Re: Release 2.4.4

Attached is the changed files list that can be used to upgrade FA from FA v2.4.3 to FA 2.4.4.

Take care to compare the config.default.php with your existing config.php file and make changes in the latter as needed for the new VARLOG/VARLIB constants introduced in this version.

Also verify that the data in the sys_prefs table in all your company's databases have the necessary records to match those in the new sql/en_US-new.sql file now. Refer this commit for an example.

Re: Release 2.4.4

For those intending to upgrade from FA v2.4.2 directly to FA v2.4.4, the changed files zip is attached herewith. The FA 2.4.4 post release fixes will have to be added on separately afterwards from previous post. Take note of DB changes in the charts of accounts and those that pertain to fixes in the addon modules apart from the new entries in the config.inc.php (refer config.default.php changes) / sys_prefs table entries.
