Some questions: Do we need to fix MSVC issues now? Whats the procedure for
closing out bugs from old versions of octave? Do we care about feature
requests for this release?
A quick look through the list for me (looking only at the Windows issues):
40321 (mkoctfile) - Now fixed (in test)
40273 (SED changes): complete - left open for upsteam changes to gnulib
40252 (Qt5): Not going to change yet ?
39856 (Compiling Oct files in Win7): Issues with MSVC and octave 3.6.4
39465 (Mingw Java support in configure):
39446 (Native build of octave with MSVC installed): Effects oly those who
want to create their own native build octave in Windows.
38351 (mkoctfile flags): Works in mingw built version for me, and was
written against 3.6.2.
34301, 34169 (-f flag in mkoctfile): Feature requests.
