octave (4.0.1~rc4-1) experimental; urgency=low

  * Imported Upstream version 4.0.1~rc4
    + This version fixes the interaction with gnuplot v5 (Closes: #805295).
    + Also, it also fixes a HDF5 regression (Closes: #815597).
  * d/p/drop_versioned_binaries.diff: Refresh for new upstream version

    built in place and avoid unreproducible builds due to temporary build
    directories appearing in the .oct files.
