Release Content

Note that not all bug fixes in the 2.5.x Maintenance Branch are necessarily going to be included in the 2.5.4 Maintenance Release. 2.5.4 includes all the bug fixes from previous 2.5 Maintenance Releases, plus fixes for a selected subset of components (see below). This will help us reduce the scope of component regression testing in order to speed up the frequency of Maintenance Releases. Fixes for components available in 2.5.x, but not included in 2.5.4, will be included in a subsequent Maintenance Release.
