Details:

The copies of the manual available from the Support page:
https://www.gnu.org/software/octave/support.html
at direct links
https://www.gnu.org/software/octave/doc/interpreter/index.html
https://www.gnu.org/software/octave/octave.pdf

appear to be for Octave version 3.8. HTML version is copyright 2013, pdf first
page says Edition 3 for Octave version 3.8.0
February 2011 - so it's even older than the online HTML manual!

I presume that neither of these manuals covers v4.0, released in 2015, at all.
That would appear to be something of an oversight.

I guess I could always spend time in doc or try building a new copy from TeX
on windows (what version of Tex? Errors? Gah!), but it would be good if these
manuals could be updated to current.

So, please update online manuals to reflect the glory of the new features of
4.0, whatever they might be. Thanks.
