Octave.app 3.0.5 for Mac OS X

[Thomas Treichl]

Hi,

I have uploaded the compressed disc images *.dmg including Octave.app
3.0.5 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. It is recommended that you upgrade 3.0.4 to
3.0.5 because of a bug reported here:

http://www-old.cae.wisc.edu/pipermail/bug-octave/2009-April/008346.html

This time we nearly had about 1.000 downloads over the past 10 days
for Octave.app 3.0.4. Not a dramatical big number of downloads but
quite notable. 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 3.0.5 sources available have been used to
   build these binaries,

- Gnuplot.app 4.2.5 can be found in the Extras directory of the *.dmg.
   Again, please read the updated Readme.html file about 'Installation',
   'Limitations', 'FAQ', etc. for Gnuplot.app of that compressed disc
   image.

- the checksums of the *.dmg are
   - MD5 (octave-3.0.5-ppc.dmg) = 9eacca2a04db032d2aa86f50f06da92f
   - MD5 (octave-3.0.5-i386.dmg) = 029916cf69b36db3d9219d5dcbd18155

*Note:*
   Octave.app 3.0.5 will be the last release of the 3.0.x GNU Octave
   series. Octave.app 3.0.5 PPC will still work on a Mac OS X 10.3.x
   system that have a G4 processor or better. The releases of the next
   Octave.app series that *I* will build need a more modern system and
   therefore require Mac OS X 10.4.x or higher for both platforms.

Best regards,

   Thomas
