Hi
the ismatrix function in Octave will change for the new version 4.0.
Currently, this function returns true if it is a numeric, logical, or
character array with any number of dimensions. The new version will
return true if the object has two dimensions even if it is a cell or
struct array.
WARNING: ismatrix() will return true for a struct and false for
ND numeric arrays.
I quickly grepped Octave Forge for ismatrix and it is used in most of the
packages. Would be nice if this is fixed in the packages
... [show rest of quote]
Done for optim and parallel,
and there were
new released of them before Octave 4.0.
but no new releases yet. Is now already a good time to finally check
packages for Octave 4.0 compatibility? Or should we take the time when
Octaves test tarballs are out?
You are better off to wait until the 4.0 test tarballs arrive. I can't
say, but there > might be further changes.

Is it possible to build a directory for Octave 4.0 packages, and change
accordingly
the urls in get_forge_pkg.m? It will enable testing the packages with the
dev version, and fixing them if needed.
