+### Changed
+- Changed the supported Circom version from 2.0.7 to 2.1.6.
+- Suppress ANSI code in JSON logging for now, since the console shows the code raw, which is difficult to read.
+- Update gitignore file to ignore .venv for release_helpers
+
+### Fixed
+- Fix Docker image building by switching to path context (as opposed to the Git context which has issues with private Git submodules).
+- Fix username and password for Docker base image build
+
