This is likely the last release candidate for BigBlueButton 2.4. It includes several fixes and stability improvements. If only minor items are reported in the coming days we plan on releasing 2.4.0 next. We'd like to encourage community memebers to try out this release and provide their feedback on BigBlueButton-dev forum both positive or negative.
