- Update to version 10.2.0:
* Improvements and fixes:
- tensorprod: Fix error for certain tensor/vector combinations
(bug #66950).
- mkoctfile: Skip compiling object file with soversion for
- -mex -c -o (bug #66972).
- Fix segmentation fault in octave-svgconvert when called with
no inputs.

plot (bug #67006).
- Fix sparse matrix assignment with reverse range indexing
(bug #66516).
- ezplot: Enable polar and 2-D plots of constant functions
(bug #66563).
- Check for any kind of file not just regular files (bug

Previous versions accepted integer type inputs but could
produce erroneous outputs due to integer arithmetic and
under/overflow errors (bug #67016).
- annotation: Change "verticalalignment" default value (bug
[#67033]).
- Previously, symbols that are not actually callable by a user
might have been added to the list of callable functions when
loading .mex files. Remove these symbols from that list.
This fixes unloading .mex files with clear.
- Remove break points only from user functions (defined in .m
file). This fixes an infinite recursion issue when
re-loading updated .oct or .mex files.

functions now return true if the number of characters
specified by N is equal to 0 (bug #57879).

libraries (bug #67163).

- Avoid potential integer overflow on Windows.
- Make dialogs shown by inputdlg, listdlg, questdlg, uigetdir,
or uigetfile modal.
* Build system / Tests:
- Add visibility attributes for the octave::base_fcn_handle
class.
- Add visibility attributes to parse tree symbols (bug
[#67056]).
- Add visibility attributes to Array<T> template class member
functions.
- Use correct preprocessor macro when instantiating MArray
template class.
- Disable visibility flags by default.
- Support passing additional flags when linking octave*
executables.
- Single-quote path that might contain unescaped backslashes
in the generation of the doc cache.

header.
- error: Add more built-in self-tests.
- Re-base octave_tools_pie.patch for update.

- Add octave-reproducible-jar.patch: Set jar date to source
modification date-time for reproducible builds (bug #67140).
- Build with GCC 8 for Leap <= 15.6 for c++17 <filesystem>
support; this fixes build failures on 15.6 and older Leap.
- tests: Set Xvfb screen colour depth to 16, which seems the
minimum required for `image/getframe.m` test to not segfault
(bug #65866).
- Call ldconfig_scriptlets on cli package instead of main package.
- Drop use of deprecated install_info post(un) scriptlets.
* Mon May 12 2025 Atri Bhattacharya <badshah400@gmail.com>

- Switch BuildRequires: pcre-devel to pcre2-devel.
- Drop deprecated BuildRequires: update-desktop-files (providing
%suse_update_desktop_file macro that is no longer used).
* Mon Jun 10 2024 Atri Bhattacharya <badshah400@gmail.com>
- Update to version 9.2.0:
* Improvements and fixes:
- hist.m: Add input validation for Y restricting it to 2-D
array (bug #65478). Avoid error when Y value range is very
small (bug #65714).
- cross.m: Add input validation for dim restricting it to a
numeric integer valued scalar (bug #65544, bug #65527).
- getframe.m: Respect pixel ratio (high DPI) of screen with
figure (bug #65540).

[#65559]).
- Correctly scale figure position on screen with DPI scaling
(high DPI).
- profile ('on') now clears any existing profile data as the
documentation states (bug #65595).
- Fix segmentation fault when trying to set breakpoint in
non-existent method of classdef class (bug #65610).

- Avoid crash with Qt6 6.7.0 (bug #65605).
- bar.m: Catch input number validation error.
- Prevent OOM crash or segmentation fault in sort () when dim
equals Inf (bug #65712).
- legend.m: Avoid setting more colors than coordinates for
patch objects (bug #65632).
- inputParser.m: Allow default classdef objects which overload
struct (bug #65667).
- Preserve "position" property of figure when object is
reset() (bug #65750).
- hist.m: Avoid error when y value range is very small (bug
[#65714]).
- barh: Add input validation check for nargin < 1.
* GUI:
- Use first word for options in right-click menu of command
window widget (bug #65518).
- Set DontUseNativeDialog flag as first property in
QFileDialog.
- Explicitly raise non-modal message boxes ensuring
visibility.
- Save and restore splitter state of documentation widget.
- Allow executing new files from built-in editor with F5 (bug
[#65548]).

(bug #65030).
- File dialogs of the built-in editor are now modal.
- Fix dragging editor from main window into floating state
(bug #65725).
* Build system / Tests:
- Avoid overriding save_* variables from outer scope (bug
[#65476]). This fixes an error that might have lead to
overlinking of shared libraries (e.g., .oct files). Consider
rebuilding shared libraries that have been built with Octave
9.1.0.
- Add BIST for is_valid_file_id.m (bug #65543).
- Update metainfo.xml with new fields for AppStream 1.0 (bug
[#65355]).

configure summary.
- Run test program for polymorphic allocators if possible
instead of a simple build check.
- Speed up BIST for the central part of convn with 'full'
shape.
- Require Qt Widgets module when building the GUI (bug
[#65625]).
- bug-53027.tst: Delete temporary file after test is done (bug
[#53027]).
- Avoid build error with GCC 14 when targeting Windows.
- Try to clean up after BIST also in case test failed (bug
[#53027]).
- bar.m, barh.m: Add plotting BISTs (bug #65671).
- Check if C and Fortran compilers accept -fexceptions flag
(bug #65767). This affects building Octave itself from
sources and also how .mex or .oct files are built by mex and
mkoctfile.
* Documentation updates.
- Changes from version 9.1.0:
* Long list, see <https://octave.org/NEWS-9.html>
- Switch to Qt6 library for GUI.
- Tests: Need to pass `RUN_OCTAVE_OPTIONS="--no-gui-libs"` as a
temporary work around to
<https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?65866>

`native_graphics`; it is needed for tests.
