Actually it is not pushed out anywhere yet but will appear on

both 'maint' and 'master' along with other post 1.4.4 fixes and

will be contained in the 1.4.4.1 maintenance release.

In general, if your changes and fixes are applicable in

isolation to "master", it is most appropriate to send patches

against "master".  If you are following up a topic that is

cooking in "next" (or "pu"), then basing your patch on "master"

is obviously a bad idea and a patch that applies on "next" (or

"pu") would be more appropriate.  If you can make the patch

against the tip of the specific topic that would be even better

but it generally is more work for you, so I usually do not ask

that to contributors.
