Hi Antoine,

We don't have any solid release date for 0.44. We are planning on entering a hard freeze around the middle of May, at which point it's time for the developers to go on a bug-fix spree and then we will release pre-releases for testing. If there are no major issues, then we will wrap up 0.44 and release it.

As for the about screen, we actually already have one for this release. For 0.45 however, we will again have a contest on dA. Please feel free to show us what you have though as we're always interested. One thing that will be announced this evening both here on our lists and on dA is a call for screenshots for the new release. I just have to finish up the list of what features we will need them for.

I hope this was helpful.
