Most of the failures appear to be due to building with --disable-docs. Things are looking better than I thought. So Yay, progress, right?

Now I'm seeing 130+ failures in the test suite on Windows with --enable-64 but at least the test suite doesn't crash Octave...

Why "theoctaveguy"? When I tell people I work on Octave and they realize I that STARTED the project, they say, "Oh, YOU'RE the Octave guy!"

@brett_t_stewart I don't think twitter is a good place for bug reports. Or would you like to see tweets about fixed bugs?

Octave 3.8.0 has been out for a week now. The new (still experimental) GUI seems to have stirred up a lot of activity.
