[[PageOutline]] = Preparing for 2.4.0 = WebkitGtk+ '''2.4.0''' will be the next release in the stable series (following [wiki:WebKitGTK/2.2.x 2.2.x]). We should merge not overly intrusive patches that improve stability or performance, fix build issues, etc. We branched at r163300 (02/03/14). When filing bugs (http://bugs.webkit.org) against stable release, please prefix them with "[GTK] [Stable]" to ensure they are addressed with high priority. Also, running a debug build and including stack traces is highly encouraged. To get the stable branch code, simply check out http://svn.webkit.org/repository/webkit/releases/WebKitGTK/webkit-2.4 Over the next few weeks we'll be merging important fixes into the branch, so be sure to stay up to date.
