 Note that the only difference between `v2` and `v3` of the CodeQL Action is the node version they support, with `v3` running on node 20 while we continue to release `v2` to support running on node 16. For example `3.22.11` was the first `v3` release and is functionally identical to `2.22.11`. This approach ensures an easy way to track exactly which features are included in different versions, indicated by the minor and patch version numbers.

 ## Releasing (write access required)
 
 1. The first step of releasing a new version of the `codeql-action` is running the "Update release branch" workflow.
-    This workflow goes through the pull requests that have been merged to `main` since the last release, creates a changelog, then opens a pull request to merge the changes since the last release into the `releases/v2` release branch.

     You can start a release by triggering this workflow via [workflow dispatch](https://github.com/github/codeql-action/actions/workflows/update-release-branch.yml).
-1. The workflow run will open a pull request titled "Merge main into releases/v2". Mark the pull request as [ready for review](https://docs.github.com/en/github/collaborating-with-pull-requests/proposing-changes-to-your-work-with-pull-requests/changing-the-stage-of-a-pull-request#marking-a-pull-request-as-ready-for-review) to trigger the PR checks.
-1. Review the checklist items in the pull request description.
-    Once you've checked off all but the last two of these, approve the PR and automerge it.
-1. When the "Merge main into releases/v2" pull request is merged into the `releases/v2` branch, the "Tag release and merge back" workflow will create a mergeback PR.
-    This mergeback incorporates the changelog updates into `main`, tags the release using the merge commit of the "Merge main into releases/v2" pull request, and bumps the patch version of the CodeQL Action.
