The OpenLayers Development Team is proud to announce the second release candidate of OpenLayers 2.4.

• Click events for popups and controls cleaned up in IE.

• Improvements to Geometry/Renderer/Feature class to move Renderers to be behind the Layer API
• Fix broken Image layer after committing gutter changes
• Layer.Boxes cleanups.
• Protection against double Layer destroys
• Other minor Vector API cleanups.

As of 2.4-RC2, an additional 29 tickets over the 106 tickets closed by the 2.4-RC1 release. This release fixes vector rendering in SVG to fix a number of serious issues.
