Version 1.2.0

release-notes-from-changelog

GitHub action that extracts release notes from an existing changelog.

Changes in this version:

1.2.0 - 2022-01-11

Added

• Test case for missing URL for footnote-style markdown link in CHANGELOG.md
• Icon and color info in YAML file.

Changed

• Split main script into multiple steps and added more output for better debugging.
• Final grep step is now only run if the link pattern can actually be found in the changelog.
  If not, a warning is printed.
• Switches to uses: ./ to use local version of action in all CI/CD scripts.
  This avoids the need to specify the action version within the CI/CD scripts and ensures that the current version is used.
• Uses GitHub CLI instead of unmaintained actions/create-release both in README example and release script.
• Adjusted name and description in YAML file to match requirements of GH marketplace.

Fixed

• Major version tags for actions such as v1 should always point to the most recent version with that prefix.
  This was not true for v1 in this repo before.
