I investigated a little bit further this issue. Even though both 3.8.2
and 4.0.0 have the same API number (v49+), .oct files compiled with 3.8.2
do not produce the same results as those compiled with 4.0.0. For
instance, with the octave-signal package installed (which contains
remez.oct) the following runs perfectly with 3.8.2:
octave:1> remez (15, [0,0.3,0.4,1], [1,1,0,0]);
However, with 4.0.0, I get:
octave:1> remez (15, [0,0.3,0.4,1], [1,1,0,0]);
error: remez: number of taps must be an integer greater than 3
I am afraid that we will have o declare Breaks relationships for all
packages containing .oct files. What do you think?
