As requested by Rhit explicitely and by Eric implicitely over irc, I will postpone creating a release candidate for 4.4.1 until they comment on it being ok. I was planning to do so at 20:00 UTC tonight.
Please add your comments on 4.4.1 in this thread to help us get it out A.S.A.P. Both 'issues remaining' and 'features tested ok' are welcome. thanks, -- Daan
