New versions 3.8.2-1 of
octave,
octave-devel,
octave-doc
are available in the Cygwin distribution:
CHANGES
This is a mainstream bugfix release of 3.8.x
The FLTK Graphics toolkit crash on cygwin has been solved
Full changes:
http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/NEWS-3.8.html
GENERAL 3.8.x NOTE
Main difference from 3.6.x:
there are now 2 octave main binaries
octave-cli command line inteface
octave-gui graphical interface
octave default to CLI version
to run the gui use "octave --force-gui"
for version 3.8.x the CLI version is still the default but very
functional and the default should change in 4.0.x to graphic one.
CYGWIN OCTAVE-FORGE CHANGES
The old monolithical octave-forge package has been split
in individual packages 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 care to update the global pkg database
/usr/share/octave/octave_packages
any time packages are added or removed.
KNOW BUGS on CYGWIN
1) If the user have no admin authorization, the creation and update of
/usr/share/octave/octave_packages
can fail.
Workaround:
with a admin user run, from inside octave,
pkg rebuild -noauto -global
and from shell
chmod 666 /usr/share/octave/octave_packages
DESCRIPTION
The GNU Octave language for numerical computations is a (mostly Matlab (R)
compatible) high-level language, primarily intended for numerical
computations. It provides a convenient command-line interface for solving
linear and nonlinear problems numerically.
