+### Fixes
+- Fixed the issue in `deck file kong2tf` command where users were facing a panic error with using jwt plugins when passing an empty list to cookie_names field. [#1399](https://github.com/Kong/deck/pull/1399)
+- Bumped up go-apiops library. The updated lib has a fix for `deck file openapi2kong` command where parameters.required field was coming as null, if not passed by user. [#1400](https://github.com/Kong/deck/pull/1400) [go-apiops #205](https://github.com/Kong/go-apiops/pull/205)
+- Bumped up go-kong library. The updated lib prevents unset plugin's configuration "record" fields to be filled with empty tables: {}
+for deck files. Since, deck doesn't fill defaults anymore, this fix ensures that deck doesn't pass empty record fields while syncing plugin configurations.
