 The script will check the following conditions:
 1. **Is today a release day?**
     - The script checks if today is a specified in ReleaseConfig weekday that falls on the release cycle of the team.
+    - Note that if the job is triggered manually, this condition will be bypassed.
 2. **Is the [Unreleased] section of the CHANGELOG.md not empty?**
