Enhanced Machine Controller 2.4.7 has been released.  Debian packages
are availble from the regular package servers.  A source tarball is
available at
    http://linuxcnc.org/emc2/dists/lucid/emc2.4/source/emc2_2.4.7.tar.gz

Due to a mistake during packaging, this version will still identify
itself as version 2.4.6 in the splash screen and about dialog.  To
verify the version of that you have installed, open a terminal window
and type:
    dpkg -l emc2
OR 
    dpkg -l emc2-sim
depending on whether you have installed the realtime or simulator-only
version of the software.  The output should say something like this:
    ii  emc2           1:2.4.7        PC based motion controller for real-time 
Lin

Because of a problem with the virtual machine used to build the 64-bit
hardy (ubuntu 8.04) packages, version 2.4.7 is unavailable for that
system at this time.  All packages for lucid are available, as are
packages for 32-bit hardy.
