It should be fine to call it 2.4.X.

With internal structure changes was the structure version flag updated so that the code tells you to rebuild older modules rather than segfault? That is worth checking.

A 2.4.3 release (even if not perfect) will go a long way toward usability, since 2.4.2 was so evidently flawed. Folks have been very kindly testing on different platforms, and I think we have even more stability and breadth now than when 2.4.2 was released.

Are there any objections? If not, I'll sift through the Changes file and make a Release Notes file for 2.4.3 over the weekend -- we can test during the next week and release by the end of the week (unless something major comes up).

Cheers,

Can we still call it a 2.4 series release when the "experimental" per-piddle bad-value code change means that compiled modules will have to be rebuilt to use the new release (or at least I think they will as there have been changes to some internal data structures). However, I don't think there's enough in it to warrant upping the version to 2.5.
