Nope, see git show v1.4.4:configure.ac.
AC_INIT in configure.ac was indeed not updated.

In other words: tagging a revision alone won't do it. Similarly to the Linux kernel, a specific version bump commit like 07a2039b8eb0af4ff464efd3dfd95de5c02648c6 is needed which is then tagged.

Besides this small cosmetic matter, I can report that it compiles fine :-)

All should be fixed now, including the git tag.

Note to parties: git tag -d v1.4.4 is needed if you have the old one, as git fetch does not force-update tags by default like it does branches.
