[Ask] Define Previous tag compare on release note

How to set previous tag compare?

[jackmpcollins]

I would also like to set the previous_tag_name parameter when creating the github release notes. It looks like this is only an option when creating the release notes independently of creating the release - from github docs https://docs.github.com/en/rest/releases/releases#generate-release-notes-content-for-a-release

This would be awesome, currently we use https://github.com/mikepenz/release-changelog-builder-action to first get the release notes and then put them into this action here. But if we could leave the extra step out, it would be awesome!

Same here, can't be upvoted enough.

This looks it would touch two TypeScript files, the YAML schema for the Action, the documentation, and a unit test.

Is anyone else considering implementing this soon?

I think this will be solved by this PR : https://github.com/softprops/action-gh-release/pull/372
