In other words, every now and then we take a snapshot of the current state of the 4.x branch, and call it 4.y-RELEASE. The name "4.x-STABLE" means "the 4.x branch after the release of 4.x-RELEASE but before 4.(x+1)-RELEASE". So the only difference between 4.0-RELEASE and 4.2-RELEASE is that the latter is a much newer version of the 4.x codebase. So what you want is in fact to update to 4.2-STABLE.
