Officially released on February 1, 2014, the Mageia 4.0 GNU/Linux operating system brought many new features, such as initial UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) support, the Mageia Welcome screen, kernel packages from the Linux 3.12 LTS (Long-Term Support) branch, as well as the systemd 208 init system.
Today's bad news for Mageia 4.0 and Mageia 4.1 users is that the 4.x branch of the popular GNU/Linux distribution will no longer receive security and critical patches, nor software updates, and no new packages will be added to the main software repositories, which will be closed starting September 19, 2015.
