I have done this now: the merge point is Isabelle/38bf4de248a6.  It 
contains Isabelle2014-RC3, which will be announced in approx. 2h when the 
website is ready.

Note that isatest and AFP are still hooked on Isabelle2014-RC, until 
Gerwin points out the schedule for the correlated AFP release fork.
