For comment #2, mxe-octave is the build repo used to generate the windows installers.


You can download octave when ever you want however that particular build was created 2019-02-25 and does not magically get updated very time some software is updated.

Because some people dont want to use the editor? Only the command line octave.

Linux and mac have a bunch editors available amost by default (vim, emacs ...).

Why is Notepad++ shipped with mxe-Octave, anyway?

1) It will be just copied to e.g.
C:\Octave\Octave-5.1.0.0\notepad++

That's it. No fully-fledged installation to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++

no desktop Icon, no Start menu icon, no update, nothing.

2) Linux and Mac variants don't have Notepad++

3) Octave GUI has its own editor since Version 4.0, dating back to May 2015

Hi, I don't know, what the mxe-octave is, but the "octave-5.1.0-w64-installer.exe", downloaded 2020-01-20 still contains the 2012 version and not the 7.8.2!

After the installation of the current version of Octave on my machine, I noticed, the the included notepad++ installation is from 2012. The most current one is from 2019. I would suggest, you update this.
