x.[0,2,4,6,9].[1,3,5,7,9] are bug fixes versions (with also minor features that should not affect stability too much) x.[1,3,5,6,9].x are development versions

So 2.4.1 is a bug fix version.

On that page should this be changed to recommend 2.4.x?

"We advise all users to upgrade to the newest version for their target (Preferably the new stable 2.2.x series)."

Also, would someone please add a period at the end of the first sentence in:

"The latest official version is 2.4.0, the first release of the 2.4.x series New development is performed in 2.5.x series,"
