Hey list,

A little update on the release plan for 4.4: as you might have guessed, we 
pushed back the originally planned release date a little. By the end of the 
month, the first RCs of 4.4 should be available. As a bonus for your patience, 
a few extra features have slipped in:
* references view (see where documents are referenced)
* lots of fixes to request wrapping and filter dispatching (amongst other 
things allowing filters to be selectively applied on includes)

If you missed it, Philipp's post about the first milestone summarized the 
situation and features:

Snapshots are already available on our repositories, so feel free to give it a 
whirl and send feedback our way! (no stability guaranteed until RCs of course)

Cheers,

-greg
