Yah, I don't know why "their usual practice" isn't using their own channels in the software. Beta, Stable & Long Term Support all return nothing for 6.10.4. Netgear has gone severly down hill, I sure do miss the original Infrant days. Netgear ruined a good thing by purchasing Infrant to begin with. Sad.

They just release it outside the automatic update channel a little before hand. They've never explained why, but there is no indication they aren't just doing that again.

My guess is that it gives them a chance to see if there are any unexpected issues from early adopters before they push it out.
Unexpected issues? I have one: none of the app icons are working.
I just updated ReadyNAS OS 6.10.3 to 6.10.4 and ... none of the app logos can be found. The path is now for example: https://192.168.0.236/apps/logo/mysqldb.png yet the file is found in /apps/mysqldb/logo.png. I think they switch variables...
This goes for all installed apps. The non-installed apps don't show logos either btw.
So the path looks the same to me (though I agree that /apps doesn't have a logo folder) - but the http bit will be a problem for people who are accessing the NAS remotely.
@Marc_V , @JohnCM_S : Can you see that this is logged or at least forwarded to development?
Yes - both the error, and the fact that my two systems are showing something different (but still potentially a problem).
Though on my systems, the x86 NAS (also on 6.10.4) is using https, only the arm system is using http.
I am wondering if the browser makes a difference (there could be some browser-dependent code in the NAS). I checked with Chrome, but just confirmed that I see the icons with Chromium Edge as well. What browser are you using?
Both Safari and Chrome on macOS show the same 404 errors.
The http redirects to https. Do you know where I can turn that off, I can't seem to find it anymore, and I would like to test if I get the same error with http. I doubt it though.
What I find so 'interesting' is that the folder and app name have traded places:

There is nothing new here - as I said earlier this is also the case with 6.10.3 and earlier firmware too. If you look in /etc/frontview/apache/apps-https.conf, you'll find the logos are all aliased in apache.
For instance on my 6.10.3 system, the installed app logos are aliased as
Alias /apps/logo/plexmediaserver.png /apps/plexmediaserver/logo.png
Alias /apps/logo/smbplus.png /apps/smbplus/logo.png
Available apps are aliased as
Alias /apps/logo/ajaxplorer.png /apps/.freeapps/ajaxplorer/logo.png
Alias /apps/logo/archiware-pure.png /apps/.freeapps/archiware-pure/logo.png
Alias /apps/logo/asterisk-app.png /apps/.freeapps/asterisk-app/logo.png
Alias /apps/logo/automatic.png /apps/.freeapps/automatic/logo.png
Alias /apps/logo/awpst-ngr.png /apps/.freeapps/awpst-ngr/logo.png
...
6.10.4 has the same aliases in apps-https.conf.
If you have ssh access, you might want to check this file. FWIW, if you haven't tried rebooting the NAS and clearing the browser cache, you probably should do that first.
You can enable http admin access in system->settings->http.
Redirection itself can be done in the apache server, but browsers also will automatically redirect to https if the service is available. Any methods for managing that depend on the browser.
There's definitely something weird with this update...
I figured it had to be the HTTP/HTTPS setting on the admin/ssytem/settings page, but it was greyed out.
Also my transmission app had trouble connecting to the outside.
So I rebooted.
I could login with HTTP again, no redirect. All the icons appeared.
I tried loggin in with HTTPS, it nagged a couple of times about an expired session and prompted me 4 times with the admin login and password. But eventually the admin page came up with all the icons in place!
Transmission works too, connecting etc.
Very strange.
So thank you Stephen for the execellent suggestion to just reboot 😄
Although a little late to the party, I noticed on my 'Upgarde' today that the system rebooted twice automatically, which I had never seen before on the NAS system.
..... and yes I am still alive ... avoiding teh Covid like a 'rabbit in headlights'.
With the kind help of @StephenB I managed to setup a daily backup from my ReadyNAS to ann attached USB HDD few months ago.
It was been working smoothly since I updated from 6.10.3 to 6.10.4.
What is strange, is that the backup shows as completed wihin a second with the log stating it has been successful. But no change has been made to the destination HDD.
So I went back to 6.10.3 and then the backup works as perfectly as it was perfroming before the firmware update.
The trap is that, from the log, nothing is wrong with 6.10.4 but, in fact, it is.
I will keep this 6.10.3 until there is a 6.10.5 released to give it a try.

I am running 6.10.4 on my backup NAS (but not the main one yet). The "pull" rsync backup jobs on those NAS are running correctly.
If I have a chance over the holiday break, I'll try a few other tests and report back here.
I have a strange issue here ... Since the upgrade to 6.10.4 my users can no longer delete some of my files/folders on the NAS. If they try that the Windows OS is saying that the files are in use...The issue also couldn´t be fixed with a NAS reboot or via Windows OS reboot.
Sometimes the folders disapear and if a user is trying to re-create them they got the error message that they are still in use somewhere else.
When I create a new share and then click on the plus and try to assign some groups to the newly created share it failed ... nothing happened ... Can somebody reproduce that maybe as well?

What happens if you click on the share settings wheel, and make the changes there?
thats working and seamed to solve the 2nd issue, so thanks for that. However we still struggle with various "you do not have rights" issues when deleting files or folders...
Whats also strange is that a user can create a new folder and get directly the error message "You need permissions to perform this action" bevore he can type in the name from the folder. However there is a so called "New Folder" created, but the users are unable to delete or rename the folder ... its also not possible to open the new folder and put files in it.
It looks like if old folders before the firmware update are not affected and are working. Moving a folder from a Windows PC to the NAS also caused the same affect. The folder then get right issues...
