Dear Swarm community,

I think that many people, me included, will be very happy when the new release 
is there. 
Specially this Ubuntu x64 version
Kind regards,
David

This 64bit "2.4.0" release put together by Paul should be deprecated and 
replaced with the official 2.4.1 release.

We can release a Ubuntu package of the latest development branch, but there 
hasn't been a release of that yet.
