I've just compiled 3.8.1. on cygwin and there is a issue which wasn't
present in 3.8.1-rc3.

Octave was configured as "./configure --prefix=${HOME]/usr"
this is to say that the whole hiearchy should live under $HOME/usr

My setting was that ${HOME}/usr/bin was at the end of $PATH. Which such
setting, 
 ~/usr/bin/octave --force-gui
launch the executable 
/home/PascalDupuis/usr/libexec/octave/3.8.1/exec/x86_64-unknown-cygwin/octave-gui.exe
which itself depend upon e.a. cygoctave-2.dll
Which such setup, /usr/bin/cygoctave-2.dll is found first, and it launches
the 3.8.0 version. Prepending instead of appending ${HOME}/usr/bin to $PATH
solved the problem. Is there some change between 3.8.1-rc3 and 3.8.1
inducing this effect ?

Regards

Pascal
