Did I leave the impression I was POINTING them to the unstable version? I did not think so. Let me say again: I only pointed students to the webpage http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/download.html and left it to them to navigate from there to the appropriate version of Octave for their respective OSes. When I went through the process myself I downloaded the unstable version (yes, I have contributed to Octave, quite recently in fact, and plan to continue doing so), but I suspect, as was true with the one student whom I quoted, that most will be scared off from an unstable version and select a stable one when their browsing gets them to this page: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2888&package_id=40078.
