Not at the moment. The "What's new in 4.4" summary came from the Wiki
page http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?WhatsNew44

I agree that it would be nice to have a copy of the summary and of the
relevant parts of HISTORY.TXT on the website somewhere, perhaps in the
downloads page if we don't have a better location.

Agreed, but for that I think we need a real website team. Maintaining a
website up to date is as demanding as developing software, maybe the
switch to Plone will help that?

BTW, does anyone know if there is a clear schedule for that Plone
switch?  Maybe it would be simpler to just put up a new website
somewhere else with a link to it from the main site?
