# MariaDB 10.4.9 Release Notes

MariaDB 10.4.9 is a Stable (GA) release of MariaDB Community Server 10.4, released on 2019-11-05

The most recent release of [MariaDB 10.4](/docs/release-notes/community-server/old-releases/10.4.md) is:[**MariaDB 10.4.34**](/docs/release-notes/community-server/old-releases/10.4/10.4.34.md) Stable (GA) [Download Now](https://downloads.mariadb.org/mariadb/10.4.34/)

After an upgrade MariaDB Server can crash if InnoDB tables exist with a `FULLTEXT INDEX` and a `FOREIGN KEY` constraint attached to them. We got reports that the crash already will be encountered on startup, but a crash is also possible at a later stage. See [MDEV-20987](https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-20987) for more details.**Do not download or use this release.**
