Announcing Pre-Release Version: astlinux-1.4-4801-574be0

The next AstLinux version will be 1.4.0, most notably switching to the Linux 
kernel 4.19.x LTS series.

Much testing needs to be done, if you have a non-standard box (HP Thin Client, 
unique China box, etc.) we would encourage you to test.  Be certain you have 
console access, using the CLI to upgrade to the pre-release version.  Possibly 
type "dmesg -H" to view the logs and note anything weird, particularly Broadcom 
or Realtek NIC related.  Revert back to your previous image with 
"upgrade-run-image revert" and "kernel-reboot" CLI commands.

While we do not suggest this specific pre-release is production ready, some of 
the developers are using it in production.

** IMPORTANT NOTICE

DAHDI_HFCS and RHINO drivers are no longer supported.
