## Purpose of this PR This PR follows on #3677 because even though we don't need to execute release.py when packing the package (due to existing pvp exception) nor vetting test job (uses upm-ci which does not run PVP checks) we should future proof release.py and similar scripts from making this mistake. The main reason why the release.py was causing the package pack to fail on windows is that when you open a file in text mode ('w') on Windows, Python's default behavior is to convert each newline character (\n) into the platform's standard line separator, which is \r\n (CRLF). This can cause inconsistencies when the file is used in environments that expect \n (LF), such as Git. The solution was to ensure that we are specifying the newline like `with open(path, 'w', encoding='UTF-8', newline='\n') as file:` ### Jira ticket N/A ## Documentation N/A ## Testing & QA (How your changes can be verified during release Playtest) PR trigger check was green and I verified that when release.py command was included in pack job the results were green (see **[THIS](https://unity-ci.cds.internal.unity3d.com/job/56280166)** job) ## Backports Backport to `develop` branch in #3681
