As some people on this list are already aware, I have been making test
releases of the current Octave sources available for a few weeks now.
I am announcing this new test release on the help-octave mailing list
because I would like to get a few more people involved in testing
before 2.0 is released.

You can get the current test release via anonymous ftp from
ftp.che.wisc.edu in the directory /pub/octave/pre-2.0:

  -rw-r--r--   1 jwe    3263948 Dec  6 16:37 octave-1.94.tar.gz
  -rw-r--r--   1 jwe     102187 Dec  6 16:38 1.93-1.94.patch.gz
  -rw-r--r--   1 jwe      18364 Nov 20 03:35 NEWS

I've configured and compiled this version with

  configure --enable-shared --enable-lite-kernel

on the following systems:

  DEC Alpha, OSF/1 3.2, gcc 2.7.2, and libg++ 2.7.1

  i586, Linux 2.0.0, gcc 2.7.2, libg++ 2.7.14, and libc 5.2.18

Binary versions of the test releases are not generally available.

A list of changes since version 1.1.1 is available in the file NEWS in
the pub/octave/pre-2.0 ftp directory.  This file is also in the
tar file.

Please report any problems to the normal bug-octave mailing list.  If
possible, use the function `bug_report' to report bugs, as it provides
a lot of useful information, and using it will also help to find bugs
in the bug reporting function.

Thanks,

jwe
