Stow 2.4.0 has been released. This release contains some much-wanted bug-fixes — specifically, fixing the --dotfiles option to work with dot-foo directories, and avoiding a spurious warning when unstowing. There were also very many clean-ups and improvements, mostly internal and not visible to users. See http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/stow.git/tree/NEWS for more details.

This release improves ease of installation by dropping some module dependencies which were introduced in 2.3.0. It also fixes an issue with the test suite, and improves the release procedure. See http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/stow.git/tree/NEWS for more details.
Also note that 2.3.0 was released last month (June 2019) and announced on the mailing lists but not here on savannah.
