Fixed Issues:
The grayscale visualization associated with Noise Reduction Luminance was visible after mouse release. This occurred when positive Clarity was present.
The command/control + A “select all” keyboard shortcut did not select all photos.
Modifying the brush size using the Right-click + Drag method did not increase or decrease the brush size by the desired amount.
The crop overlay tool resized incorrectly when used in conjunction with the “Constrain to Crop” checkbox in the Lens Correction panel.
Hovering the mouse over a local adjustment pin would turn off the desired mask.
Horizontal artifacts occasionally appeared in DNG files.
Improved interactive performance at intermediate zoom levels (e.g., 33% and 66%)

Unfortunately, LR 4.4 does not fix a bug that has bit me. No change from 4.3.
I use LR as a catalog of my images (30K- but size is not important). When I select images by keyword and then edit in PS CS 6, the resulting new file gets lost. It has the proper keywords, but LR does not recognize them. The image is in the right folder and has the right keywords highlighted, but they keywords are not in the index.
My workaround, go back to the folder, delete and add the keywords to the new file. Or use bridge. Or find with the keyword, then go to the folder, edit in PS.
I discussed this with Adobe about 6 or 9 weeks ago, they recognized it but it was too late for 4.4.

Running 4.4RC on my rMBP, not seeing any performance changes over 4.3. 4.3 was the first version I ran on this machine, so I have no benchmark, but I was hoping zooming and and switching between Library and Develop would be smoother.
