On Tuesday May 14th, I received the following email from LW:

"....This is a notice to Windows LimeWire Pro users who updated their
LimeWire over the weekend of May 10 to May 12. If you are using
LimeWire on a non-Windows operating system, this problem did not
affect you, and we apologize for bothering you with this message.

Over the above mentioned weekend, there was a bug in the automatic
updater for LimeWire that may have disabled your LimeWire system,
making it impossible to start the program a second time after
performing the update. We sincerely apologize for causing this
error. Fortunately, however, a fresh reinstall of LimeWire will
get it back up and running normally....."

In other words(?) LW 2.4.4 is the same(?) as LW 2.4.3 except for the
"Windows LW Pro users" but with a specific bug fix...

How many other LW versions have been released for similar reasons?

And, wouldn't a little version information on the download page help?
(especially for those who follow every incremental change)
There was no mention of this bug fix on my download page for LW 2.4.4
