-:2.4.0: NOT RELEASED YET
+:2.4.0: 2011-08-11
+
+This release marks the start of a new long-term-stable series. From here, we
+will only make bugfix releases on the 2.4 series (2.4.1, etc, and support it
+until February 2013), while 2.5 will become our new development series.
+
+This is a bugfix and polish release over the 2.3 series, with a large number
+of bugs fixed (>150 for the 2.4 series alone), and some performance
+improvements. Support for python 2.4 and 2.5 has been dropped, many large
+working tree operations have been optimized as well as some stacked branches
+operations.
+
+Only bugfixes from other stables series have been included since 2.4b5 so
+all known fixed bugs are included here.
+
+Users are encouraged to upgrade from the other stable series.
