[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #57471] streamtube.m should use surface object rather than patch object

[Markus Mützel]

Follow-up Comment #14, bug #57471 (project octave):

Usually, there are only two branches in the Octave repository.
The default branch is for developing the next Octave version. Until a few days
ago that was Octave 6.0.
The stable branch holds the current stable release. Until a few days ago that
was Octave 5.2.
Version with the minor version "0" are for development only. The first
released version will have the minor version "1". Subsequent bug fix release
will have the minor version "2", "3", ...

A few days ago, default was merged to stable in preparation of the upcoming
release of Octave 6.1. Since then, default is Octave 7 and stable is Octave
6.

"streamtube" was initially pushed to default (when it was still Octave 6.0).
Since the merge, it is also in stable.

Usually, changes on the stable branch should only include bug fixes or
documentation improvements.
I'm unsure if renaming and adding functions still counts as fixing bugs. One
might argue that it fixes a Matlab compatibility bug. But "ostreamtube" isn't
a Matlab function. Hence, my uncertainty.
