+25.2.5 (March 10, 2026)
+=======================
+Bug-fix release in the 25.2.x series.
+
+This release restores compatibility with the treatment of multi-session data with
+older versions of fMRIPrep by providing the ``--no-track-sessions`` flag.
+Future versions of fMRIPrep may have different default behaviors for multi-session data,
+so please report any issues you encounter with either setting of this flag
+or multi-session data in general.

+  * FIX: Sanitize plus signs in from entities in workflow names (#3604)
+  * ENH: add ``--[no-]track-sessions`` flag to lessen session label strictness (#3614)
