As Tony Rossini has already answered, it was our not your fault.
I feel very sheepish because I only fixed half of the Makefile bug 
that lead to the wrong version number in 5.1.22.

This has lead me to release again -- for all who have net yet
downloaded 5.1.23. Note that 5.1.23 and 5.1.24 have only Makefile and Version
numbering changes compared with 5.1.22 (which was silently released on Aug.6).

If you *have* 5.1.22 or .23 you might 
__ INSTEAD of DOWNLOADING __ 
just edit the  version string on line 126 of file lisp/ess-cust.el
and change "5.1.21" to the proper number of your corresponding version.

As Tony has said at earlier occasions, you might consider these
releases as pre-release steps towards 5.2.x ..
