+## Week 46 (November 14th – November 20th)
+
+- Packit now supports pre-release version in `propose_downstream` and `pull_from_upstream`.
+  A spec file update might be required, see the documentation for more details.
+  ([packit#2149](https://github.com/packit/packit/pull/2149))
+  - In relation to that, specfile library has a new method, `Specfile.update_version()`, that allows updating spec file
+    version even if it is a pre-release. ([specfile#317](https://github.com/packit/specfile/pull/317))
+- Packit can now check, using the new `update_version_mask` configuration option, that the proposed version of new release
+  and the current version of the dist-git branch are compatible and sync the dist-git branch only in that case.
+  ([packit#2156](https://github.com/packit/packit/pull/2156))
+- Packit is now able to get the version from specfile even if the `Version` tag is not present in the specfile directly,
+  but e.g. imported from another file. ([packit#2157](https://github.com/packit/packit/pull/2157))
+- `PACKIT_COPR_PROJECT` env var that is exposed to Testing Farm now includes the Copr project of the additional build
+  specified in comment, if present. ([packit-service#2253](https://github.com/packit/packit-service/pull/2253))
