+- Fix signing when using the final Gradle 8.0 release.
+- Finding a matching staging profile in Sonatype is more lenient. If there is just one that one will always be used.
+  The plugin will also fallback to any staging profile that has a matching prefix with the group id.
 - As a workaround for an issue in Gradle that causes invalid module metadata for `java-test-fixtures` projects, `project.group`
   and `project.version` are now being set again for those projects. [#490](https://github.com/vanniktech/gradle-maven-publish-plugin/pull/490)
