[ANN] opam 2.5.0~rc1 & opam-publish 2.7.1

Hi everyone,

We are happy to announce the first release candidate of opam 2.5.0, which boasts a grand total of zero (0) changes compared to 2.5.0~beta1!

We also take this opportunity to announce the release of opam-publish 2.7.1, whose full release notes can be seen here.

Changes in opam-publish 2.7.1

In 2.7.0, opam-publish changed the way user’s branches are pushed to their GitHub forks before opening a PR, switching from using SSH keys to using the GitHub API token that opam-publish already requires.

2.7.1 fixes a couple of bugs related to that where opam-publish stopped working if the GitHub Action workflow files of upstream opam-repository are changed, owing to the way GitHub token permissions work.
Thanks to @filipeom both for the original contribution in 2.7.0 and for subsequent work on it in 2.7.1.

Read our blog post for more details.

Please report any issues to the opam bug-tracker or the opam-publish bug-tracker.
