The same thing happened to me. After some googling, I found this:
"RELENG_4 marks the 4-STABLE branch. OS names along this branch all have the major version number 4 but *aren't* tied to any particular minor version number. Those change about every four months. Yes, a 4.8-STABLE OS did exist, for a few months after 4.8-RELEASE came out. That was back between April and August 2003. Then that code branch was successively relabelled (over the course of a few weeks) as 4.9-PRERELEASE, 4.9-RC, etc. until for a vanishingly short time it was technically 4.9-RELEASE and then became 4.9-STABLE. At which it remained until a few weeks ago when it became 4.10-BETA, etc. etc. until right now, you get 4.10-STABLE. 4.10-RELEASE hasn't quite happened yet: any day now though."

I don't think we can go back to 4.10-STABLE using the stable branch tag. 4.10-STABLE has become 4.11-PRERELEASE and will soon become 4.11-STABLE itself (scheduled date is 24 January 2005 - release schedule here: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.11R/schedule.html)

Sorry, I spoke too soon.
Although I didn't find a procedure for it in the handbook, I read appendix A.6, CVS Tags,in the FreeBSD handbook and decided to try changing the default release tag from
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4
to:
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4_10
I then followed the make buildworld procedure in section 19.4 of the handbook and I now have:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ 314$ uname -a
FreeBSD arlette.mshome.net 4.10-RELEASE-p5 FreeBSD
4.10-RELEASE-p5 #1: Sun Dec 19 20:43:22 CST 2004
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ARLETTE i386So you can go back to 4.10 if that's what you want, but 4.11 should be everything 4.10 was and then some.
