The code has moved way forward since 1.1.3, but there weren't more
releases because the release system of OctaveForge was undergoing a
principal change (no more monolithic releases).
I'm attaching an up-to-date tarball for you (or you can use code from
SVN). A number of new capabilities is added:
querying the length and emptiness of a dict, joining two dicts (with
possible custom action for conflicting keys), and converting dicts to
structs and vice versa.

Please test it and report any problems. I'll try to make a release soon.

regards
