===Octave-4.4.1=== | |||
In Octave 4.4.1, the {{Path|post_install.bat}} file was not available for the 7z/Zip archives. After unzipping the package and creating shortcuts, the user is required to first run the {{Path|fc_update.bat}} file to rebuild the font cache and reduce first time plotting delays, and then run 'pkg rebuild' from the Octave command line to make the pre-installed packages available to the system. | |||

In addition to the post-install instructions above for Octave 4.4.1, in Octave 4.4.0 the shortcuts start the command line interface, not the graphical user interface, by default. The user needs to add --force-gui to any manual shortcuts to start Octave with the GUI. (Right-click on the shortcut, select Properties, and add --force-gui to the end of the Target field.) Later versions reverted back to the previous behavior where graphical user interface runs by default. | |||
