Hi Jaroslav,

I think these bug fixing changesets are suitable for transplanting to 3.2.4:

http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/737624cb7560 
list_in_columns: Don't SIGFPE when given empty first argument
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/384616240a8f fix internal 
numel on classes
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/3ccd3a03944c Fix fourth 
argument from sscanf
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/9d9f858849c7 Allow and 
ignore extra outargs from user-defined size methods
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/fbf15a0f30f0 Call 
user-defined subsref/subsasgn with 1xN structs instead of Nx1

Furthermore, these enhancements are minor and could be added without 
breaking other things:

http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/6e6d8ea324bc Add property 
FormatSpacing to root
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/2364eebcd644 new root figure 
properties

Best regards,
David
