Hello,

I have uploaded an octave 3.2.3/mingw32 installer.

benjamin

Release Notes:
==============

This is a binary release of Octave 3.2.3 for Windows platform using
mingw32/gcc build tools. It has been tested on Windows 2K and XP.

Octave-3.2.3_i686-pc-mingw32_gcc-4.4.0_setup.exe

This package contains Octave 3.2.3 and a set of octave-forge packages.
Some packages are missing because external dependency libraries have not
been built using mingw32/gcc yet.

This package includes notepad++ as text editor and gnuplot as graphical
engine. It is bundled with the version of GCC used to compile this package
and a MSYS environment to install octave-forge packages.

This package has been built using GCC-4.4.0 from http://www.mingw.org

The installer can be installed side-by-side with previous versions of
octave/mingw32 and thus does not uninstall any previously installed version
of octave/mingw32.


Changes since Octave/mingw32 3.2.2:
-----------------------------------

*) Build with gcc-4.4.0 from http://www.mingw.org
*) Update to gnuplot 4.3.0-2009-07-08 CVS snapshot
*) for gnuplot, add a workaround patch to SF#2848002
*) build gnuplot with support for wxwidgets terminal. To use it, set the
    environment variable GNUTERM to "wxt", e.g. from within octave execute
       putenv("GNUTERM","wxt")
*) Build Graphicsmagick as relocatable dll and remove dependency on
    environment variable defining installation location
*) Update several dependency libraries
*) Add SSE/SSE2-enabled fftw3 library
*) add the fixed-0.7.10 octave forge package to installer

Fixed Issues in 3.2.3:
----------------------

*) Printing to pdf no longer yields spurious empty pages using gnuplot
*) Pressing CTRL-C within octave should no longer crash gnuplot
*) the command "clear all" no longer segfaults after calling eigs()

Known Issues with octave/mingw32 3.2.3:
--------------------------------------

*) The command "clear all" results in a segfault.
    This is currently triggered by the following octave-forge packages:
       windows
       octcdf
       communications
       ga (depends on communications)

    The error occurs only if any of these packages is marked "-auto"
    i.e. is loaded at startup.

*) Installing octave respectively running octave from a path which contains
    spaces breaks the installation of octave-forge packages using octave's
    package manager pkg.m.
    It this therefore highly recommended to install octave to a path WITHOUT
    spaces. Octave will work if installed to a path including spaces, 
and all
    packages added at the installation will work if installed into a path
    containing spaces, HOWEVER you will currently NOT be able to install
    packages using octave's package manager at a later time if Octave was
    installed to a directory containing spaces.

*) "make check" results:

    Summary:

     PASS   5754
     FAIL      3

    octave-3.2.3\src\data.cc  PASS  506/509  FAIL 3
