I just found a serious bug on 4.0.3.
The forge package previously built with 4.0.1 don't
load with 4.0.3-1.
I am investigating, but likely I will retire the current
4.0.3-1 in short term.
Sorry for the inconvenience, never happened before.
One thing more to test the next time.
Regards
Marco

GENERAL 4.0.x NOTE
there are 2 octave main binaries
octave-cli command line inteface
octave-gui graphical interface
octave default to graphical version
OCTAVE-FORGE NOTE
You need to install with setup the specific forge package
you are looking for.
The update of the global pkg database is now managed
by cygwin setup during the postinstall phase.
A semaphore system is in place to update the database only when needed
and just one time, also when multiple forge packages are added or removed.
DESCRIPTION
The GNU Octave language for numerical computations is a (mostly Matlab (R)
compatible) high-level language, primarily intended for numerical
computations. It provides a convenient command-line interface for solving
linear and nonlinear problems numerically.
