+### Bug Fixes
+
+* **crc32c:** escape the version dot and anchor the pyenv check regex ([#17555](https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-python/issues/17555)) ([b6a0275](https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-python/commit/b6a027513422507f99662c840068249b84522a5c))
+
+
+### Documentation
+
+* **handwritten:** centralize CONTRIBUTING.rst pointers ([#17642](https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-python/issues/17642)) ([23b9499](https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-python/commit/23b94994bd5251493b81d91657d1f79a5d3c4b97))
