Description
On the GitHub release page (https://github.com/ansys/actions/releases), an entry is added for each new release of the project.
For minor and major versions, a "What's Changed" section is available in these entries. I believe this section is meant to list all PRs that were added since the previous minor release.
However, currently a very long list of PRs including pretty old ones are provided in these sections (see for instance for v11.0.0 or v10.3.0, etc). It seems that for some reason these lists always start with PR #463.
On the other hand, the project's changelog provided in the online documentation seems to be perfectly fine (https://actions.docs.ansys.com/version/stable/changelog.html).

Research direction
Start by inspecting the GitHub release workflow or configuration that generates the release page, then compare the “What’s Changed” entries for v11.0.0 and v10.3.0 with the online changelog. Done means major and minor releases list only the PRs added since the previous minor release, without older entries such as PR #463.
