These are bugfix-only releases.
Please report bugs by replying to this forum thread. Note that the 0.4.x wxBitcoin GUI client is no longer maintained nor supported. If someone would like to step up to maintain this, they should contact Luke-Jr.
Also note that CVE-2012-4682 and CVE-2012-4683 are not fixed in 0.4.x: 0.4.x did not have any anti-DoS system at all, and that is not changed with this release. If you want to be secure against this class of DoS attacks (network flooding of invalid data to verify), upgrade to a newer version!
