The Apache CloudStack project announced the immediate availability of
Apache CloudStack v4.4.3, the latest version of the turnkey Open
Source cloud computing software platform used for creating private-,
public-, and hybrid cloud environments.

stabilizing fixes to this maintenance release. Both for 4.5 and the
next version work is going hard and I am happy that we managed to
bring out this fix release for users of prior versions."
