[ANN] Magma 1.0 release 44

[Chris Muller]

Hi Ramiro, something happened between Pharo1.0-10502-rc1dev09.12.2.
and 10508 related to Networking.  Please see:

  http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/pipermail/pharo-project/2010-February/021912.html

I am not sure what happened.  Perhaps someone on the Pharo team would elaborate?

 - Chris
