   Today we are releasing 4.0.1, 3.6.5, 3.4.11, and the unstable
development snapshot 4.1.2.

   Many users had difficulty installing Bugzilla 4.0, 3.6.4, and 3.4.10,
due to a bug related to the "Math::Random::Secure" library. These
releases fix that bug among other issues.

   Note that 4.1.2 is an unstable development release and should not
be used in production environments. However, we are getting very close
to feature freeze for 4.2, so now is the time to give us feedback on
4.1.2 if you want its behavior to change significantly before we
release.

About Bugzilla
--------------
   Bugzilla is a "Defect Tracking System" or "Bug-Tracking System."
Defect Tracking Systems allow individuals or groups of developers
to keep track of outstanding bugs in their product effectively.
Most commercial defect-tracking software vendors charge enormous
