These are a few more:

There are a few other differences in some functions here and there. We
do not shy too much from making Octave functions do more if we find it
useful and doesn't break existing Matlab code. For example, the norm()
function accepts a "columns" parameter to do something that is
frequently desired but Matlab can't do this way.
Sometimes we have to backtrack when we do this. For for instance, I
had to recently modify the perms function which used to take a 2nd
argument. Matlab then added a second argument which did something
different than what we did. Thankfully, nobody seemed to be using our
version of the two-arg call, so it wasn't a big problem to change it
to look like Matlab.
