Resources/Release notes

In this version, we've made several enhancements and updates to improve the overall performance and functionality of the application. Notable changes include switching from pip to poetry for package management, updating the dependabot.yml configuration, and bumping various dependencies such as FastAPI, asyncpg, and uvicorn in the backend. We've also implemented improvements in the Elector contract ABI XML and conducted cleanup in contracts. Additionally, we now mock ALL HTTP requests in tests for better testing practices.
