On Friday, 27 March 2020, FET-5.44.0 was released. From the ChangeLog:

- Changed the random number generator to a better one, MRG32k3a, by Pierre L'Ecuyer (used with permission). This has a longer period but, unfortunately, on some older/not so powerful computers/platforms (especially the 32-bit ones), this new random number generator might run (much) slower. But the generation time should be generally nearly the same or comparable, since the random numbers generation routine seems to take only about 3% of the generation time.
- Bug fix for the future Qt versions: Qt reverted back from the signal QComboBox::currentIndexChanged(int, const QString &) used in their snapshot to the signal QComboBox::currentIndexChanged(int). The combo boxes should work now correctly with the future versions of Qt.
- Code cleanup.

I would like to thank especially the user bachiri401, he helped me with testing the new version on many files.
