Octave 2.1.61 is now available for ftp from ftp.octave.org in the
directory /pub/octave/bleeding-edge:

Thanks again to David Bateman for all his hard work to get this
snapshot ready.
This version includes many new features, including integer data types,
inline functions, function handles, concatenation of structs, cell
arrays and user-defined types, and better compatibility with the
leading brand.
Although I believe that 2.1.61 will be quite useable, there have been
many changes and experience says that any number of unexpected problems
could show up just after the tar file hits the ftp site, so 2.1.57
remains the recommended version for now.
I know of one problem that should probably be fixed before we
declare a new recommended snapshot:
* Comparison operations for 64-bit integers will not work correctly
for large values (> 2^53) because we are converting to double to
do the conversions.
and two more that would be nice to fix:
* Things like [int32(1), int16(1)] will fail. Concatenation
operations like this should return an object of the smaller type
(int16 in this case).
* Concatenation of simple matrix objects should use a more memory
efficient method as was done in earlier versions of Octave (but
the new code has the distinct advantage of allowing concatenation
for user-defined types, so we can't simply revert to the previous
method).
As always, if your favorite bug is still not fixed, please report it.
