Version 2.4.1

Added the ability for an embedding application to receive a callback when V8 allocates (V8::AddMemoryAllocationCallback) or deallocates (V8::RemoveMemoryAllocationCallback) from the OS.

Fixed several JSON bugs (including issue 855).

Fixed memory overrun crash bug triggered during V8's tick-based profiling.

Performance improvements on all platforms.
