New and Noteworthy (since XWiki 8.4.3)
Full list of issues fixed and Dashboard for 8.4.4.
For Users
Improved avatar image quality
XWiki supports server-side image resizing since version 2.5 but the quality of the scaled images was poor up until now. Starting with this version we're using the Thumbnailator library which leads to better image quality. This is most noticeable in the case of the user avatars.
For Admins
Attachments are not loaded in memory anymore when imported: The XAR input filter used to load an entire attachment in memory before sending it to the Instance output. It's now stored in a temporary file before being sent as an InputStream.
For Developers

General Notes
When upgrading make sure you compare your xwiki.cfg, xwiki.properties and web.xml files with the newest version since some configuration parameters may have been modified or added. Note that you should add xwiki.store.migration=1 so that XWiki will attempt to automatically migrate your current database to the new schema. Make sure you backup your Database before doing anything.
API Breakages
No API has been broken since XWiki 8.4.3!
