This version fixes a number of bugs reported recently.

This version will be labelled the "testing" (or recommended) version
of Octave on the download page of the Octave web site.

The snapshot is tagged in the usual way (ss-2-1-70) in the CVS
archive.  It is also on the ss-2-1-63-patches branch so we can check
out that branch and apply any patches for any future bug-fix-only
snapshot if that is needed.

As always, if your favorite bug is still not fixed, please report it.
