[Marco Atzeri]

New versions 3.8.0-2 of

    octave,
    octave-devel,
    octave-doc

are available in the Cygwin distribution:

CHANGES
This is a mainstream first release of 3.8.x series
deployed

Full changes:
http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/NEWS-3.8.html

Main difference: there are now 2 octave main binaries
         octave-cli      command line inteface
         octave-gui      graphical interface
         octave          default to CLI version

for version 3.8.x the CLI version is still the default
it should change in 4.0.x to graphic one

CYGWIN OCTAVE-FORGE CHANGES
the old monolithical octave-forge packages has been splitted
in individual package as upstream.

You need to individual install with setup the one you are
looking for.

On octave package, I added on
  /usr/share/octave/site/m/startup/octaverc
a script that will take to update the global pkg database
any time packages are added or removed
