Sounds good. Only if there are tests for previous bugs, these should
remain or go into %test sections of corresponding files.

I couldn't figure out which fix to impulse you mean, and if it should
go into NEWS

The NEWS file was ok, the problem you described must have come from
somewhere else (bug in Octave? and/or further NEWS file lying around
somewhere?).

I've pushed a (maybe incomplete) preparation for the new release,
please check if I have written something stupid into NEWS.

Doug, for the future, if a commit addresses a bug report or patch, the
corresponding bug number or patch number should be mentioned in the
header of the commit message.

If you say the change to NEWS is ok (or if you have corrected it) I
can make a release for you if you like.
