+fedpkg 1.44 Release Notes
+=========================
+
+Released on *February 20, 2023*
+
+This release requires ``rpkg >= 1.66-1``. rpkg-1.66 `release notes`_
+
+.. _`release notes`: https://docs.pagure.org/rpkg/releases/1.66.html
+
+Python compatibility
+--------------------
+
+fedpkg works with Python 2.7, 3.6, 3.9, 3.10 and 3.11
+
+What's new in fedpkg 1.44
+-------------------------
+
+Set default_branch_merge to 'rawhide'
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+In Fedora, the principle is to perform all modifications in 'Rawhide' first. Thus, it makes sense to assume that any work that happens outside of an established dist-git repository is targeting Rawhide. Previously, the user had to manually specify ``--release rawhide`` on every invocation.
+
+Define 'default_branch_merge()' to return 'rawhide', so that 'rawhide' is the default release when there is no Git repository.
+
+New command ``disable-monitoring``
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+After the repository is retired, its monitoring needs to be disabled `[1]`_. The project after its retirement might still be marked as active in the PDC. Therefore after successful ``retire`` operation, a REST API request is automatically sent to disable such monitoring.
+
+Operation can be triggered even manually:
+::
+
+    fedpkg [--path <path_to_the_repo>] disable-monitoring
+
+To send the request, a user needs the proper dist-git token set in the fedpkg's configuration. Instruction on how to do that can be seen in the command's help:
+::
+
+    fedpkg disable-monitoring -h|--help
+
+_`[1]`: https://pagure.io/releng/issue/10724
+
+Add Jenkinsfile for CI
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Current nodes of `[2]`_ are running in legacy mode and will be removed. We need to update related jobs to use new infra. See `[3]`_ and `[4]`_ for more info.
+
+| _`[2]`: https://jenkins-fedora-infra.apps.ocp.ci.centos.org/job/fedpkg
+| _`[3]`: https://pagure.io/centos-infra/issue/829
+| _`[4]`: https://sigs.centos.org/guide/ci/
+
+``fedpkg update``: can handle $EDITOR with arguments
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Process the $EDITOR environment value first - it can (again) contain additional arguments. For example 'EDITOR=emacs -nw'.
+
