+flux-core version 0.44.0 - 2022-10-04
+-------------------------------------
+
+This release includes initial support for job queues, which can be
+configured to partition resources with different limits and defaults.
+See `flux-config-queues(5)` for details.
+
+Other highlights include:
+
+ * Add ability to modify jobspec at the time of ingest with a new
+   job frobnicator framework similar to the existing validators.
+ * A new alternative to `system.R` for configuration of resources
+   (See `flux-config-resource(5)` for details)
+ * All child Flux instances are resilient to non-critical node failures
+ * Updates to `flux jobs` including better default output, a set of
+   new default named formats (See `flux jobs --format=help`), and support
+   for config files to add more named formats.
