+
+The MacPorts Project is pleased to announce the release of version
+2.4.2. This is a bugfix release with small changes only. See the
+[ChangeLog][1] for the list of changes.
+
+If you already have MacPorts installed, the preferred method for
+updating is to run:
+
+    sudo port selfupdate
+
+For new installs, [package installers][2] are available for the most current
+macOS 10.13 High Sierra and all older releases back to OS X 10.4 Tiger. The
+source is also available as tarballs compressed with gzip or bzip2, or from the
+[git tag][3].
+
+Detached PGP signatures for the disk images and package installers have
+been made by [Joshua Root][4], while the git tag and source tarballs have
+been signed by [Rainer Müller][5]. Both public keys are available on the
+keyservers and our MacPorts wiki pages, the fingerprints being:
