GNU Octave 4.0.3 via MacPorts<\/p><\/div>\n

Peculiarities<\/h2>\n
After starting Octave I noticed some peculiarities. Most of them are from optical nature:<\/p>\n
\n
The first plot lasts a while after starting Octave. The next one appears immediately. Windows users have the same problem.<\/li>\n
The font size of the command window is even on my non-retina Macbook to small by far. But you can correct this in the settings.<\/li>\n
Labels in buttons, in the editor\u2019s submenu and other widgets are not centered vertically (Screenshot<\/a>).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
In comparison to the GNU\/Linux or even the Windows\u00ae version Octave looks less polished on a Mac via MacPorts. I read that via Home Brew similar effects were observed.<\/p>\n
Improvements in comparison to version 3.8.3<\/h2>\n
In comparison to version 3.8.2 some bugs and peculiarities are removed:<\/p>\n
\n
Plotting works out-of-the-box.<\/li>\n
Octave gets the focus after starting now and is not coated by the current window anymore.<\/li>\n
The error message after closing the settings dialog box is gone.<\/li>\n
The command cd<\/span> seems not to be ignored in the start file ~\/.octaverc<\/span> anymore.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Update Problems from 3.8.2<\/h2>\n
If you have problems from the old 3.8.3 port because of incompatible variants, refer Octave 4 upgrade via MacPorts fails after \u201cport upgrade outdated\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

To install GNU Octave on a Mac is not as easy as on Microsoft Windows\u00ae or GNU\/Linux.<\/p>\n
Ready-to-use App bundles are outdated and\/or do not run reliably. The installation with a package manager as MacPorts or Home Brew does not work out-of-the-box.<\/p>\n
