I've been meaning to update the compatibility assessment page with results.

Using a 4.0.0-rc3 compiled for Win64, the results are basically the same, 
although 
Main differences:
tisean doesn’t get stuck and instead has 143 passes, 10 fails.
Octcdf fails - octcdf-1.1.8\nctest.m octave_base_value::print (): wrong type 
argument 'ncfile'
