[Dave Mielke]

brltty-4.4 has been released. Here's the list of changes:

Changes:
   DOS option syntax (/option[:value]) can only be used on DOS or Windows.
   The clipboard functions have been renamed to accurately reflect what they do:
      CUTBEGIN  -> CLIP_NEW
      CUTAPPEND -> CLIP_ADD
      CUTLINE   -> COPY_LINE
      CUTRECT   -> COPY_RECT
      COPYCHARS -> CLIP_COPY
      APNDCHARS -> CLIP_APPEND
   The Caml bindings for BrlAPI have been renamed to Ocaml.
   The tbltest program has been renamed to brltty-ttb and is installed.
   The ctbtest program has been renamed to brltty-ctb and is installed.
   The --with-compiler-prefix= configure option has been removed.
Fixes:
   Brltty keyboard key bindings no longer interfere with Orca key bindings.
   The updating of status lines no longer confuses the cursor routing algorithm.
   The same USB device can no longer be used by more than one brltty at a time.
New Features:
   The help function cycles through all relevant pages.
      For example, help for the current keyboard key table is viewable.
   The info-mode line contains a clock.
   The preferences menu has been divided into a set of category-based submenus.
      Open a submenu with any key that would normally alter a setting.
      Close a submenu either by scrolling to its Close item and activating it
      or via the new MENU_PREV_LEVEL function.
   The -l [--log-level=] option of brltty accepts log category names.
      The names are: ingio, inpkts, outpkts, brlkeys, kbdkeys, csrtrk, csrrtg.
      Specify the log level and/or category names as a comma-delimited list.
   The -C [--cancel-execution] option has been added to brltty.
      The same pid file must be specified by both the cancelling and the
      already-running brltty.
   The pid file may be specified within the configuration file (brltty.conf).
   The brltty-trtxt program has been added and is installed.
