There are some minimal release notes. There are extensive release notes for a developer's point of view in the TechNotes Library, but they are only up to 10.1.3.

Huh?

Update 10.1.4 delivers improved networking, security, and additional disc recording device support. Specific enhancements include:

Disc Recording Devices:

• Updated and new support for Fast 10 SCSI drives, including the Pioneer 201 drive.
• Expanded support for SmartDisk, EZQuest, and LaCie disc recording devices.

Networking Improvements:

• Dial-up connections over PPP are more reliable and system responsiveness has been improved.
• Significant improvement to file searching on local and remote volumes.
• Apple Filing Protocol (AFP) services can be browsed on networks with 3Com routers.

Security Update:

• BSD-based TCP/IP connections now check and block broadcast or multicast IP destination addresses.

Seems pretty clear to me from a end user perspective. This is what Software Update told me.

What sad times when "it didn't break anything" is what passes for a good review.

This is a bugfix release. It seems to only fix a few obscure bugs and most users shouldn't notice any difference. "It didn't break anything" is the best review possible for this kind of release.
