GitHub Actions – update to job concurrency usage limits

The number of jobs you can run concurrently now depends on your GitHub plan and is shared across all repositories in your account. See Usage Limits for more information.

Two new issue template configuration options are now available for issue templates. These can be specified in a config.yml file within your .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE folder. The blank_issues_enabled option allows you to show or hide the Create a blank issue choice when users select New issue in your repository. You can also refer users to another url during the template selection process by specifying contact_links in the configuration file.
