Re: Status of Octave in Windows 10

[Nicholas Jankowski]

At this point i assume we have a good number of people running Octave on Win10 (self included) for some time.  I haven't personally run into any Win10 specific issues.  Do we have outstanding bugs that would warrant keeping the warning if the next release has a  similar test report? (Has anyone compiled/tested the release candidate on windows 10 yet?  If not, I would suggest the release remove the warning. Or modify the warning to simply state that the software is primarily developed in Linux and anyone encountering difficulties under Windows is encouraged to contact the help list or file a bug report.

Hi,

I installed Octave 4.4 using octave-4.4.0-w64_1-installer.exe from https://www.gnu.org/software/octave/download.html. Installer warned saying that Octave on Windows 10 is not tested.

Octave test suite result summary on Windows 10 is below:

Summary:
  PASS                            14975
  FAIL                                0
  XFAIL (reported bug)               36
  SKIP (missing feature)             54
  SKIP (run-time condition)           5

Octave test suite has not reported any failure. Tests are skipped (missing feature) due to missing llvm jit. I feel that the warning in the installer is too extreme, not required and hope it can be removed.

I would like to thank Octave maintainers for doing a great job.

Thanks,
