+Summary of important user-visible changes for general 1.3.1:
+-------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ ** general 1.3.1 is a bug fix release
+
+ ** The `addSwitch' method from inputParser class has been fixed
+
+ ** For Matlab compatibility, optional arguments of the inputParser class
+ will be skipped and followed by ParamValue and Switch arguments if they
+ are a string that does not validate. Note that unlike Matlab, if no
+ validator is given, anything is valid, so giving no validator to an
+ Optional argument will not turn any string on the list of arguments
+ to be considered a ParamValue key.
+
+Summary of important user-visible changes for general 1.3.0:
+-------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ ** The following functions are new:
+ majle
+
+ ** The class `inputParser' class has been implemented with many methods. It
+ attempts to be as compatible with Matlab as possible. However, since
+ classdef is not yet implemented the syntax differs slightly. Unlike the
+ Matlab implementation, this functions return the object. For example:
+
+ obj.method (arguments) # matlab implementation
+ obj = obj.method (arguments) # octave implementation
+
+ The octave implementatino expands on the Matlab one as it has one more type
+ of API, see `help @inputParser/addSwitch'.
+
+ ** The function `unvech' accepts a new argument scale to calculate
+ the upper triangular part of the matrix thus returning non-symmetric
+ matrix.
+
+ ** The function `parcellfun' had the random number generator modifed,
+ a new option to set the verbosity level, and other bugs corrected.
+
+ ** Package is no longer automatically loaded.
