The first release candidate of Octave 3.6.1 is now available from
alpha.gnu.org in the directory /gnu/octave:
4a8b92ece1fdc92f2e7e17e1c8d23364 octave-3.6.2-rc0.tar.bz2
077b58a9663c0cf4a0450e1c7516e82a octave-3.6.2-rc0.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 3003 3002 15437714 May 11 19:55 octave-3.6.2-rc0.tar.bz2
-rw-r--r-- 1 3003 3002 17994768 May 11 19:57 octave-3.6.2-rc0.tar.gz
Even if you have been building Octave regularly from the Mercurial
archive, it would help if you could build from this release candidate
and report any problems. We could especially use reports for Windows
and OS X systems.
