 ## v2.7.10 (2020-03-10)
 
 **Note:** If your deployment requires any non-core Python packages (such as `napalm`, `django-storages`, or `django-auth-ldap`), list them in a file named `local_requirements.txt` in the NetBox root directory (alongside `requirements.txt`). This will ensure they are detected and re-installed by the upgrade script when the Python virtual environment is rebuilt.
