+Version 4.4.12
+==============
+
+Version 4.4.12 of mod_wsgi can be obtained from:
+
+  https://codeload.github.com/GrahamDumpleton/mod_wsgi/tar.gz/4.4.12

+For details on the availability of Windows binaries see:

+
+Bugs Fixed
+----------
+
+1. If the WSGI application when run under daemon mode returned response
+content as many small blocks, this could result in excessive memory
+usage in the Apache child worker process proxying the request due to
+many buckets being buffered until the buffer size threshold was reached.
+If the number of buckets reaches a builtin threshold the buffered data
+will now be forcibly flushed even if the size threshold hadn't been
+reached.
