Concerning the new version 3.8, would like to know if there is a firm date

No. We don't do firm dates. We try, but it's impossible to have firm
dates. But it should happen very soon. Probably this week.

However, if you're absolutely unable to wait another minute, you can
try this unofficial build:

I downloaded the .exe installer and after all was done I learned that
"pkg -forge install packagename" would not work.  Couldn't install
any packages.

I can't confirm it. Works fine with 3.8.0-5 and 3.8.1-1 here on Windows 7.

 

 I wonder whatever happened.  I then ran Octave with
administrator privileges and packages still wouldn't install.  The
GUI works beautifully though.

I also wonder if isn't possible to configure the GUI to run 3.6.4
on it.  That would be great, too. :-)

My computer has Windows 7 Professional.

Thanks,

F.
