Hi Jordi
Sounds good, but I think Octave should be released early and often. If all
these features are ready at once, fine. If not, don't hold them back. I propose
that the GUI comes with Octave 4.0 (as it is the most notable difference). If
other features like classdef support or binaries are ready earlier, create
Octave 3.8 or 3.10, 3.12, … If JIT compiling takes longer than the GUI to
complete, release it as Octave 4.2. Just my 0.02 SFr.
Best regards,
Lukas
