      There is also some bug fixes:

       

      The Lightroom 2.4 update includes several bug fixes.  The following is a list of items FIXED in this release.

      • Web galleries with a Collection Title of six characters would not export or upload
      • The crop aspect ratio could revert to the last selected ratio even when reset to original
      • The crop aspect ratio in Quick Develop could be lost after a crop adjustment
      • The crop aspect ratio lock could be lost after an orientation switch
      •  Images could preview incorrectly when imported using the MTP/PTP USB protocol
      • Sony .ARW files may not have been recognized by Lightroom’s import dialog
      • The Japanese language configuration of Lightroom on Mac OS X 10.5 could fail to switch to the print module if the HP B9180 was set as the default printer
      • Metadata options that are intended for use were dimmed incorrectly when exporting DNG files
      • The Japanese language configuration of Lightroom on Mac OS X was missing a shortcut for “Zoom Out”
      • Several translation and shortcut corrections were made for the eight additional languages introduced with Lightroom 2.3

       

      Before you upgrade it is always a good idea to backup your catalogs. If you dont have any schedule set for your backups, launch Lightroom and go to the Catalog Preferences ( each catalog can support a different backup schedule) select a backup schedule for the catalog and relaunch it.

       

      Be sure to note the location of the backups in the opening dialog, preferably set the backups to be located in a folder separate from the catalog itself.

      If you have been backing up for a while on a regular basis you may want to prune the number of backups. Here I could easily be comfortable with deletion of the February backups.
