Is there something more critical than this bug fixed? Debian is in
freeze right now, so getting a new version into the next stable version
is difficult, unless:
- the change is small (which ususally rules out a new upstream release)
- the bug is critical.

That's strange. I uploaded 1.0.9 at the end of december and I'm
reasonably sure that was the latest version I found at Sourceforge back
then.
Some information about 'watch' files: we use them to check upstream's
pages automatically for updates. In the case of NaN, Sourceforge still
lists 1.0.9 as the latest release.

It seems the debian watch file for octave-nan is also broken: <br>
