+Due to a mistake on our end playing with GitHub's new [immutable releases](https://github.blog/changelog/2025-10-28-immutable-releases-are-now-generally-available/) feature that prevented our CI from uploading additional release assets, Certbot 5.2.0 was not and will not be uploaded to most platforms.
