The following is a summary of bugs fixed between Ubuntu 10.04.3 and 10.04.4. This summary covers only changes to packages in main and restricted, which account for all packages in the officially-supported CD images; there are further changes to various packages in universe and multiverse. Some of these fixes were by Ubuntu developers directly, while others were by upstream developers and backported to Ubuntu. For full details, see the individual package changelogs.
In addition to the fixed bugs listed below, this update includes all security updates from the Ubuntu Security Notice list affecting Ubuntu 10.04 LTS that were released up to and including 10 February 2012. The last update included was USN-???.

Known Issues
