Dataverse 4.4 is here!

Hi everyone - 

We're excited to release Dataverse version 4.4! Here's a quick summary from the release notes:

"This release contains feature enhancements for embedding content using widgets, downloading guestbook data for a dataverse in a consolidated fashion, and introduces a new feature, support for remote authentication using Shibboleth.

• Two new widgets: dataset and citation in addition to the existing widgets, dataverse listing and search box.
• Improved widget navigation: child objects open within widgets rather than redirecting to Dataverse.
• A new dataset metadata field, alternativeURL, can be used to link a dataset to an author's website.
• Shibboleth for remote authentication is now officially supported.
• Downloading guestbook data is now easier: all guestbook data for all datasets within a dataverse can be downloaded by one click."

As always, big thanks to the Dataverse team and community for everything related to this release and to the ongoing success of the project! 

- Danny
