+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
