Full Changelog: softprops/action-gh-release@v2...v2.6.2

v2.6.1

Compare Source

2.6.1 is a patch release focused on restoring linked discussion thread creation when
discussion_category_name is set. It fixes #764, where the draft-first publish flow
stopped carrying the discussion category through the final publish step.

If you still hit an issue after upgrading, please open a report with the bug template and include a minimal repro or sanitized workflow snippet where possible.

What's Changed

Bug fixes 🐛

• fix: preserve discussion category on publish by @​chenrui333 in #​765

v2.6.0

Compare Source

2.6.0 is a minor release centered on previous_tag support for generate_release_notes,
which lets workflows pin GitHub's comparison base explicitly instead of relying on the default range.
It also includes the recent concurrent asset upload recovery fix, a working_directory docs sync,
a checked-bundle freshness guard for maintainers, and clearer immutable-prerelease guidance where
GitHub platform behavior imposes constraints on how prerelease asset uploads can be published.

If you still hit an issue after upgrading, please open a report with the bug template and include a minimal repro or sanitized workflow snippet where possible.

Exciting New Features 🎉

• feat: support previous_tag for generate_release_notes by @​pocesar in #​372

v2.5.3

Compare Source

2.5.3 is a patch release focused on the remaining path-handling and release-selection bugs uncovered after 2.5.2.
It fixes #639, #571, #280, #614, #311, #403, and #368.
It also adds documentation clarifications for #541, #645, #542, #393, and #411,
where the current behavior is either usage-sensitive or constrained by GitHub platform limits rather than an action-side runtime bug.

If you still hit an issue after upgrading, please open a report with the bug template and include a minimal repro or sanitized workflow snippet where possible.

v2.5.2

It fixes #705, fixes #708, fixes #740, fixes #741, and fixes #722.
Regression testing covers the shared-tag race, prerelease event behavior, dotfile asset labels,
same-filename concurrent uploads, and blocked-tag cleanup behavior.
