+ <h3>(07/04/2013) MidnightBSD 0.4-RELEASE</h3>
+<p>
+MidnightBSD 0.4 has been released on July 5, 2013. It includes many new features, but
+of particular interest is the new package management tool, mport.
+<p>
+This release is a bit different from previous releases in that we plan to update
+packages during the support period for 0.4. Rather than upload packages and
+sit on them for the life of the release, you will be able to download updated
+packages for i386 and amd64 periodically.
+<p>
+Due to this new feature, our initial package offering is smaller than we've done
+for previous releases as many things had to get migrated and updated. We plan
+to expand the packages available in the coming weeks.
+<p>
+In addition to mport, we've imported a large number of features from FreeBSD 9.1
+including ZFS with ZPOOL 28/dedup support, LLVM + CLANG in base, migration to GPT
+as the default in the installer, bsdinstall, BSD licensed sort and grep,
+cpucontrol(8), and UFS2 + SUJ (journaling). We've also imported the newer FreeBSD
+USB stack, NFSv4 client, syscons, and CAM based ATA.
+<p>
+Support for newer hardware includes Intel Sandybridge and Ivy Bridge graphics,
+various wifi chipsets, updates to Intel and Realtek ethernet adapters, and acpi.
+<p>
+The default system compiler is still GCC 4.2, but it has been updated to a newer release.
+We also removed libobjc from base as it was GCC specific and we want to migrate to
+libobjc2. We offer libobjc2 in mports and it will work with GCC and LLVM.
+<p>
+MidnightBSD now has it's own GPT partition types and offers a new search command,
+msearch.
+<p>
+libc gains strnlen(3), memrchr(3), stpncpy(3).
+<p>
+We've also imported and updated many third party libraries:
+<p>
+bzip2 version 1.0.6
+Diffutils 3.2
+FILE 5.05
+OpenSSH 5.8p2
+SQLite 3.7.15.2
+MKSH R44
+NetBSD's iconv
+BIND 9.8
+tcsh 6.18.01
+Perl 5.14.2
+mDNSResponder 333.10
+less v436
+libarchive 3.0.3
+libdialog (lgpl version)
+libffi 3.0.10
+wide-dhcpv6
+openresolv
+sendmail 8.14.5
+sudo 1.7.4-p6
+tzdata_2012j
+<p>
+This release is a bit disruptive due to the number of changes, but it was decided
+to move forward with it due to the age of 0.3-RELEASE. The next release is planned
+as a stability release and meant to work on desktop related functionality.
+</p>
