Subject: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: octave-3.8.1-1
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

New versions 3.8.1-1 of

    octave,
    octave-devel,
    octave-doc

are available in the Cygwin distribution:

CHANGES
This is a mainstream bugfix update release of 3.8.x

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
to run the gui "octave --force-gui"

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
   /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

2) FLTK Graphics toolkit can cause octave to crash
    https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=40469
    so default is still gnuplot.

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.
