Getting started

Developer FAQ
Contribution guidelines for Octave
- C++ style guide
- Octave style guide

Release process

The GNU Octave 6.1 release process has been started.
See the 6.1 Release Checklist for more information.

Project ideas and work in progess

Short projects -- Good starting point to get into the Octave development.
Summer of Code Project Ideas -- Ideas page for GSoC, SOCIS, ... projects.
Projects -- Many things that would be nice to have done.
- Classdef -- Define own data types using classdef.
- JIT -- Just in time compiler for Octave.
- GUI terminal widget -- Ideas about a new improved terminal widget.
- International Characters Support -- Using Octave in your own language.
- Pythonic -- Calling Python functions directly from Octave.

Tools & techniques

Mercurial -- Version control scheme.
MXE -- Cross-compiling to Windows.
gdb -- debugger. Useful to obtain stack traces.
- Debugging Octave -- particularly .oct files using gdb.
valgrind -- memory leak detector, profiler etc.
- Finding Memory Leaks
ccache -- cache compilation across builds.
Editors -- A list of editors supporting Octave syntax highlighting.

Documentation

Help text -- Document m-files
Doxygen -- Document C++ files

Building

Building -- General information how to build Octave from source.
Continuous Build
Large array support

Testing

Packaging -- Building binary distributions

Code sprints

Other

Project Infrastructure
