Version 4.4.1 fixes an upstream bug that causes failed tests, and a flood of these sort of errors: "nagios[]: wproc: Unrecognized result variable: (i=4) =1532623656" Upstream bug details here: https://sourceforge.net/p/nagios/mailman/message/29967646/ copying the 4.4.0 ebuilds net-analyzer/nagios and net-analyzer/nagios-core to -4.4.1 build and work without complaint.
Seems like notifications are broken in 4.4.0/4.4.1: https://github.com/NagiosEnterprises/nagioscore/issues/557 I personally downgraded to 4.3.4 where it works just fine.
I've not run into that bug, but if the same bug exists in 4.4.0, there's no point in keeping 4.4.0, and not bumping the ebuild to 4.4.1.
