chore(deps): update softprops/action-gh-release action to v3

v3.0.2

Compare Source

3.0.2 is a patch release focused on release reliability and compatibility. It reuses existing draft releases when publishing prereleases, supports replacing release assets on Gitea, hardens streamed asset uploads, and provides clearer release-creation diagnostics. It also includes TypeScript, coverage, and tooling maintenance merged since 3.0.1.

This release fixes #​795, #​438, and #​803. The upload transport hardening covers the historical failure reported in #​790, although current hosted Node 24 runners did not reproduce it naturally. The diagnostics work is related to #​786 and does not claim a reproducible release-creation fix.

What's Changed

Exciting New Features 🎉

• feat: improve release error reporting and test coverage by @​chenrui333 in #​813

Bug fixes 🐛

• fix: publish existing draft releases as prereleases by @​godfengliang in #​801

• fix: replace existing release assets on Gitea by @​chenrui333 in #​816

v3.0.1

Compare Source

3.0.1

• maintenance release with updated dependencies

v3.0.0

Compare Source

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

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.

v2.5.3

Compare Source

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.
