I installed with the nsis installer and get the attached warning dialog each 
time I start Octave.
The documentation panels are empty.

The README.html still refers to Octave 4.4.

The graphics_toolkit gnuplot doesn't work. But that is probably already 
resolved in the meantime.

The "About Octave" dialog isn't translated.

The test suite crashed Octave when I ran it immediately after the installation 
leaving this entry in the application protocol:

After a restart, the test suite finished with:

I will try to test on a system with HiDPI monitor and for a user name 
containing non-ASCII characters within the next few days.
