Octave 4 has been out for a while now.
Hi Orion: Yes, I believe Octave-4 is still experimental. Part of the issue is I don't have good access to Octave 4 at this time so I have to rely on other's comprehensive test reports. So far Arjen is the only one that has done that for the Octave-4 case. He ran the equivalent of scripts/comprehensive_test.sh --cmake_added_options "-DDEFAULT_NO_DEVICES=ON -DPLD_ps=ON -DDEFAULT _NO_BINDINGS=ON -DENABLE_octave=ON -DTRY_OCTAVE4=ON" --do_test_interactive no for his Cygwin platform. From the report tarball generated by that script, it appears the octave binding and examples built with no obvious issues, but at run-time there were UTF-8 related errors such as *** PLPLOT ERROR, ABORTING OPERATION *** UTF-8 string is malformed: Фазовый сдви<D0>@, aborting operation so my impression is we are close, but not there yet at least on Cygwin. If you would be willing to run the same script (which I believe will take only ~10 minutes or so because of all the above constraints to limit the test just to Octave and the ps device driver) and send me the report tarball that is generated (typically in ../comprehensive_test_disposeable/comprehensive_test.tar.gz), then I will know a lot more about how mature our Octave-4 support is on Linux. Of course, if you have success, then I would plan to change our build system to only emit the above octave-4 WARNING messages only for non-Linux platforms. Or if you have exactly the same run-time failure as Arjen, and know of a patch to fix it, that would be great as well. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
