Checklist items for the v4.2.4 release
  (using the v4.2.3.900 release candidate build)

Search for your name to find relevant items, reply when you finish
an item (please indicate which item is done).  Also, if you have
any commits that should have been merged, make sure that they're
in.

Important: new builds are created without announcement, usually
whenever I see significant commits.  If you need to commit changes,
please make sure you tell me to merge it to the release branch.

--> Release candidates are at
-->   http://pre.plt-scheme.org/release/installers

Please use these installers (or source bundles) -- don't test from
your own svn chekout (don't test v4.2.4.1 by mistake!).  To get
the tests directory in the normal release, you can do this:
  cd .../collects
  svn export http://svn.plt-scheme.org/plt/release/collects/tests
