-### Jan 12th, 2023
+#### August 30th, 2023
+* Removed Python 3.6 support as it was causing dependency hell
+* Collection of bugfixes
+
+#### Jan 12th, 2023
 * Added support for resolving value definitions from references to other defined variables with the following syntax,`${spock.var:SpockClass.defined_variable}`
 * Added support for new fundamental types: (1) file: this is an overload of a str that verifies file existence and (r/w) access (2) directory: this is an overload of a str that verifies directory existence, creation if not existing, and (r/w) access
 * Deprecated support for `List` of repeated `@spock` decorated classes.
