Octave has been released new version for Visual Studio. Lots of new features are added in this version. Fast startup,First gui front end,new plot toolkit qt,qt handles, new gnuplot are some of the striking visible features.
I have tested DomainMath IDE with new Octave version. DomainMath IDE works fine with new version. DomainMath IDE start up more faster than with version 3.6.0.
Like fltk plot toolkit qt plot kit does not work fine inside DomainMath IDE. It draw plots but it does not exit when pressing close. If you need qt plot,you can draw plots like fltk.
You may feel some difficulty while you saving plots into graphics format. Visual Studio version does not include Gs (Ghost Script),you have to download Gs and set its path in enviornment variable list of OS or Octave startup file (setenv('gs_path_including_bin_folder') ) to save plot.
