Details:

With a recent development tip (20759:2892f62fb37c)


octave:4> x = 1:5
x =

   1   2   3   4   5

octave:5> x(-1)
error: x(-1); subscripts must be either integers 1 to (2^31)-1 or logicals
octave:5> x(10)
error: x(10); out of bound 5


The same code run on the default branch results in


octave:3> x = 1:5
x =

   1   2   3   4   5

octave:4> x(-1)
error: subscript indices must be either positive integers less than 2^31 or
logicals
octave:4> x(10)
error: A(I): index out of bounds; value 10 out of bound 5
octave:4> diary off


Maybe the change is intended, but I prefer using ':' to break parts of the
error message up rather than ';'.
