[4.10] What updates were made for the 03/10 release?

2 New FAQs:

• [4.10] What updates were made for the 03/10 release?
  (created)
• [34.6] Can I have a container of smart pointers to my objects?
  (created thanks to Darren Sargent)

6 Changed FAQs:

• [8.5] How can you reseat a reference to make it refer to a different object?
  (reworded the last sentence to avoid confusion (thanks to Cam McKinnon) and to strengthen the conclusion)
• [29.18] Why is cos(x) != cos(y) even though x == y? (Or sine or tangent or log or just about any other floating point computation)
  (fixed a typo ("assemply" vs. "assembly") thanks to Patrick J. LoPresti)
• [29.21] What other "newbie" guides are there for me?
  (added another broken (sorry!) URL for the Correct C++ Tutorial; if anyone has a better link, please let me know)
• [36.9] How do I serialize objects that contain pointers to other objects, but those pointers form a tree with no cycles and no joins?
  (clarified discussion of "trees" and added caveats)
• [36.10] How do I serialize objects that contain pointers to other objects, but those pointers form a tree with no cycles and only "trivial" joins?
  (clarified discussion of "trees" and added, thanks to Ian Goodfellow, added a caveat for pointers that point to a data member of an object rather than to the object itself)
• [38.13] Is it possible to convert C++ to C?
  (updated link to Cfront)
