Octave.app 5.1.0 beta 3 is out.

https://github.com/octave-app/octave-app/releases/tag/v5.1.0-beta3

This one is built against Qt 5.11 instead of Qt 5.12, and may fix the stability/freezing issues we've had with 5.1.0 so far.

Octave 4.4.1-u1 beta 2 is out.

https://github.com/octave-app/octave-app/releases/tag/v4.4.1-u1-beta2

This one includes a bundled JDK so it no longer requires the user to install a JDK separately. Also a couple cosmetic improvements.

Octave.app 5.2.0 beta 1 is out.

https://github.com/octave-app/octave-app/releases/tag/v5.2.0-beta1

This is the first beta for Octave 5.2.0. It's built against the new Qt 5.14.1, which may help with the stability/freeziness issues we've been struggling with. Works okay for me so far.

Octave.app 8.4.0 beta 1 is out. Now with native Apple Silicon builds!

https://github.com/octave-app/octave-app/releases/tag/v8.4.0_beta1

There are special installation instructions you must follow for this build, due to security stuff in newer macOS releases. Please see the installation instructions on the release page. If you don't follow them, the installed app won't launch. Sorry for the inconvenience.

The first Octave.app 9.x prerelease is out: Octave.app 9.1.0 beta1.

https://github.com/octave-app/octave-app/releases/tag/v9.1.0_beta1

This is our first 9.x build, and we're still working on getting 8.4.0 out, so it may be a while before this one goes GM. We're also trying to migrate it from Qt 5 to Qt 6 for 9.x, which isn't working yet, but there's some hope.

I created a separate developer-oriented #289 "Octave.app Dev News" issue, to split out developer-oriented news from end-user-facing announcements. Future announcements of betas and other prereleases will be posted there instead. Only "GM" ("golden master" or final) releases will continue to be announced on this here issue. This should cut down on noise for end users who only care about "real" releases, and avoid having end users accidentally install preview releases that aren't yet ready for prime time and may be buggy.

If you're a developer working on Octave.app or packages that want to support it, or you're a power user who wants to help test new Octave.app releases while they're under development, please subscribe to #289 to be notified of maintainer-oriented prereleases.

Octave.app 9.1 and 9.2 are out!

These are the first Octave.app releases of the 9.x series. Version 9.2 is recommended.

Special Installation Instructions - REQUIRED!

TL;DR: Use xattr -c to un-quarantine the DMG before opening it.

After downloading the DMG, before opening it (double-clicking it) to do the installation, you must first "un-quarantine" it. Open Terminal and run xattr -c ~/Downloads/Octave-*.dmg. Then you can double-click the DMG file and proceed to install it as usual. If you don't do this extra xattr -c step, it will probably just give you an "app is damaged" error instead of launching when you try to run it from /Applications. Sorry; working on fixing this, but not super hopeful. See #244 – App "damaged" for GitHub downloads.
