3.0.3 is the latest "stable" release.  The current development version
is not released yet, but is available from the version control system,
and a new snapshot was made available earlier in the week.  The copy
of the manual in the current development version has a chapter on
OOP.  You can find the Texinfo sources for that chapter here:

  
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/file/1bd918cfb6e2/doc/interpreter/oop.txi

You can find a PDF version of the manual in the snapshot tar.gz file,
which is available from ftp.octave.org in the directory
pub/octave/bleeding-edge.
