For a summary of changes and contributors, see:
  http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=sed.git;a=shortlog;h=v4.4
or run this command from a git-cloned sed directory:
  git shortlog v4.3..v4.4

To summarize the 70 gnulib-related changes, run these commands
from a git-cloned sed directory:
  git checkout v4.4
  git submodule summary v4.3

====================
Here are the compressed sources and a GPG detached signature[*]:
  http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/sed/sed-4.4.tar.xz
  http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/sed/sed-4.4.tar.xz.sig

Use a mirror for higher download bandwidth:
  http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/sed/sed-4.4.tar.xz
  http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/sed/sed-4.4.tar.xz.sig

[*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the
.sig suffix) is intact.  First, be sure to download both the .sig file
and the corresponding tarball.  Then, run a command like this:

  gpg --verify sed-4.4.tar.xz.sig

If that command fails because you don't have the required public key,
then run this command to import it:

  gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 7FD9FCCB000BEEEE

and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command.

This release was bootstrapped with the following tools:
  Autoconf 2.69.183-96821
