The Lazarus team is glad to announce the release of Lazarus 1.4.4.

This release was built with FPC 2.6.4, same as the previous release Lazarus 1.4.2.

Here is the list of fixes for Lazarus 1.4.4:
http://wiki.freepascal.org/Lazarus_1.4_fixes_branch#Merged_revisions_for_1.4.4

Here is the list of changes for Lazarus and Free Pascal: http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Lazarus_1.4.0_release_notes http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/User_Changes_2.6.4

Important note for Mac OS X: OS X 10.10 Yosemite no longer supports the default debugging format of FPC 2.6.4 (-g stabs). Lazarus now uses -gw (dwarf) instead on darwin.

The release is available for download on SourceForge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/lazarus/files/

Choose your CPU, OS, distro and then the "Lazarus 1.4.4" directory. Windows x64 users: please use the 32 bit installer if possible. See http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Windows_Programming_Tips#FPC_2.6.x.2FLazarus_warning_.28Missing_support_for_SEH.29 for more details.

Minimum requirements:
Windows: 98, 2k, XP, Vista, 7, 8, 32 or 64bit. On 64bit it is recommended to use the 32bit IDE.
Win98 and WinNT IDE needs building with flag
-dWIN9XPLATFORM.
FreeBSD/Linux: gtk 2.8 or qt4.5, 32 or 64bit.
Mac OS X: 10.5 to 10.10, 10.9+ debugging requires -gw, LCL only 32bit, non LCL apps can be 64bit.

The svn tag is
http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus/tags/lazarus_1_4_4

For people who are blocked by SF, the Lazarus releases from SourceForge are mirrored at:
ftp://freepascal.dfmk.hu/pub/lazarus/releases/
and later at (after some time for synchronization) http://michael-ep3.physik.uni-halle.de/Lazarus/releases/ and

That's not really correct: it's Xcode 7 that doesn't support this anymore. Xcode 7 is available for OS X 10.10 and OS X 10.11 (but on OS X 10.10 you can also use Xcode 6.4, which does still support stabs).

In any case, it will prevent a lot of future questions on the lazarus forum, thanks :)

I see.
The software update suggested it and I simply clicked the default, so I assumed that it is bundled.

Hopefully it will not run out of questions. ;)
