• Security patch for CVE-2019-12246
  
• Correct PHP types are now returned from database queries
  
• Upgrade to React 16 in CMS
  
• Server Requirements have been refined: MySQL 5.5 end of life reached in December 2018, thus SilverStripe 4.4 requires MySQL 5.6+.
  
• SilverStripe 4.3 and prior still support MySQL 5.5 for their own lifetime.
  
• The name of the directory where vendor module resources are exposed can now be configured by defining a extra.resources-dir key in your composer.json file. If the key is not set, it will automatically default to resources. New projects will be preset to _resources. This will avoid potential conflict with SiteTree URL Segments.
  
• dev/build is now non-destructive for all Enums, not just ClassNames. This means your data won't be lost if you're switching between versions, but watch out for code that breaks when it sees an unrecognised value!
  
• Removed File.migrate_legacy_file config option. Migration tasks now need to run via dev/tasks/, running them as part of dev/build is no longer supported

• DataList, ArrayList and UnsavedRalationList all have columnUnique() method for fetching distinct column values

• New React-based search UI for the CMS, Asset-Admin, GridFields and ModelAdmins.
  
• A new GridFieldLazyLoader component can be added to GridField. This will delay the fetching of data until the user access the container Tab of the GridField.
  
• SilverStripe\VersionedAdmin\Controllers\CMSPageHistoryViewerController is now the default CMS history controller and SilverStripe\CMS\Controllers\CMSPageHistoryController has been deprecated.
  
• PHPUnit tests no longer auto-flush, requiring manual flush parameters when changing YAML config or certain PHP code

• All code earlier marked as deprecated for 4.0 has now been removed (check our deprecation process)
  
• All code has been migrated to follow the PSR-2 coding standard. Most significantly, all SilverStripe classes are now namespaced, and some have been renamed. This has major implications for arrangement of templates, as well as other references to classes via string literals or configuration. Automatic upgrading tools have been developed to cope with the bulk of these changes (see upgrading notes).
  
• Object class has been replaced with traits (details).
  
• Asset storage has been abstracted, and a new concept of DBFile references via database column references now exists in addition to references via the existing File dataobject. File security and protected files are now a core feature (details)

A new standard form schema API has been developed to allow back-end PHP constructed forms to scaffold themselves within ReactJS powered sections.
  
• CMS CSS has been re-developed using Bootstrap v4 as a base (blog post)
  
• Asset admin has been replaced with a purely ReactJS powered upgrade, and split out module called asset-admin.
  
• Versioning is now a much more powerful feature, with the addition of campaigns to allow batches of related or inter-dependent objects to be published as a single "changeset" (details).
  
• Dependencies between versioned objects can be declared using the new ownership API, so that developers can ensure that relational consistency is maintained during publishing (details) This new system can be managed via the new "Campaigns" CMS section (blog post)
  
• Template variable casting (e.g. <h1>$Title</h1>) is enforced by default, which will ensure safe HTML encode unless explicitly opted out (details)
  
• Themes are now configured to cascade, where you can specify a list of themes, and have the template engine search programatically through a prioritised list when resolving template and CSS file paths.
  
• Removed module path constants (e.g. FRAMEWORK_PATH) and support for hardcoded file paths (e.g. mysite/css/styles.css) (details)
  
• Replaced Zend_Translate with symfony/translation (details)
  
• Replaced Zend_Cache and the Cache API with a PSR-16 implementation (symfony/cache) (details)
  
• _ss_environment.php files have been removed in favour of .env and "real" environment variables (details).
  
• Behat support updated to v3 ( details)
  
• The GDBackend and ImagickBackend classes have been replaced by a unified InterventionBackend which uses the intervention/image library to power manipualations.
  
• Dependencies can managed via recipe-plugin. See recipe-core and recipe-cms as examples.
  
• Authentication has been upgraded to a modular approach using re-usable interfaces and easier to hook in to LoginHandlers (details).
  
• Core modules are installed in the vendor/ folder by default (other modules can opt-in, see guide)
  
• Renamed constant for temp folder from TEMP_FOLDER to TEMP_PATH for naming consistency with other path variables and constants
