<blockquote>
<h2>v2.6.1</h2>
<p><code>2.6.1</code> is a patch release focused on restoring linked
discussion thread creation when
<code>discussion_category_name</code> is set. It fixes
<code>[#764](https://github.com/softprops/action-gh-release/issues/764)</code>,
where the draft-first publish flow
stopped carrying the discussion category through the final publish
step.</p>
<p>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.</p>

</ul>
<h2>v2.6.0</h2>
<p><code>2.6.0</code> is a minor release centered on
<code>previous_tag</code> support for
<code>generate_release_notes</code>,
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
<code>working_directory</code> 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.</p>
