-Main (unreleased)
------------------
+v0.27.1 (2022-09-09)
+-------------------------
+
+> **NOTE**: ARMv6 Docker images are no longer being published.
+> 
+> We have stopped publishing Docker images for ARMv6 platforms. 
+> This is due to the new Ubuntu base image we are using that does not support ARMv6. 
+> The new Ubuntu base image has less reported CVEs, and allows us to provide more 
+> secure Docker images. We will still continue to publish ARMv6 release binaries and 
+> deb/rpm packages.
+
+### Other Changes
+
+ - Switch docker image base from debian to ubuntu. (@captncraig)
