+octave-ann (1.0.2+dfsg-1) unstable; urgency=low
+
+    Starting with this version, this package does not autoload as it did
+    before.  The reason is that all the SWIG-generated Octave-Forge
+    packages make Octave crash when calling "clear -all" if any of them is
+    loaded.
+
+    In order to activate the package, the user must issue now:
+
+        pkg load ann
