My Free software activities in April 2017

Octave

Still reviewing the pending bugs and patches for the Image package:

• fixed graythresh Otsu method when images have all the same value (bug #545333) by Avinoam Kalma.
• new function imsharpen (patch #9281) by Avinoam Kalma.
• fixed normxcorr2 returning 0 for regions where image has all the same value (bug #50122) by Hartmut Gimpel.
• fixed computation of ellipse properties (bug #49613) by Avinoam Kalma.
• imreconstruct should clip marker values higher than mask instead of throwing an error (bug #48794)

Somehow got myself responsible for more things. Now also have access to Octave's server where the repos, wiki, and planet is hosted, to help out when needed.

Debian

Start packaging Algorithm::SVM (libalgorithm-svm-perl) which debian-med required to package psrtb.

Changed libbio-eutilities-perl package to remove unnecessary dependencies so it can be easily ported to older versions of Debian.

GtkSourceView

Fixed bug #781538 for correct highlighting of include type of LaTeX commands.
