CYGWIN CHANGES
This is a cygwin bug fix release of 3.4.2-1
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?31641
With a work around at the previous crash when running
-------------------------
graphics_toolkit ("fltk")
x=1:10;
plot(x,x)
print("fltk.png","-dpng")
-------------------------
please test on the various MS system and confirm
that the workaround is effective.
Fully tested on XP-SP3 and recent cygwin snapshots.
KNOWN BUGS
On cygwin-1.7.9 the plotting function is working very bad.
This is due to a fork bug and is not an octave bug.
Any cygwin snapshots after 2011-06-01 solve the issues,
so the next cygwin-1.7.10 will definetely remove the bug.
HOW TO INSTALL
Running cygwin setup, at "Select Packages" window, select
"Exp" instead of "Curr" on the upper right corner.
This selection will make version 3.4.2-2 available
instead of current 3.4.2-1.
DESCRIPTION
The GNU Octave language for numerical computations
