Let me clear this up a bit. We had begun to spin a 1.4.4. It went
through QA and we were preparing to release it when a whole bunch of
CVEs came out against OpenSSL.

Instead of releasing with known security issues, we decided to hold
off, kill 1.4.4, get 1.6.1 and 1.5.3 out first and then revisit what
will now be 1.4.5.

So, yes. We have a tag for it but never (fortunately) officially released it.
