Update Information:

**WordPress 4.4.1 Security and Maintenance Release** WordPress versions 4.4 and earlier are affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability that could allow a site to be compromised. This was reported by Crtc4L. There were also several non-security bug fixes: * Emoji support has been updated to include all of the latest emoji characters, including the new diverse emoji! 👍👌👏 * Some sites with older versions of OpenSSL installed were unable to communicate with other services provided through some plugins. * If a post URL was ever re-used, the site could redirect to the wrong post. WordPress 4.4.1 fixes 52 bugs from 4.4. For more information, see the [release notes](https://wordpress.org/documentation/wordpress-version/version-4-4-1/ or consult the [list of changes](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/query?milestone=4.4.1).
