If you _carefully_ read the originally quoted by me sentence:
"
Please see http://octave.org/NEWS-3.6.html for a list of significant
user-visible changes in this release.
",
you'll see the word "this" in "this release" word combination. And the Email I
quoted this message from was about octave-3.6.2, so to me in this context the
"this release" word combination means 'octave-3.6.2'.
So, apparently, the kindergarteners first and foremost either have a problem
with expressing their thoughts in English, or simply misinform the public.

Sergei.
