v2.5.3

Compare Source

2.5.3 is a patch release focused on the remaining path-handling and release-selection bugs uncovered after 2.5.2.
It fixes #639, #571, #280, #614, #311, #403, and #368.
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.
