Please wait a minute. In SVN some days ago I had already removed any usage of "cell2cell" in the optim package, including leasqr (replaced it by num2cell). And your example with leasqr works for me. So there is no need to increase the version number for the dependency on "miscellaneous" (actually I had _decreased_ this number some days ago, there is only a dependency now due to some older code using a different scheme for option handling). As for increasing the packages version numbers (i.e. of miscellaneous), I had already increased it in SVN directly after the last release, and think we should keep this new number until after the next release. The remaining point is cell2cell and your patch. Since I wrote cell2cell (I left in miscellaneous since it can't be replaced by num2cell in every case (but actually it can be replaced by mat2cell with some effort)), I'd like to look at this issue first. Please wait a few minutes till I'm ready.
