Relaxing/disabling version validation

[skilkis]

First of all thank you for this awesome changelog query tool! I am using the clq indirectly with your GitHub Action but I posted the issue here directly since it is with regards to disabling the version validation. The issue I encounter is that I usually have an Added section for minor releases. As long as it is backwards comaptible, having an Added section is valid according to semver. However, right now the clq throws an error which terminates the GitHub Action.

Is it then possible to have an Added section also for minor releases? If not it would be great to have a new validation mode which does not validate the version but still checks the syntax of the changelog 😄

EDIT: Perhaps it's also an idea to add a quiet mode that raises warnings instead of errors, so the GitHub Action can continue and give an output.

I have switched over to using, https://github.com/mindsers/changelog-reader-action, which supports the feature I wanted to see. Therefore, I'm closing the issue here. Thanks again for this tool, best of luck!

It is possible since version 1.6.4 to define a custom mapping of the change kind (eg Added) to the version increment.
The latest version (1.8.0) even supports defining custom change kind, and change kinds that do not trigger a version change; these latest changes being out of the spec but support, eg, translations.
