Yay! The 4.4 ship has been launched.

[sfeam (E. Merritt) <eam...@gm...>]

The Release Announcement, source tarball, and Windows binaries for
version 4.4.0 are now on SourceForge.  Many thanks to everyone who
helped to  bring this major release to fruition.  I'd particularly
like to thank everyone who contributed to the final push to upgrade
the Windows binaries to support not only an upgraded version of the
old win terminal but also to include the new wxt terminal.

Pour yourself a nice beverage of your choice and make a toast to
our joint success. 

Things were held up for a few days to squish a last-minute but serious
bug that only made itself apparent when tested on 64-bit linux [*].

I also made a pass over the web pages, but probably missed updating
version numbers in various places.  Let's give it a couple of days to
propagate to mirrors before sending announcements to the world at large.

	cheers,

[*] Although I have been using 4.4 and current CVS practically every day
all along without problems, 4.4 keeled over and died when installed as the
back end to a production web server.  It didn't like the sanitized
environment, and on a 64-bit system the dislike was fatal.  The cause
turned out to be the "too simple to hurt anything" change made a week ago
that removed look-up of GECOS information in the password file.  
Once again I have learned that last minute changes, no matter how simple,
are a really bad idea.
