 This release also includes a fix to the proof verification logic for `PacketTimeout`s, which was verifying an incorrect field. It also bumps the minimum-supported version of `ibc-proto` to 0.44, and the version of `tendermint` to 0.36. Note that the minimum-supported Rust version was reverted back to
 1.71.1.
