published_at for releases

[eduard5557]

Hi,

all these releases here on github have
published_at="2026-05-04...".
Can you make so the published date correspond to the actual date it appear on github?
I have an update script which use
https://api.github.com/repos/GyanD/codexffmpeg/releases/latest
The script check if a new version appear in your repos, and decide if it downloads the zip or not.

Thank you

Maybe this because the "latest" marked release is not the recently published one, but "ffmpeg 8.1.1 builds" and it was published on 2026-05-04.

If you're going to switch to https://api.github.com/repos/GyanD/codexffmpeg/releases, note that the tags of newer releases are binding to the commit 4646599 that is created on 2026-05-04: https://github.com/GyanD/codexffmpeg/tags. You may need to check the updated_at or published_at field instead.

I can't find any comparison about those three fields on https://docs.github.com/en/rest/releases/releases, though: created_at, updated_at, and published_at.
