Hi,

**** published packages ****

I just uploaded the following newly released packages to octave-forge

octcdf-1.0.17
general 1.2.0
parallel-2.0.1

the following packages have been submitted for publication but need  
minor fixes before uploading

msh-1.0.0
bim-1.0.0
ocs-0.1.0
fpl-1.0.0

**** new release system ****

As expected, activating the new web site has spawned the attention  
required to get the testing
started and all the minor glitches that still need to be fixed are  
being shown, some small things I have noticed:

1) doc strings for class methods get displayed incorrectly
see, e.g. http://octave.sourceforge.net/general/function/@dict/dict.html
this is because the headers of the html generated by generate_html  
contains relative links like:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../../octave-forge.css" />
<script src="../../fixed.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="../../javascript.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="../../favicon.ico" />

which are incorrect in this case as the file is in
http://octave.sourceforge.net/general/function/@dict
rather than
http://octave.sourceforge.net/general/function/
2) Although I am monitoring the package-releases forum, I expect most  
users are not and, furthermore,
old messages are being automatically purged from that forum, so I  
think it makes no sense to publish there the news about
and release notes for new packages, I'd rather recommend posting such  
information to this list

3) The NEWS file is not automatically kept in sync with the index page,
I'll fix this by inserting a php script to generate the NEWS file as  
soon as I have time
(of course if someone else beats me at this I won't be disappointed)
in the index page as soon

All the best,
c.
