+Summary of important user-visible changes for miscellaneous 1.1.0:
+-------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ ** IMPORTANT NOTE:
+ * the function `waitbar' has been renamed `text_waitbar'. Octave core has
+ implemented a Matlab compatible `waitbar' which is imcompatible with the
+ old miscellaneous `waitbar'. If you use the `waitbar' function from the
+ miscellaneous package you have 3 options:
+ 1. replace all `waitbar' calls by `text_waitbar';
+ 2. fix your `waitbar' calls for the new API as per octave core. Note
+ that `waitbar' is graphical tool only;
+ 3. use an old version of the miscellaneous package or modify the source
+ to keep shadowing the octave core `waitbar'.
+
+ ** The following functions are new:
+
+ clip normr text_waitbar
+ normc sample
+
+ ** The following functions have been moved to the IO package:
+
+ cell2csv csvconcat xmlread
+ csv2cell csvexplode xmlwrite
+
+ ** The function `clip' was imported from the audio package.
+
+ ** The functions `apply' and `map' have been deprecated. `cellfun' and
+ `arrayfun' from octave core should be used instead.
+
+ ** The function `partarray' has been deprecated. `mat2cell' from octave core
+ should be used instead.
+
+ ** The function `temp_name' has been deprecated. `tmpnam' from octave core
+ should be used instead.
+
+ ** Multiple bug fixes and increased input check on many functions.
+
+ ** Package is no longer automatically loaded.
+
+ ** improvements to help text.
+
+ ** The function `csv2latex' has been made silent and had bugs fixed.
+
+ ** The function `publish' had bugs fixed.
+
