3.0.4 release

[Jaroslav Hajek-2]

hi,

given the success of RC7, I declare the 3.0.4 release as
semi-officially released.
The tarballs are available from
http://artax.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~hajej2am/ulozna/octave/

I'll make an announcement to the help list when John uploads the
tarballs to GNU ftp sites.
John, would you, please?

3.0.4 is the last release of 3.0.x series, containing mostly bugfixes
and minor improvements over 3.0.3.

enjoy

Assuming that this is not a April Fools' Day joke, I send you my thanks
and congratulations!

I will wait until the official announcement by JWE before upgrading the
Debian package.

Rafael's joke sounded to me :-)

I have built unger mingw (gcc-4.3.0-dw2-tdm) and I see a new failed test

   test_string.m .......................................... PASS
130/131  FAIL 1

Summary:

   PASS   4125
   FAIL      1

The test log says:

   ***** test
  charset = setstr (0:127);

  result = zeros (1, 128);

  result (33:127) = 1;
  if (size(findstr (octave_config_info('canonical_host_type'), 'msvc'),2))
    result(10) = 1;
  endif

  assert(all (isprint (charset) == result));
!!!!! test failed
error: assert (all (isprint (charset) == result)) failed


Now this one is mentioned in http://www.nabble.com/3.0.4-RC6-to22703059.html

If I revert this patch, then all tests succed. If I apply it, then the
test fails.

What's the reason for this change?
It would set a TAB character as printable ONLY for msvc builds, but not
for mingw builds.
Why so?

#include <ctype.h>
#include <stdio.h>

main() {
    unsigned int i;
    for( i=0; i<33; ++i ) {
       printf("%d\tisprint=%d\tisspace=%d\tisblank=%d\tisalpha=%d\n",
          i, isprint(i), isspace(i), isblank(i), isalpha(i));
    }
    return;
}

I tested this on gcc-4.3.0-3-dw2-tdm and gcc-4.3.3-1-dw2-tdm and both
return isblank(9)=true, so isprint(9) is true.
(according to ctype.h a character is printable is its alphanumeric,
blank, punctuation or digit)

Tatsuro, do you see different behaviour here?

Sorry for the noise.
I just realised, that this patch does not change octave's behaviour (as
I originally thought), it just changes the interpretation of a test result.
So I don't bother with it.

I applied it by Tatsuro's suggestion:
http://www.nabble.com/3.0.4-RC6-td22703059.html#a22737586

I am fairly ignorant of the windows-related issues, so I just trusted it.

Hello

For my build of octave by mingw on gcc-3.4.5, gcc-4.3.2-dw2-TDM, and gcc-4.3.3-dw2-TDM,
the result is the same as that of the cygwin, perhaps also the same for Unix.

Therefore the different came from difference between gcc and msvc.

Anyway this is not essential issue as Benjamin said, I also think.

Regards

Tatsuro

Can you post it somewhere? I'd like to download it (I'm one of many MSxx haters).

Builds fine under MSVC (with minor patch to integrate C++ versions
of scripts like mkoctfile...).

Only one test failure detected in nchoosek.m, due to tolerance:

  ***** assert (nchoosek(100,45), bincoeff(100,45), -1e-14)
!!!!! test failed
error: assert (nchoosek (100, 45),bincoeff (100, 45),-1e-14) expected
6.1448e+028
but got
6.1448e+028
maximum relative error 8.51718e-014 exceeds tolerance 1e-014

I am now preparing the external libraries and a document for MinGW build.  

MinGW octave binaries will be prepared by Benjamin.
