Bumps softprops/action-gh-release from 1 to 3.

Release notes

Sourced from softprops/action-gh-release's releases.

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

v2.6.2

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

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.

What's Changed

Bug fixes 🐛

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.

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.

Superseded by #308, which updates to v3 while consolidating the duplicate release workflows, adding least-privilege permissions, and providing a non-publishing release-candidate validation job.

OK, I won't notify you again about this release, but will get in touch when a new version is available. If you'd rather skip all updates until the next major or minor version, let me know by commenting @dependabot ignore this major version or @dependabot ignore this minor version. You can also ignore all major, minor, or patch releases for a dependency by adding an ignore condition with the desired update_types to your config file.

If you change your mind, just re-open this PR and I'll resolve any conflicts on it.

Correction: #308 updates softprops/action-gh-release to v3 while consolidating the duplicate release workflows, adding least-privilege permissions, and providing a non-publishing release-candidate validation job.
