The current examples for using conventional-version and conventional-release will no longer work. This is caused by a change in actions/checkout@v2 which no longer fetches tags by default. In v2 the default changed to only fetch the last commit.
to get the same behavior with v2 as in v1 it is necessary to use the fetch-depth:0 option
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
with:
fetch-depth: 0
