Bug fix releases will come.

This weekend I downloaded 2.1 for OS X and got 2.1.1.  (This might be 
available for other OS's, but at least three of the bugs fixed were OS 
X specific.)  I then noticed it is listed in bugzilla for bug reporting.

The readme stated that one could find exactly which bugs were fixed 
from bugzilla.  That is not clear to me.  Some fixed bugs have 2.1 as 
the target, but I see no way to differentiate that from ones fixed by 
2.1.0 or fixed in 2.1.1 or will be fixed in 2.1.2.

As for 450, bugzilla is down at the moment, so I can't comment.  
However, there is a chance it is fixed in 2.1.1.

I have seen no announcement for 2.1.1.  That might mean that not all 
are built; I don't know.
