The second release candidate of Octave 3.4.2 is now available from
alpha.gnu.org in the directory /gnu/octave:
511a77ea089772f8ffa1dd232f2421d5 octave-3.4.2-rc2.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 1003 65534 17634466 Jun 22 23:07 octave-3.4.2-rc2.tar.gz
Even if you have been building Octave regularly from the Mercurial
archive, it would help if you could build from this release candidate
and report any problems. We could especially use reports for Windows
and OS X systems.
Unless there are reports of problems in the next couple of days, this
will become the 3.4.2 release.
