In this case you should really release a new version without the 'pre'
extension asap (imho).

4.2 final is ancient, do you really want people to use this version
instead of the latest 4.3preX? Is it really better? At least more
bugfree? I don't believe this.

If you want that the more conservative user stays with 4.2 keep on
creating pre-releases, but if not, you should really consider to
release a version without 'pre' soon. 

I'm using the latest daily build without problems. As everybody knows,
software is never completely bugfree and can of course always be
improved, but as far as I can tell jEdit in its current state is stable
and a great tool.
