Thu 09 Aug 2018 05:35:57 PM UTC, comment #7: strmatch has been made a "legacy function", i.e., it should not be used in new code, but there is no fixed schedule for its removal (unlike deprecated functions which do have a set version after which they will be removed).	Rik <rik5>
Tue 02 Jun 2015 04:33:10 PM UTC, comment #6: Retagging release from 4.0.0-rc1 to 4.0.0.	John W. Eaton <jwe>
Wed 18 Mar 2015 05:37:05 PM UTC, comment #5: Thanks very much!	Philip Nienhuis <philipnienhuis>
Wed 18 Mar 2015 03:33:25 PM UTC, comment #4: OK, one more changeset. http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/656cb18bf858 Thanks.	John W. Eaton <jwe>
Wed 18 Mar 2015 02:51:46 PM UTC, comment #3: Thanks John. Before closing this bug, I think you'll also want to remove strmatch from the list of deprecated functions in the NEWS file.	Sébastien Villemot <svillemot>
Wed 18 Mar 2015 02:22:26 PM UTC, comment #2: I backed out those two changesets: http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/55c2d33e6773 http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/e78c0514523d Sorry, I forgot to note the bug report in the commit message.	John W. Eaton <jwe>
Tue 17 Mar 2015 06:03:31 PM UTC, comment #1: +1 At my work the Matlab-addicts have even made strmatchi (case-insensitive strmatch); both forms are used intensively in the code base. So I wasn't glad to see strmatch being deprecated - that'll surely negatively affect Matlab compatibility within a few years. Although I've just converted the io package functions, I see little reason to deprecate strmatch other than to cut down on some maintenance effort.	Philip Nienhuis <philipnienhuis>
Tue 17 Mar 2015 05:17:50 PM UTC, original submission: In changesets edf5d63c82e1 and f9959972949a, the strmatch function was marked as deprecated. At some point, the function was indeed marked to be soon deprecated in ML, but it seems that this decision has been reverted and that the function will be kept in the future. Its usage is only discouraged now. See http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/strmatch.html As a consequence, the function will not be removed from Octave in order to keep ML compatibility. So I think that the aforementioned commits (or at least the first one) should be reverted.	Sébastien Villemot <svillemot>
