Dear octave maintainer who are related with windows binary.
I have uploaded testing binary with gnuplot enabling cairo based (including
wxt) and tikz terminals.
http://www.tatsuromatsuoka.com/octave/Eng/Win/tmp/octave-4.2.0-rc-1-12ea89cb1237-x64.7z
Date 2016-09-19, size 253,239,296 byte, sha1sum
3204ea4766e74e44287ab83bde8edb4fd8d7f19a.
HG-ID 12ea89cb1237
Note that this is a development snapshot _not_ the same as the 4.2.0-rc1 on the
official site.
This binary is _not_ intended for end users.
Upload period will be within a few days.
Changeset for mxe-octave used for this build is uploaded the below
