<h2>Welcome</h2>
<p>
Thank you for installing GNU Octave!
</p>
<p>
Octave 4.0 is a major new release with many new features, including a
graphical user interface.
</p>
<p>
A full list of changes can be found in the Release notes from the News menu.
</p>
<h2>BLAS Library selection</h2>
<p>
During the install, a BLAS library was selected. The installer contains 2 BLAS implementations,
the <a href="http://www.netlib.org/blas/">NetLib reference BLAS</a> and
<a href="http://www.openblas.net/">OpenBLAS</a>.
</p>
<p>
Either can be selected after the install by copying librefblas.dll or libopenblas.dll
to libblas.dll in the bin folder of the Octave installation.
</p>
<h2>Included Octave Forge Packages</h2>
<p>
A number of Octave-forge packages have been included with this install of Octave,
however they need to be installed in order to use them.
</p>
<p>
To install:
<ul>
 <li>Start Octave and then open the build_packages.m file found in the src folder
where Octave was installed.</li>
 <li>Run the build_packages.m script to build and install the packages.</li>
</ul>
Packages must then be loaded in order to use them with the <tt>pkg load PACKAGENAME</tt> command.
</p>
<p>
Other packages are available from <a href="http://octave.sourceforge.net/">Octave-Forge</a>
