Details:

Hi,

Since the version 4.2.2 that Octave switched to build against Qt5 there have
been bugs in GUI and plotting functionalities that I think they are directly
or indirectly related to Qt5:

Memory consumption of figure command going up significantly from 4.2 to 4.4
bug#55052 <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?55052>
Updating graphics object consumes memory bug#55064
<https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?55064>
Memory leak in graphics subsystem bug#55287
<https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?55287>
octave-gui 4.4.1 doesn't work in Windows XP and Windows Vista bug#54662
<https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?54662> and bug#54199 
<https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?54199>

So I want to ask you to provide 7z binaries of Octave that has been built
against Qt4 so I and possibly other users that have low quality OS/RAM/GPU can
use Octave.

PS: I am a user of Windows XP.

Regards.
