GNU Octave version feature highlights

January 10, 2022

GNU Octave prerelease binaries give the latest features. Note that the latest prerelease may be older than the latest stable release. The NEWS file shows significant feature highlights that are easier to discern than the Changelog.

The Tablicious package gives GNU Octave support for newer Matlab classes including:

• string akin to Python strings–note quite limited and distinct support.
• datetime akin to Python datetime

Octave 7 passes through Matlab arguments validation syntax but does not process the syntax for type casting or checking.
