v3.0.0

3.0.0 is a major release that moves the action runtime from Node 20 to Node 24. Use v3 on GitHub-hosted runners and self-hosted fleets that already support the Node 24 Actions runtime. If you still need the last Node 20-compatible line, stay on v2.6.2.

What's Changed

Other Changes 🔄

• Move the action runtime and bundle target to Node 24
• Update @types/node to the Node 24 line and allow future Dependabot updates
• Keep the floating major tag on v3; v2 remains pinned to the latest 2.x release

v2.6.1

2.6.1 is a patch release focused on restoring linked discussion thread creation when discussion_category_name is set. It fixes [#764](https://github.com/softprops/action-gh-release/issues/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.

v2.6.0

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.
