Re: What is the status of the odepkg at octave forge?

I agree with putting out a new release. And if you want, you can keep an issues / TODO / help wanted list on the Wiki page.

The version in the current development repository does have a few known issues:

 1 - doc format manual does not show properly
 2 - some tests for DAE solvers fail due to unimplemented options

but I think it would make sense to make a release out of it right now anyway,
because installing 0.8.5 in Octave 4.2 is a really bad idea and we cannot mark
it as incompatible with newer Octave versions.

We could mark failing tests as xfail to prevent useless reports.

What do you think?
