This release moves all internal functions from the _timescaleb_internal
schema into the _timescaledb_functions schema. This separates code from
internal data objects and improves security by allowing more restrictive
permissions for the code schema. If you are calling any of those internal
functions you should adjust your code as soon as possible. This version
also includes a compatibility layer that allows calling them in the old
location but that layer will be removed in 2.14.0.

**Thanks**
* @binakot and @sebvett for reporting an issue with DISTINCT queries
* @hardikm10, @DavidPavlicek and @pafiti for reporting bugs on TRUNCATE
* @mjf for reporting an issue with ordered append and JOINs
* @phemmer for reporting the issues on multinode with aggregate queries and evaluation of now()
* @abolognino for reporting an issue with INSERTs into compressed hypertables that have cagg
* @tanglebones for reporting the ANALYZE crash with custom types on multinode
Update version numbers and add 2.4.2 to update tests.
We have to put the DROP FUNCTION back in latest-dev because
2.4.2 did not include the commit which removed the function
definitions.
This release contains bug fixes since the 2.4.1 release.
We deem it high priority to upgrade.
**Bugfixes**
* #3437 Rename on all continuous aggregate objects
* #3469 Use signal-safe functions in signal handler
* #3520 Modify compression job processing logic
* #3527 Fix time_bucket_ng behaviour with origin argument
* #3532 Fix bootstrap with regresschecks disabled
* #3574 Fix failure on job execution by background worker
* #3590 Call cleanup functions on backend exit
**Thanks**
* @jankatins for reporting a crash with background workers
* @LutzWeischerFujitsu for reporting an issue with bootstrap
