    Apache has guidelines on release numbering:

    Minor Releases

    Minor releases signify enhancements to a component that do not necessitate a major release. Developers may perform a minor release if the release is at least external-interface-compatible with the previous release.

    Point Releases

    A point release typically involves simple bug fixes or optimizations that do not introduce new features. Developers may perform a point release if the release is at least interface-compatible with the previous release.

    So unless there are new API additions (which I have not looked at) you would not bump up the minor version number.

    2.4 would be a "minor release".

    2.3.4 (the last point release) only lists internal changes.

    2.3.4.1 is not even a "point release", more like a patch, which seems to match the release notes, which say "Struts 2.3.4.1 includes important security fixes."
