I'm confused, 24 is already been out and it doesn't include the 3 bug fixes that were set to go in 25.

I just downloaded 24 again to confirm.

If they were set to go in 25 it comes next.

[Ebuechner]

It almost sounded like there was a new release of 24 that included the fixes.
I was excited there for a minute because I'm fighting with some GIF images.
Oh well, I'll just wait for 25.

I could push out 25 if it is causing too much pain.

The GIF images are just acting a little flaky and one won't render at all but it's working well enough for me to place them and I can fine-tune them later when 25 comes out.
So no worries, I can be patient.

Yeah the transparent gif I tested with didn’t have movement which means I didn’t see the accumulation of transparent pixels problem until someone sent me a sample gif.
