There are two new features: - * A `switch' statement is now available for compatibility with - MATLAB 5. See the Statements chapter in the manual for details. - - * Commands like ls, save, and cd may now also be used as formal - parameters for functions. + * The new built-in variable default_eval_print_flag controls whether + Octave prints the results of commands executed by eval() that do + not end with semicolons. The default is 1. -Version 2.0.5 also includes about 1400 tests (up from about 560) but -more are needed. If you would like to help improve Octave by writing -additional tests, please contact bug-octave@bevo.che.wisc.edu. You -can also help make Octave more reliable by reporting any bugs you find -to bug-octave@bevo.che.wisc.edu. + * The new built-in constant OCTAVE_HOME specifies the top-level + directory where Octave is installed. Octave is a high-level interactive language primarily intended for numerical computations. It is mostly compatible with MATLAB.
