• Timing for next bugfix release (middle of April, approx. one month after the 9.1.0 release)
  • bug #65476 (`mkoctfile -p LIBS` includes unnecessary libraries) Done
  • Copyright dates for documentation, and possible MXE-Octave files out of date Done
  • In the future, we'll likely aim for a .2.0 release around a month after the .1.0 release; a .3.0 around 3 month after the .1.0 release; and a .4.0 release about 6 months after the .1.0 release. If necessary, additional releases are possible in between or after these approximate dates, or some releases could be skipped.
