+## 2.6.1
+
+`2.6.1` is a patch release focused on restoring linked discussion thread creation when

+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.
