Well, AFAIK there is currently a packaging issue with one of the
supported platforms. 1.4.5 will be released, when this issue is fixed.

/me checks the ftp server for version

Dunno, but is should be about the same as 1.4.4 version. From my local
copy, Mandrake 9.1:

  9352143  evolution-1.4.4-0.ximian.6.1.i586.rpm
    61234  gnome-spell1.0-1.0.5-0.ximian.6.1.i586.rpm
  5186264  gtkhtml3.0-3.0.8-0.ximian.6.1.i586.rpm
   570382  libgal2.0_5-1.99.9-0.ximian.6.1.i586.rpm
    12869  libgal2.0-modules-1.99.9-0.ximian.6.1.i586.rpm
   282079  libgtkhtml3.0_2-3.0.8-0.ximian.6.1.i586.rpm
   673434  libsoup-1.99.24-0.ximian.6.1.i586.rpm

That's about 16 MByte. But as you are still running 1.0.8 and didn't
note your Distro, you may need a lot more to get that Gnome 2 app
running...
