I have created a new branch for some fixes we would like to make to 2.5.0. These should be small, well contained fixes that present little risk to stability. I have also created a job on builds.a.o for the branch and created the 2.5.0-update1 release in JIRA. Please set the fix in version to 2.5.0-update1 in JIRAs you wish to include them in the release. Please let me know if you have any questions.
