If you have an unpatched octave-4.2.1 version, you must have given the
command

warning ("on", "Octave:language-extension")

for your octave session somehow, maybe in a startup file. If it's in a
startup file, either delete it or revert it by

warning ("off", "Octave:language-extension")

As for what this warning means, type

warning_ids

from the octave prompt.
