Heads-up to all - I plan on tagging 0.3.9 imminently (as soon as I finish 
bisecting something), if there are any last-minute backporting candidates 
please flag them, notify the @juliabackports user and/or respond here.

Thanks for your work!

But why after I build it, it shows 0.3.9-pre+6?

 Hello all! The latest bugfix release of the 0.3.x Julia line has been 
 released. Binaries are available from the usual place 
 http://julialang.org/downloads/, and as is typical with such things, 
 please report all issues to either the issue tracker 
 https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues, or email this list.

 As this is a bugfix release, there are not too many new big-item features 
 to announce, but if you are interested in the bugs fixed since 0.3.7, see 
 this 
 commit log https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/compare/v0.3.7...v0.3.8.

 This is a recommended upgrade for anyone using any of the previous 0.3.x 
 releases, and should act as a drop-in replacement for any of the 0.3.x 
 line. We would like to get feedback if someone has a working program that 
 breaks after this upgrade.

If you are building from a git checkout directly from the release-0.3 
branch, there are commits made immediately after the tag--for instance, to 
increment the version number. There have also been several new backports 
since then.

If you wish to build exactly 0.3.8, you will need to check out its git tag 
first (git checkout v0.3.8, or download the source tarball.
