 Given that S2_5 is already so mature, I've sort of forgotten S2_4
already. AFAIK there's no community servers running 2.4 games which
would require having a new release from S2_4 instead of going to
S2_5/2.5.1. If you decide to make 2.4.5, let me know soon, so I can
backport and test some more recent fixes from S2_5 there.
