You are right.  The version on stable is now bumped to 5.1.90 and
including Shared Library Versions for the weekend (Saturday, Dec. 14):

   https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/230c20b02682

Now only a tag should be added and the built dist release candidate can
be uploaded to

   https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/octave/

Later the MS Windows builds.  Thank you for your help.

Best,
Kai
