MacPorts 2.4.0 has been released

[Joshua Root]

The MacPorts Project is happy to announce that the 2.4.0 version has now
been released. It is available via the usual methods:

  - selfupdate if you already have MacPorts installed
  - package installers for 10.12 [1], 10.11 [2], 10.10 [3], 10.9 [4],
    10.8 [5], 10.7 [6], 10.6 [7] and 10.5 [8] (universal i386/ppc for
    10.5, i386/x86_64 for 10.6, and the rest x86_64)
  - source tarballs, both .tar.bz2 [9] and .tar.gz [10]
  - git tag [11]

The list of what's new in 2.4.0 can be found in the ChangeLog [12].

A big thanks to the developers for their hard work with all of the
various features and bug fixes in 2.4.0, and to all those who helped out
by reporting bugs or testing.

Detached PGP signatures for the pkg/dmgs and source tarballs have been
made with my key, which is available on the keyservers and my MacPorts
wiki page [13].
