Version 1.4.4

(originally posted by grelminar on 2007-09-07 00:43:00)

Version 1.4.4 is long overdue: it's been over a year, and there's been some very slow but steady bug fixes. I've also merged in some changes from the branches that Hyperspace and Powerball are running. This release hasn't been very well tested and could use some more polishing, but the release of Continuum 0.40 forced it to happen now.

Here's a summary of all the changes since the last version. You can find all the details on viewmtn.

• fix config-related deadlock by closing config files asynchronously.
