+## 2.6.0
+
+`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.
+
