GitHub Action that output the next version for major, minor, and patch version based on the given semver version.

This action supports the following options.

The version we want to have the next versions for.

• Required: Yes
• Type: string
• Example: v1.2.3 or 1.2.3

Strict version validation, when turned off, the version is suffixed with .0 until it contains 3 x ..

• Required: No
• Type: string
• Example: true or false

This action output 6 slightly different outputs. A new major, minor, and patch version and a variant of those prefixed with a v. For example when you input 1.2.3 it will give you the following outputs:

• major: 2.0.0
• minor: 1.3.0
• patch: 1.2.4
• v_major: v2.0.0
• v_minor: v1.3.0
• v_patch: v1.2.4

In addition, if your input contains an indicator that it is a pre-release (e.g., 1.2.3-alpha), the output for patch version changes accordingly (while the behaviour for major and minor are not affected and work as usual):

• major: 2.0.0
• minor: 1.3.0
• patch: 1.2.3
• v_major: v2.0.0
• v_minor: v1.3.0
• v_patch: v1.2.3

The following example works together with the WyriHaximus/github-action-get-previous-tag and WyriHaximus/github-action-create-milestone actions. Where it uses the output from that action to supply a set of versions for the next action, which creates a new milestone. (This snippet has been taken from the automatic code generation of wyrihaximus/fake-php-version.)
