 ### Features
 
-* **options:** simplify config by removing skip stale message options ([#457](https://github.com/actions/stale/issues/457)) ([6ec637d](https://github.com/actions/stale/commit/6ec637d238067ab8cc96c9289dcdac280bbd3f4a)), closes [#405](https://github.com/actions/stale/issues/405) [#455](https://github.com/actions/stale/issues/455)
-* **output:** print output parameters ([#458](https://github.com/actions/stale/issues/458)) ([3e6d35b](https://github.com/actions/stale/commit/3e6d35b685f0b2fa1a69be893fa07d3d85e05ee0))

 ### Bug Fixes
 
-* **dry-run:** forbid mutations in dry-run ([#500](https://github.com/actions/stale/issues/500)) ([f1017f3](https://github.com/actions/stale/commit/f1017f33dd159ea51366375120c3e6981d7c3097)), closes [#499](https://github.com/actions/stale/issues/499)

-* **operations:** fail fast the current batch to respect the operations limit ([#474](https://github.com/actions/stale/issues/474)) ([5f6f311](https://github.com/actions/stale/commit/5f6f311ca6aa75babadfc7bac6edf5d85fa3f35d)), closes [#466](https://github.com/actions/stale/issues/466)

-* **filtering comments by actor could have strange behavior**: "stale" comments are now detected based on if the message is the stale message not _who_ made the comment([#519](https://github.com/actions/stale/pull/519)), fixes [#441](https://github.com/actions/stale/pull/441), [#509](https://github.com/actions/stale/pull/509), [#518](https://github.com/actions/stale/pull/518)

 ### Breaking Changes
 
-* The options `skip-stale-issue-message` and `skip-stale-pr-message` were removed. Instead, setting the options `stale-issue-message` and `stale-pr-message` will be enough to let the stale workflow add a comment. If the options are unset, a comment will not be added which was the equivalent of setting `skip-stale-issue-message` to `true`.
-* The `operations-per-run` option will be more effective. After migrating, you could face a failed-fast process workflow if you let the default value (30) or set it to a small number. In that case, you will see a warning at the end of the logs (if enabled) indicating that the workflow was stopped sooner to avoid consuming too much API calls. In most cases, you can just increase this limit to make sure to process everything in a single run.

+The issues or the pull requests will be marked as stale if the last update (based on [GitHub issue](https://docs.github.com/en/rest/reference/issues) field `updated_at`) is older than the idle number of days.  
+It means that any updates made, or any comments added to the issues or to the pull requests will restart the counter of days before marking as stale.  
+However, if you wish to ignore this behaviour so that the creation date (based on [GitHub issue](https://docs.github.com/en/rest/reference/issues) field `created_at`) only matters, you can disable the [ignore-updates](#ignore-updates) option.
 
 If set to a negative number like `-1`, no issues or pull requests will be marked as stale automatically.  
 In that case, you can still add the stale label manually to mark as stale.
