Hi John,

No, it is not contemplated. 1.4.4 is mostly a bugfix release, and it will probably the last version of  the successful 1.4.x series.

We will release version 1.5.0 (= 1.6 Beta 1) when it's ready (this year), and from then on move towards the release candidates and finally 1.6.0. (hopefully this year). 1.5/1.6 will be a giant leap from 1.4.x in terms of features and UI changes, so we need some time to test and polish the programme as a whole. And then we need to take care of proper documentation ...
