Source downloads: https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/octave/ https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/octave/ Windows binaries, with source code: https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/octave/windows/ https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/octave/windows/ Earlier screenshot of the GUI, but very similar to the current version: http://www.walkingrandomly.com/images/octave/octave_GUI_38.png http://www.walkingrandomly.com/images/octave/octave_GUI_38.p... The Windows binaries are partially due to commercial sponsorship. We are still selling more commercial support, and we are working on providing even more commercial options: http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/commercial-support.html http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/commercial-support.html Sorry, no Mac OS X binaries at this point. It has proven to be a much more difficult target than Windows, due to the impossibility of cross-compiling into it, plus several idiosyncracies in Apple's libraries. If you are comfortable with a CLI tool, Octave 4.0 is already in homebrew, which seems like the best option at the moment. If I could dedicate myself to this problem, I am confident I could put quite a dent into it. If you are an Octave enthusiast, come to OctConf 2015 in Germany this September! http://wiki.octave.org/OctConf_2015 http://wiki.octave.org/OctConf_2015

The Windows binaries are partially due to commercial sponsorship. What does that mean? Commercial companies paid to have the installers built for their use and are sharing, or you bundle adware in with the installers and call it sponsorship?

  It means someone hired one of the developers in order to make the Windows binaries. He ended up forking MXE in order to accomplish this: http://hg.octave.org/mxe-octave/file/default http://hg.octave.org/mxe-octave/file/default There is no crapware anywhere. This is all GPL'ed, all GNU, all good for you. Commercial sponsorship does not mean we're out to screw you over. Quite the contrary, we're seeking commercial sponsorship in accordance with free software principles and to make Octave better for everyone.

Looks like brew is still offering up octave 3.8.2_1 (on osx).

  The --head brew install option at the moment points to just a few commits ahead of 4.0. There has not been a lot of divergence. I expect the homebrew packagers will soon update the url to point to 4.0 I really wish I could dedicate myself to working on the Mac OS X packages. It really requires a lot of work.
