New Releases Empty If There is a Pre-Release

[SkyeHoefling]

Description

Release notes will generate a list of issues that have been fixed between tags as well as all PRs that have been merged. If there is a pre-release build or any tag between the last release and the current release it will only show the differences from those tags. See example below.

Example

Consider you have already released v1.0.0 and are working on v1.1.0. The repository only has a tagged commit for v1.0.0. When you create a beta or release candidate build you may use the tag v1.1.0-RC0. This will kick off its own release notes process. When it is time to make the final v1.1.0 release it will only have the issues listed that were completed after v1.1.0-RC0 when it should have all issues between tag v1.0.0 and v1.1.0.
