The latest version avail= able in the 4.0.x branch is 4.0.4 and there's also 4.1.3 available.

I explain... Basically Xen-tools are used for w= ritting to Xenstore database through Xenstored at dom0. If you execute a wri= te and a read for the records of a concretely vm and from it (and same test f= rom dom0 for the vm records) and changes are seen from the own vm and from d= om0 with they're Xen-tools nothing should be worring at all. Apart from this= they don't do nothing else... Unless nothing significant I remember now... T= he important part is the kernel related one. So if you administer you're FreeBSD machine as should (update, use it proper= ly and so...) nothing should happen if previous test indicated has succeded.= Remember you can always backup you're actual Xentools with a pkg_create -Rb= nameofxentoolsport before performing the upgrade.
