Minor release with new functionality but backwards compatible.

It looks like Jackson 2.4.0 actually has a [couple regressions](https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson/wiki/Jackson-Release-2.4.1) from 2.3.x, so it may be worth holding off merging this until 2.4.1 is out and going straight to that. Thoughts?
