Update node version to node20

[timheuer]

Fixes #404 updating the action to use node20

[s1204IT]

@softprops
Now that the node16 warning has started appearing, this should be addressed as soon as possible.

@softprops - would be great if this update could be actioned - thanks.

[jamesbuddrige]

+1 For upgrading this

[lxiaya]

update - thanks.

[steven-pribilinskiy]

@softprops merge it please

[peabee]

Now all we have to do is retagging the v1 tag!

Needs to be a new release...............??

[timheuer]

@softprops I'd recommend tagging as v2 (or major version bump). As an action owner myself, I updated other tags and had some consumers complain (rightfully) as because there are breaking changes between node16->node20 and thus having this in the flow caused other parts of their node scripts to fail, etc. So I re-released mine with major version bump for this reason. Just a thought ;-)

[ivanlemeshev]

Please create a new release. We need this action to work.

[timheuer]

As an alternate everyone you can modify your action to use a commit hash.

So you can use
softprops/action-gh-release@ 4634c16e79c963813287e889244c50009e7f0981

this will use the merged node20 commit.

@softprops Is there a plan to tag a new release? I'm wondering when I should update the GitHub actions in my projects. If the new tag will be released soon, I'd like to wait for it to avoid cluttering the history with a temporary change. If the new tag will not appear, I probably need to use the (temporary) solution suggested in #406 (comment).

We're currently awaiting compatibility of the latest tag with Node.js version 20. From my perspective, it would be advisable to consider a major version increment in light of this.

@softprops hasn't done anything in github for a couple of weeks, hope he's OK

[softprops]

Sorry folks hope to get to this soon. I'm through a layoff event in my life and trying to prioritize getting certain things in order.

[akinomyoga]

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. I can wait, so please take your time for your life. Needless to say, that's more important than GitHub Action. Don't worry, there are currently just warnings, and nothing is broken.

[mikeage]

I admit, I chuckled at the fact that of all the repos to be missing a release, it was this one ;-)

But seriously, I hope everything is ok and you're doing well. Work stress is never fun.

Hi man, working on an Open Source project for free is sometimes not rewarding. I can't promise we will find you a new job, but we are a small community here, if you need something from us, such as maintaining your OpenSource, sharing your LinkedIn post, connections, and so on, don't hesitate to ask 😍

[softprops]

thanks for the support folks

sorry for the huge delay. This should now be fixed.

You should now use softprops/action-gh-release@v2.

I've validated this in a test run repo here

PS. THANK YOU everyone for your emotional support. I really need(ed) it.
