Updated: octave-4.0.3-1

[Marco Atzeri]

New versions 4.0.3-1 of

    octave,
    octave-devel,
    octave-doc

are available in the Cygwin distribution:

CHANGES
Upstream bugfix release
https://www.gnu.org/software/octave/fixes-4-0-3.html

Full changes:
http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/NEWS-4.0.html

GENERAL 4.0.x NOTE
there are 2 octave main binaries
         octave-cli      command line inteface
         octave-gui      graphical interface
         octave          default to graphical version

OCTAVE-FORGE NOTE
You need to install with setup the specific forge package
you are looking for.

The update of the global pkg database is now managed
by cygwin setup during the postinstall phase.
A semaphore system is in place to update the database only when needed
and just one time, also when multiple forge packages are added or removed.

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.

[Marco Atzeri]

I just found a serious bug on 4.0.3.

The forge package previously built with 4.0.1 don't
load with 4.0.3-1.

I am investigating, but likely I will retire the current
4.0.3-1 in short term.

Sorry for the inconvenience, never happened before.
One thing more to test the next time.

Regards
Marco
