Where? The octave-3.4.2-rc2 tarball should unpack into a directory
with that name, and when I start it, it shows me
GNU Octave, version 3.4.2-rc2
...
and I see
octave:1> version
ans = 3.4.2-rc2

OK. Mostly, I forget to do things like add tags and update the web
site completely. But tags can be added later, and the web site is not
critical to the release. I think I just need a better checklist and
to remember to follow it.
