Introduction</h2></div></div></div><p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/transitional">This document contains the release notes for FreeBSD
10.4-RELEASE. It describes recently added, changed, or
deleted features of FreeBSD. It also provides some notes on
upgrading from previous versions of FreeBSD. </p><p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/transitional">The snapshot distribution to
which these release notes apply represents a point along the
10.4-STABLE development branch between 10.3-RELEASE and
the future 10.4-STABLE. Information regarding pre-built,
binary snapshot distributions along this branch can be
found at <code xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="uri"><a class="uri" href="https://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/" target="_top">https://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/</a></code>. </p><p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/transitional">All users are encouraged to consult the release errata
before installing FreeBSD. The errata document is updated with
<span xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="quote">“<span class="quote">late-breaking</span>”</span> information discovered late in the
release cycle or after the release. Typically, it contains
information on known bugs, security advisories, and corrections
to documentation. An up-to-date copy of the errata for FreeBSD
10.4-RELEASE can be found on the FreeBSD Web site. </p><p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/transitional">This document describes the most user-visible new or changed
features in FreeBSD since 10.3-RELEASE. </p><p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/transitional">Typical release note items document recent security
advisories issued after 10.3-RELEASE, new drivers or hardware
support, new commands or options, major bug fixes, or
contributed software upgrades. They may also list changes to
major ports/packages or release engineering practices. Clearly
the release notes cannot list every single change made to FreeBSD
between releases; this document focuses primarily on security
advisories, user-visible changes, and major architectural
improvements. </p></div><div class="sect1"><div xmlns="" class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="upgrade"></a>2.
