 # Changelog
 
+## [1.5.44] - 09/22/2025
+
+### Features
+* (**eks**) Adds support for RepairConfig overrides and configurations in EKS Managed Node Groups.
+* (**imagebuilder**) Version ARNs are no longer required for the EC2 Image Builder list-image-build-version, list-component-build-version, and list-workflow-build-version APIs. Calling these APIs without the ARN returns all build versions for the given resource type in the requesting account.
+
+### Documentation
+* (**batch**) Starting in JAN 2026, AWS Batch will change the default AMI for new Amazon ECS compute environments from Amazon Linux 2 to Amazon Linux 2023. We recommend migrating AWS Batch Amazon ECS compute environments to Amazon Linux 2023 to maintain optimal performance and security.
