We have fixed the behaviour for `dist-git init` command when `upstream-git-url` argument is specified.
Resolves: rhbz#2278839

Add a `scan-in-osh` subcommand in the CLI to perform a scan through OpenScanHub. By default, it performs a full scan of the packages and a differential scan can be performed through `--base-srpm` option. (#2301)
When running `dist-git init` command from CLI, you can pass a command to specify a git URL of the project. (#2308)

`packit dist-git init` now allows specifying `--version-update-mask` option and also any arbitrary top-level configuration options. (#2288)
We have fixed Packit auto-referencing Upstream Release Monitoring bug for release syncing to CentOS Stream. (#2284)
Resolves: rhbz#2276194

Packit previously put the "[packit]" string as a prefix in the subject of pull-from-upstream commits. Now the prefix is no longer there - this is made unnecessary noise in autochangelog. This affects the default. Custom action can still override this behavior. (#2263)
We have fixed a race condition that could occur when multiple `copr_build` jobs sharing a Copr project but having different targets were running at the same time. (#2274)
Resolves: rhbz#2273977

`packit validate-config` now checks whether `upstream_project_url` is set if `pull_from_upstream` job is configured. (#2254)
`Resolves` is changed to `Resolves:` for the dist-git commit since that's the correct format for CentOS Stream 9. (#2260)
Resolves: rhbz#2272077

Added new configuration options `status_name_template` and `allowed_builders`.
Resolves rhbz#2266037

Packit now checks the version to propose against the version in specfile and doesn't create downgrade PRs. (#2239)

Packit now supports `trigger: ignore` which can be used for templating by using the YAML. (#2234)
Packit now searches for bugzilla about new release created by Upstream Release Monitoring to reference each time it syncs the release downstream. (#2229)
Resolves rhbz#2264878

We have introduced new CLI command `packit dist-git init` that initializes Packit configuration for release automation in dist-git repository. (#2225)
`packit validate-config` now checks whether the Upstream Release Monitoring for the package is correctly configured if `pull_from_upstream` job is present in the configuration. (#2226)
There is a new global configuration option `parse_time_macros` that allows to configure macros to be explicitly defined or undefined at spec file parse time. (#2222)
Resolves rhbz#2259201

`pull-from-upstream` and `propose-downstream` commands now have the `--sync-acls` option that enables syncing the ACLs between dits-git repo and fork. The default behaviour was, however, changed to not sync the ACLs. (#2214)
Packit now properly handles exceptions when syncing ACLs during release syncing. (#2213)

We have fixed a bug in handling chroot-specific configuration once the chroots themselves are updated. (#2194)

We have fixed a bug preventing the release from being synced downstream if the changelog to be set is empty. (#2183)
Resolves rhbz#2257183

Packit now links the information related to upstream in PRs opened when syncing a release. (#2173)
Resolves rhbz#2252328

Packit now correctly sets the specfile content (e.g. changelog entry) even if it syncs the specfile from upstream the first time. (#2170)
Packit now supports pre-release version in `propose_downstream` and `pull_from_upstream`. A spec file update might be required, see the documentation for more details. (#2149)
Resolves rhbz#2251367

Packit _0.86.1_ was not released on PyPI due to an internal bug, it should be fixed in this release.

Packit no longer downloads sources excluded using spec file conditions. (#2132)
