 ### Fixed
 
 - Mitigate security hazard of deploying token contracts https://github.com/o1-labs/o1js/issues/1439
+- Make `Circuit` handle types with a `.provable` property (like those used in ECDSA) https://github.com/o1-labs/o1js/pull/1471
+  - To support offchain, non-Pickles proofs of ECDSA signatures
