Octave-3.0.1 for Windows available

Hi all,

I'm glad to announce that the binary installer of Octave-3.0.1 for
Windows is now available from octave-forge web site
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/octave).

Besides containing octave-3.0.1 and octave-forge-20080429,
the major differences are:
- no separate installers anymore: everything is included into
a single installer, which is about 53MB
- inclusion of OctaveDE GUI front-end as technology preview
(the software is still in alpha stage)

Among the new octave-forge packages, some of them have
been left out of this binary release, mainly because of lack
of support under Windows. They might be provided later on
as add-on's, if I succeed to compile them. Those packages
are: ann, database, ftp, octgpr, multicore and video. Other
unsupported packages are (as in previous releases): engine,
graceplot, optiminterp, parallel, pdb, tcl-octave, vrml, xraylib
and zenity.

Michael.

Good work, but the ginput function from octave-forge that uses a chat
file with windows as popen2 is not used for the gnuplot stream appears
to be broken.

#@!!%$?....

The fix has been applied to octave source (both branches) after
the release. I'll try to backport it and update the package. For the
time being, I switched the release status to "hiddden" on
Sourceforge. I hope to get back with an updated package tomorrow.

Sorry for that.

Michael.

Hi,
Which compiler was used to build this package, mingw or MSVC?

Also, when I try to run octavede.exe, it complains about not finding  
msvcr71.dll.  I copied an existing version of the file into the same  
directory as the executable and now no longer get the error.  I was  
working off a clean install of Windows XP Home, so maybe I needed to  
install some runtime first?

Ugh?

This should not happen. All included files have been compiled with MSVC8,
so I wonder where this dependency comes from (the only module I know that
was using msvcr71.dll was Console2, and I removed it). Do you also have the
problem when starting octave in console mode (without the GUI)?

Michael.

Yes, I get the same error when starting octave in console mode.
