Hello from the CommCare Mobile Team,

The CommCare 2.44 pre-release is now available for QA. The pre-release is made available for any users or projects that would like to do their own testing of the next upcoming mobile release. As always, please report any issues you encounter in this pre-release version.

The most significant change made in this release was indexing the `external_id` case property to optimize queries using this value.

Thanks!
