Enhancements
------------

New in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 is a reorganization of
the release note material.  Now the Release Notes are a
condensed set of major release highlights.  The Technical
Notes contain the majority of the information regarding
new feature descriptions and bug change notices.  Due to
the existence of the Release Notes highlights information,
it is no longer necessary to duplicate that information
in this release announcement.  The Release Notes are
available on the media as well as online as part of the
general documentation.  The online version of the Release
Notes will contain the latest data.  The Technical Notes
are only available online.  Please see the Documentation
section in this announcement for locating the online
Release Notes and Technical Notes.

A technical white paper that describes the major
enhancements can be found at:
