+# Release Notes v2.2.44
+
+Dato: 4. marts 2026
+
+## Fixes
+- `updateto.sh` rydder nu automatisk legacy containere (`bmc-hub-api-v2`, `bmc-hub-postgres-v2`) før deploy.
+- Forebygger port-lock konflikter på især Postgres host-port (`5433`) under compose opstart.
+- Mission Control: automatisk timeout på hængende `ringing` opkald, så de ikke bliver stående i Incoming Calls.
+
+## Ændrede filer
+- `updateto.sh`
+- `app/dashboard/backend/mission_service.py`
+- `VERSION`
+
+## Drift
+- Deploy: `./updateto.sh v2.2.44`
+- Verificér: `curl http://localhost:8001/health`
