Make-distcheck is now passing on 2.4, so I've bumped the version in configure.ac and revised NEWS and ChangeLog for release. I haven't tagged yet -- I'll do that tomorrow around 1600Z and build the tarballs. Trunk still has some issues, but I've got a couple more hours to work on it, so 2.5.0 may yet get out by tomorrow. Regards, John Ralls
