+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.
