- Update to version 2.6.2:
* Bug fixes:
+ Fix Named range read errors for .ods files with OCT interface.
+ dbfread.m: open files in little-endian mode (fix by Rafael Laboissière).
+ xlsopen.m: improve filename extension checking (.xlsm, .xlsb and .sxc
were not recognized).
+ xlsclose (private/__COM_spsh_close__.m): add missing output formats for
COM interface (esp. .ods; also .wk3 and .wk4).
+ xlsread.m: implement options argument (it *was* mentioned in the help
but didn't work)
+ Improve character encoding for COM interface (bug #59203); credits to
Markus Mützel
* Code improvements:
+ xlsfinfo.m: implement 'verbose' flag to echo used interface info.
+ io_testscript.m: minimize delay, improve texinfo.
+ csv2cell's maximum line length has been increased to 32768 characters
(bug #58618).
+ Remove autotools (bootstrap, configure). Avoids potential problems and
makes code easier to maintain. Kudos to Kai Torben Ohlhus (bug 357081).
+ Reintroduce xmlread and xmlwrite functions.
NOTE: xmlread may provoke Octave crashes on some Linux systems (see
bug #58004)
