Blender has released version 4.4, which focuses on stability following a significant initiative called the 'Winter of Quality' in the 2024-2025 northern hemisphere winter. There is a strong pride among users regarding Blender's recognition within the FLOSS (Free/Libre and Open Source Software) community, especially after achievements that include Oscar-winning productions. Users expressed admiration for how Blender developers are dedicated to quality, a sentiment not shared by all 3D software developers. Additionally, the trend of improving release notes and celebrating individual contributions in the open source sphere is appreciated. However, some users criticized the submission's initial title for its misleading nature and called for a greater acknowledgment of personal contributions within the community.
