[ckan-dev] CKAN 2.5 release and patch releases next Thursday

[David Read]

Hi all,

Next Thursday 17th December around 13:00 UTC (15:00 CET, 09:00 EST) we
will be releasing the next stable version of CKAN, 2.5, as well as
patch releases for the following previous versions:

2.0.x -> 2.0.8
2.1.x -> 2.1.6
2.2.x -> 2.2.4
2.3.x -> 2.3.3
2.4.x -> 2.4.2

Users are encouraged to always run on the latest patch release for
their version, as these include important security and stability
fixes. The latest patch release is the only one supported by the CKAN
team (patch releases don't contain backwards incompatible changes).

More information about CKAN releases can be found here:

Information on how to apply a patch release can be found on one of
these two links, depending on whether you are using a package or a
