currently the dependency is locked to octave3.0. Would be nice to be able to use qtoctave with octave3.x

You can choose octave3.2 as default octave using update-alternatives:
	# update-alternatives --config octave

However, 3.0 and 3.2 are so different that you'll end up with an error
message in QtOctave's message window:

	octave:13>error: `variables' undefined near line 1 column 176

So, I won't change the dependency for now.

Actually qtoctave 0.8.2 works out the compatibility with octave 3.2. So this bug should really be a wishlist for updating qtoctave to 0.8.2
