVE_DB_DIR. If that is not set but the environment variable OCTAVE_HOME is set, Octave looks in $OCTAVE_HOME/lib/octave. Otherwise, Octave looks in the directory $datadir/octave (normally /usr/local/lib/octave).
