Today, we are pleased to release XenForo 1.4.4. This release fixes a number of bugs and issues that were found since the release of 1.4.3. As this is a maintenance release, the vast majority of the focus was an increase in stability.
This release also adds a new CAPTCHA option. It is Google's new version of reCAPTCHA and it has been redesigned to ensure it is much more user friendly to humans. This does not replace the existing reCAPTCHA option. To begin using this new version you will need to obtain an API key and provide that when selecting the new "Use reCAPTCHA (No CAPTCHA)" option.
Some of the bugs fixed in 1.4.4 include:

Installation and Upgrade Instructions
