+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.
+
+ ** The function `match' can now accept cell arrays as input.
