I just checked in a single fix for problems with "axis equal" that resolved 
10 different bug reports.  See 
https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/a7dfb00d5bf5.  I'm pretty
sure 
that's a new record. 

Such impressive fix (chapeau!), why did you push it to the default branch,
where it will have to wait a year or so, and not to the stable branch?

Thanks,

It's too big a change to implement this close to the release.  The only testing has been my own, which was extensive (I dumped all of the plot demos at least four times and compared to both previous versions of Octave and Matlab), but probably still not sufficient.  Ideally, it gets some testing on the development branch and if everything is fine it could be backported to stable for the first bug fix release.
