I see the major brakes to a larger user base at the moment being a good windows binary and better matlab compatible graphics, both of which are being worked on.. I think its these rather than any "stable" 3.0 release that will impact the acceptance of Octave..Hi, I was just talking to one of my professors about how much more wonderful Octave is compared to Matlab. And he made the following statements against octave: 1) Octave isn't developed any more. 2) Octave doesn't have any of the toolboxes that matlab has.
An ecosystem for contributed software will also help --- lots of stuff out there will work for octave with a little tweaking, and having an easy way to distribute it will be wonderful. Thank you both for all your work on the package manager.
