1.4.2 2008-05-20 (yyyy-mm-dd)

   * Removed portability problem which prevented the compilation of 
     arith_coder_mex.c with a non-gcc compiler.

1.4.1 2008-05-16 (yyyy-mm-dd)

   * Added #ifdef IN_OCTAVE and modified arith__coder__gateway.m to 
     allow for compilation with Octave.

   * Removed calls to mxCalloc since they caused "segmentation 
     faults" in Octave (2.9.10).  Do not ask why.  Tested both with 
     Octave 2.9.10 and Matlab 6.5.0

1.4.0 2007-05-15 (yyyy-mm-dd)

   * Added option 'all' to arith_close

1.3.2 2006-10-03 (yyyy-mm-dd)

   * Added 'arith__max_alphabet_size' function and the corresponding 
     internal command in arith_coder_mex.c (and the function in ac.c)

   * Added control over alphabet size in new_arithmetic_decoder.m and 
     new_arithmetic_encoder.m

1.3.1 2006-05-19 (yyyy-mm-dd)
   
   * Corrected a bug which caused a "bad input file" error 

1.3.0 2006-05-07 (yyyy-mm-dd)

   * Added I/O to/from memory.
   * Changed the name of some very low-level functions
   * Added test for memory I/O

1.2.1 2005-11-03 (yyyy-mm-dd)

   * Porting to Octave from a Matlab version
