Octave version 0.76 is now available for ftp from ftp.che.utexas.edu
in the directory /pub/octave. Compressed and gzipped tar files are
available, as are diffs relative to version 0.75.1.
PLEASE NOTE: We are only distributing gzipped files because we no
longer have room to distribute both compressed and gzipped files.
Binaries for DECstation, SPARCstation, and i486/Linux systems are
available.
Binaries for other systems will be made available as time permits, or
as others make them available to us. If you would like help out by
making binaries available for other systems, please contact
address@hidden
Here's a summary of changes for version 0.76:
* Better run-time error messages. Many now include line and column
information indicating where the error occurred. Octave will also
print a traceback for errors occurring inside functions. If you
find error messages that could use improvement, or errors that
Octave fails to catch, please send a bug report to
address@hidden
* If gplot (or gsplot) is given a string to plot, and the string
does not name a file, Octave will pass the string along to gnuplot
directly. This allows commands like
gplot "sin (x)" w l, data w p
to work (assuming that data is a variable containing a matrix of
values).
* Long options (--help, --version, etc.) are supported.
