have build this other action with no intention to replace the complete functionality of this action but link for reference https://github.com/sbe-arg/simple-tags-and-releases

after similar issues with supporting https://github.com/anothrNick/github-tag-action where owners rarely answer any emails and repositories are locked without features necessary in the settings section and maintainers have to do weird un standardized magic to offer a so so solution.

what I have learned so far is that we endup with more bugs on each pr and thats when you get a flow of issues of all the people impacted by them.

these actions tend to be over engineered and attempt to fix all use cases in a single place leading to these problems.

Ill continue to merge prs and review within a few days of creation them but I won't actively do any engineering work on this project.

I have already started maintaining automatic-releases found here: https://github.com/crowbarmaster/GHactions

I had no original intentions of updating these other two, but after your request, I will re-add them to the project, and get them working with updated depends.

One thing however - without access to the original author's private testing repo, the tests are non-functioning on my own. I will do what I can to recreate these eventually, but I cannot make any guarantees. If someone else would like to re-write the tests to work with a public repo, feel free to open a PR!

Edit: you are a collaborator to this project - does anyone have force push capabilities? I can line this all back up to work with his original testing grounds and submit a PR if so.
