One significant new feature is the merging of the USB stack and drivers from 5.x. This should provide significantly better USB support from what previously existed in 4.x, and I ask everyone to test it out as much as possible in the BETA phase. The BETA phase will last for at least another 10 days and might include a BETA2 snapshot to address some sysinstall and boot floppy issues that we recently came across. We ask that everyone thoroughly test this out so that we can have a stable and successfull 4.10 release. I would also like to thank Ken Smith for his invaluable help in getting this released, and I would like to welcome Hiroki Sato to the release engineering team! Thanks, Scott
