Unless there are objections, I going to make a new patch release, 2.44.1, tomorrow after I have merged:

- [Windows builds in the Gitlab CI/CD pipeline (!1438) · Merge requests · graphviz / graphviz · GitLab](https://gitlab.com/graphviz/graphviz/-/merge_requests/1438)
- [CMake Graphviz version from autogen (!1440) · Merge requests · graphviz / graphviz · GitLab](https://gitlab.com/graphviz/graphviz/-/merge_requests/1440)
- [Update links to Windows install packages to point to www2.graphviz.org (!139) · Merge requests · graphviz / graphviz.gitlab.io · GitLab](https://gitlab.com/graphviz/graphviz.gitlab.io/-/merge_requests/139)

The main reason being that I want to be able to make up-to-date screenshots for the recommended (CMake) installation procedure with correct version information. For this, I need a stable release with the corrected CMake versioning above.

Please add any missing info that you might have to the [CHANGELOG.md](https://gitlab.com/graphviz/graphviz/-/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md) as soon as possible.

I’m now starting to do the patch release. Please don’t push or merge to master until I report back it’s completed.

The master pipeline is green and Appveyor is gone: [Pipeline · graphviz / graphviz · GitLab](https://gitlab.com/graphviz/graphviz/-/pipelines/161028225)

The links on the download page are updated: [Download | Graphviz](http://graphviz.org/download/)

The release is now completed, the versioning returned to the development series and the pipeline is green: [Pipeline · graphviz / graphviz · GitLab](https://gitlab.com/graphviz/graphviz/-/pipelines/161153737).

Heading for the docs…
