4.0.1 stable release is available.
further information for the changelog: http://kicad-pcb.org/post/release-4.0.1/
kicad 4.0.1 compiles fine after renaming the old ebuild. I could only see one minor aesthetic problem, that should not be a blocker: In the menu Help // Copy Version Information I do not get the right version number. Instead of "release build" I would expect 4.0.1.
