actions Added a optional parameter to define a fixed tag for changelog generation

When doing with your action an automatic "nightly" release with a fixed tag name it currently only generates the changelog between current and old tag. For this usecase its better to have an additional parameter to define a fixed tag as changelog reference.

I think this might be related to https://github.com/marvinpinto/actions/issues/68. I want to think about what the API will look like before adding more options. I'll leave this open for now.

+1 on this, it would be really valuable to be able to specify the previous tag the changelog should be generated from

This would likely also be valuable for #16 and #212

having a possibility to define something like HEAD~1 would be very nice, when is repository often rebased against some upstream project, where the commit diff can be huge.

@marvinpinto any chances to see this picked up again? What API would you like instead? I could maybe work on something.
