>         I have uploaded the compressed disc images *.dmg including
Octave.app 3.0.3
>         for PPC Mac OS X and i386 Mac OS X to the SourceForge's
server. You can get
>         it from http://octave.sourceforge.net. Please read the Readme.html
file that
>         comes with the *.dmg about 'Installation', 'FAQ',
>         'Limitations', etc.
>         
>         I'm also very happy to see more than 8.300 downloads over the
past 3 months
>         for Octave.app 3.0.2. However, please don't forget that all
this is quite a
>         lot of work and your help is still needed in the development and
contribution
>         to the GNU Octave project.
>         Further, if you like GNU Octave then please also think about of
making a
>         donation to the Octave Core Development team. A description can be
found
>         at http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/funding.html.
>         
>         Recent changes:
>         
>         - the latest stable Octave 3.0.3 sources available have been used
to build
>            these binaries,
>         
>         - Gnuplot.app 4.2.3 can be found in the Extras directory of the
*.dmg.
>            Again, please read the Readme.html file about
'Installation',
>            'Limitations', 'FAQ', etc. for Gnuplot.app of
that
>         compressed disc image.
>         
>         - the checksums of the *.dmg are
>            - MD5 (octave-3.0.3-ppc.dmg) = 29a95fcb883110f3bff3c7c3ac5996cd
>            - MD5 (octave-3.0.3-i386.dmg) =

>

>         - the 3.0.x Octave.app series will be the last series that *I*
also can build
>            for PPC Mac OS X 10.3.x too. The new 3.2.x series needs a more
modern system
>            and therefore requires Mac OS X 10.4.x or higher for both
platforms.
