Cygwin : octave{,-doc,-devel}-3.0.2-2 and octave-forge-20080831-2

[Marco Atzeri]

Dear all,
forwarded from cygwin-announce at cygwin.com

------------------------------------------- 
Cygwin versions 

20080831-2 of octave-forge and 
3.0.2-2 of octave/octave-doc/octave-devel

have been uploaded as experimental.
 
To view/install them select "Exp" instead of "Curr"
on the "Select Packages" window of setup.exe  
(http://www.cygwin.com/setup.exe)
 
These version are built with the just released
gcc-4.3.2-1 compiler, there is no source 
difference versus the current versions 
built with gcc-3.4.4-3
 
octave{,-doc,-devel}-3.0.2-1 
octave-forge-20080831-1
 
Main advantage, a sensible speed improvement.
It is roughly 5 times faster due to the more
performing c++ exception handling of
cygwin gcc-4 
 
$ time make check
 
(on octave-3.0.2-2 / gcc 4.3.2-1)

real    2m35.885s
user    2m32.605s
sys     0m17.254s
 
(on octave-3.0.2-1 / gcc 3.4.4-3)

real    10m56.949s
user    10m31.365s
sys     0m17.373s
 
I will appreciate any feedback and/or fault report
using them on the cygwin mailing list.
 
Regards
Marco Atzeri
