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)
* query performance improvements

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
