  The first release candidate for Octave version 5.1 is available at
  ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/octave/.
  
  I've tried it on my vanilla Linux system (./configure, make) and building
  is just fine.  Running 'make check' passes with no failed tests.
  
  Please download and experiment on other systems.

Hi,

I tested Octave 5.0.90 and identified a regression in the copyobj function:

f1 = figure;
plot(0:10)
f2 = figure;
Copyobj(get(f1,'children'),f2);

error: copyobj: =: nonconformant arguments (op1 is 1x1, op2 is 1x0)
error: called from
    copyobj at line 70 column 15

This works fine in Octave 4.x versions and Matlab

Just to be sure, I get an error when using 'Copyobj' as that function name is not defined.  If I change it to lowercase "copyobj" then the command works just fine.

Could you try starting Octave with '-f' so that you are not reading any personal initialization files, and then retry the sample code

f1 = figure;
plot(0:10)
f2 = figure;
copyobj(get(f1,'children'),f2);
