Describe the bug

Getting an error with maintenance branch at latest.

npm install --save-dev @anolilab/multi-semantic-release@latest semantic-release@latest

@anolilab/multi-semantic-release at 2.0.9
semantic-release at 25.0.2

It expects context.latestRelease.gitHead when retrieving it, but is still a promise within create-inline-plugin-creator.js at generateNotes. I did some debugging fun within generateNotes and this worked after:

let gitHead = await context.lastRelease.gitHead;      
context.lastRelease.gitHead = gitHead;

Hey :), good catch, looks like the interface of import { getTagHead } from "semantic-release/lib/git.js";
did change, there is a fix in the alpha branch for now

[prisis]

multi-semantic-release v3 includes the fix

[Braagaa]

@prisis Thank you for the fix.
