jwe, thank you for announcing the release and all the work of building
the MXE versions, that I hoped to be able to build myself.  Sorry for
the trouble, but for 6.1 I gained much more experience now.

Also many thanks to you developers and users for trying out the release
candidates and for providing valuable feedback for last minute fixes.

I finished updating the website and the wiki, thus every Octave user who
allows Octave to connect to the internet should receive a nice
notification by now =)
