I'm pleased to announce the first bugfix release in the 2.4 series,
2.4.1. A number of bugs, large and small, have been fixed since 2.4.0.
The new packages are available for Ubuntu 8.04 "Hardy Heron" in the
package repositories. If you installed 2.4.0, this will be presented as
an upgrade. If you have 2.3.5 or earlier, it will not automatically be
installed as an upgrade. For more information and installation/upgrade
instructions, please see
http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?UpdatingTo2.4
Git users can get this release by checking out the v2.4.1 tag, or follow
bugfixes on the v2.4_branch. Source tarballs are available from the
package repository, http://linuxcnc.org/hardy/dists/hardy/emc2.4/source
Many thanks to everyone who helped us with reports, information, or code
related to the problems fixed in this release.
