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.
