[Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#515743: octave3.1: 3.1.51 and 3.1.52

[Francesco =?UTF-8?Q?Potort=EC?=]

Package: octave3.1
Version: 3.1.51-3
Severity: normal

Okay, I cannot manage to find the time to be of any more help, sorry,
not even to send to Octave-dev the long list of manual bugs I have
found, and not even to compile it by myself.  At least, I manage to
track your changes to Debian's pool for Octave :)

I am currently using the 3.1.51-3 version.  I see that you have removed
it from pool, fortunately I kept a backup, because this one works well
for me (amd64).

3.1.52-1 and 3.1.52-2 have problems with plotting when printing to png
or svg.  In the former, antialising apparently does not work, so both
lines and numbers are ugly.  In both, symbols are maybe twice as big as
they used to be, this is true at least for circles and stars.

This is Gnuplot 4.2.4-4.

Thanks for all the good work.
