Release process fails as show here.
This issue tracks changes made to fix that problem:

• Auto commit change log only if changes detected #104
• Enable push to protected branch #102
• Generate changelog for each commit #101
• Fetch entire history for release #106
• Use PAT for changelog operations #109
• Prevent circular updated for changelog #108

Origin and resolution:

Problem originated from a simple fact that actions/checkout fetches just a single commit. That fact resulted in changelog action knowing only about latest tag without a knowledge about any previous tag. Once full history has been fetched everything started to work.

TBH this is not really a proper fix, more of a hack. Reason why I say this is that I should try and fetch up to latest_tag-1 of history and not more. For this plugin this is a not a big of a deal but bigger projects with dozens of changes or hundreds of changes? You know what I mean.
