Patch release in August 15, 2014.

Between 2.4.1 and 2.4.2, following micro-patches have been released:

• jackson-databind:

these patches are stand-alone ones in that their dependencies point to 2.4.1 for other components; they are meant to be used for emergency-patching for critical issues. Most users should not need to use these patches, and should instead just upgrade to 2.4.2 when it is available.
