Then in future versions, look towards consistency with all the other numerical programs using the twister code (i.e., the link in Comment #15). (Add a note to rand() documentation that "seed"/"state" will be deprecated and things will be considerably different in the future, not only in syntax but also default seed.) Hopefully there aren't too many users who've gotten used to the Octave 4.4.0 'state' behavior for rand(). So maybe it is best to just make Octave 4.4.1 rand() "seed" and "state" consistent with Octave 4.2.2 rand() and consider it deprecated at that point. I'm not sure it is worthwhile trying to aim for compatibility with Matlab v5, as the random number generators for that version apparently aren't statistically in line with randomness and Mathworks suggests not using that anymore.
