New and Noteworthy (since XWiki 8.4.3)
Full list of issues fixed and Dashboard for 8.4.4.
For Users
Improved avatar image quality
XWiki supports server-side image resizing since version 2.5 but the quality of the scaled images was poor up until now. Starting with this version we're using the Thumbnailator library which leads to better image quality. This is most noticeable in the case of the user avatars.
For Admins
Attachments are not loaded in memory anymore when imported: The XAR input filter used to load an entire attachment in memory before sending it to the Instance output. It's now stored in a temporary file before being sent as an InputStream.
