Probably the easiest thing for you to do is to read the release notes on
the Web.  Eventually, this will go on the FreeBSD Web site.  For now,
you can read them out of my test directory at:

See src/release/doc/README for more information on generating the 
release documentation on your own system.  We don't build the release 
notes automatically with each (for example) buildworld, because the 
release notes (and related documentation) depend on a lot of software 
that is not a part of the base system.

Note that RELNOTESng is broken on RELENG_4 (see the HEADS UP message I 
posted to -stable about a week ago).  I'll post another HEADS UP when 
it's fixed.

Bruce.
