We seem to have been waiting a long, long time for the WordPress team to let their 3.1 loose and just as we were expecting it to drop, we were surprised with another Release Candidate (3). So – because it has been a long time and all known bugs have been fixed up we thought an RC2 of SP 4.4.0 was in order. All being well and if nothing else creeps out of the woodwork, we should be good to go as soon as the WP team give the word.
