Unfortunately we have discovered a syntax problem in the 4.2.3 upgrade script which will cause the upgrade to fail under certain circumstances. We are pulling this release and will replace it with 4.2.4 shortly.

If you've downloaded 4.2.3 and not tried the upgrade yet, you can trash that tarball and then download 4.2.4 shortly.

If you tried to upgrade using 4.2.3 and got the fatal error, you can safely download and run 4.2.4 shortly.

This issue will not affect your site if you installed a new CiviCRM site using 4.2.3.

At the Apeldoorn sprint today we had several discussions about street parsing and what we should do about it. A couple of solutions came up, I spoke first with Joe Murray and Xavier Dutoit. At that point in time using Extensions per street parsing seemed a logical solution. Discussing a little more with Lobo and Tim Otten the idea changed, and perhaps one Extension for international street parsing should be enough.
