+v0.4.4 (2011-11-25)
+===================
+
+This is a long due release. The sparse 0.4.4 can be downloaded from:
+
+https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/devel/sparse/dist/
+
+The new sparse has a lot of bugs fixes. It will report less noise
+while checking the new kernel tree. It compiles better with the
+new gcc as well.
+
+The sparse project is in the process of moving to the MIT license.
+Dan is coordinating the efforts. Most sparse developers sign off
+the MIT license already. If you haven't done so, please contact
+Dan off the list regarding the new license.
+
+Here is the short summery of the changes in this release.
+
+Have a nice long week end.
