EDIT (10th June 2023): Betaflight 4.4.2 is now available. See another thread HERE for details.
Betaflight maintenance release 4.4.1 was published a few hours ago. Details of the fixes since Betaflight 4.4.0 are below along with any relevant links.
One important fix to note in this release is to the AA filter for the ICM426XX gyros (issue #12444) that were causing some people who were running those gyros some significant issues.
Unfortunately it doesn't look like the GPS Rescue improvements (PR #12343) were included in this maintenance release because there is no mention of it in the release notes and that PR only appears to have been merged into the master branch, so it looks like we will have to wait for Betaflight 4.5 before we get those improvements, or use a nightly build of the master branch. EDIT: The GPS Rescue improvements did actually make it into this maintenance release after all, but under a different PR (#12413) which isn't listed anywhere in the official Betaflight 4.4.1 release notes. I have therefore now added an additional entry to the list below for that under the "Improvements" heading even though it's still not listed in the official release notes on GitHub.
IMPORTANT NOTE: User's of H7 FC's that utilises an SD Card for blackbox logging should be aware that a bug in Betaflight 4.4.1 prevents the FC from logging data to the SD Card. More details are in post #11 of this thread.
