+## Week 41 (October 10th – October 16th)
+
+- (_breaking_) Packit no longer accepts `packit.json` or `.packit.json` as a configuration file name.
+  ([packit#2123](https://github.com/packit/packit/pull/2123))
+- We have implemented several improvements in syncing the release downstream:
+  - Packit now updates ACL of its own dist-git forks to allow users and groups with commit rights to the original
+    dist-git repo to push directly to a fork. ([packit#2112](https://github.com/packit/packit/pull/2112))
+  - Packit now also properly cleans up the branch after syncing the release which should prevent unwanted files
+    (e.g. tarballs) being committed to dist-git. ([packit#2125](https://github.com/packit/packit/pull/2125))
+  - We have adjusted the way how Packit includes the resolved bugzillas in the commit messages created when syncing the release
+    downstream so that the resolved bugzillas are included in changelog when using `%autochangelog`.
+    ([packit#2126](https://github.com/packit/packit/pull/2126))
+- Packit now reacts to retriggering comments for downstream jobs by commenting on the same issue/PR and
+  providing information about the jobs. ([packit-service#2222](https://github.com/packit/packit-service/pull/2222))
+- We have fixed an issue that prevented you from running the jobs on the GitLab.com due to failing resolution
+  of the upstream/downstream relationship for the cloned project. ([packit#2120](https://github.com/packit/packit/pull/2120))
+- Packit now triggers the build for the `/packit test` comment command if the last build was not successful.
+  ([packit-service#2228](https://github.com/packit/packit-service/pull/2228))
+
+And special thanks to [@SpyTec](https://github.com/SpyTec)
