Update the images for vera.server, vera.web.portal, vera.worker.qtest, vera.api.qtest.routeactions, vera.api.routes.routeevents, vera.api.connections.testconnection, vera.worker.jobservice, vera.worker.jira, and vera.api.jira.routeactions within the docker-compose.yml file to match the desired release.
