+- Update to 5.99.44
+  + fixed crashes on Windows
+  + small bug fix on synchronization of investment accounts
+  + initial work on AqFinTS
+  + add "chipTAN-QR" to the list of TAN method names (DKB uses
+    "Q1S" as TAN method ID to designate chipTAN-QR; fortunately,
+    the TAN method name "chipTAN-QR" is more expressive)
+  + enable optical TAN methods for aqanking-cli and aqhbci-tool4
