Welcome

Thank you for installing GNU Octave!

Octave 8.1 is a major release with many new features and improvements. Among -other things, it brings updates for Matlab compatibility, better printing, -support for non-ASCII characters at the command prompt on Windows 8.1 or newer, -and many general improvements since version 7.3.

It is not feature or API compatible with Octave 7. Binaries -(.oct or .mex files) need to be re-built.

Octave 8.2 is a minor release which mainly fixes bugs and regressions found +since the release of version 8.1. It should be feature and API compatible to +Octave 8.1.

Octave 8 is not feature or API compatible with Octave 7 or earlier. Binaries +(.oct or .mex files) need to be re-built when +upgrading from Octave 7 or earlier to this version.

Octave 8 will probably be the last major version which is distributed for Windows 32-bit (or WoW64).

Since Octave 7, the minimum required version of the Windows API is 6.1
