+# ZFSBootMenu v1.4rc1
+
+ZFSBootMenu 1.4 includes significant internal changes and some user-visible functional changes in the `generate-zbm` script.
+
+## Fixes
+* Internal improvements to `generate-zbm` to improve consistency and facilitate future development.
+* Management of versioned image retention should now be more consistent with expectation. Versioned ZBM images now increment a revision number when existing images with the same version already exist, and the retention policy preserves a configurable number of revisions for the current version alongside the latest revision of each of the same number of prior versions.
+* Improved error handling should make failures in `generate-zbm` easier to understand.
+
+## New features
+* Move from an INI configuration format to YAML, which should provide more flexibility for future enhancements.
+* Provide a `--migrate` command-line option to convert existing INI configurations to the new format.
+* Add configuration options to change default behavior for `--kernel`, `--kver` and `--prefix` to make `generate-zbm` easier to incorporate on non-Void systems.
+* Add a configuration option to change the default behavior for `--version` to allow customized output versioning of images.
+* Support string interpolation of `%current` or `%{current}` tags in `--kver` and `--version` values.
+* Add a `--cmdline` command-line option to override the configured `CommandLine` value without editing the configuration file.
