0.1.2

• Add support for merging draft releases #16

GitHub's api doesn't explicitly have a way of fetching a draft release by tag name which caused draft releases to appear as separate releases when used in a build matrix. This is now fixed.

• Add support for newline-delimited asset list #18

GitHub actions inputs don't inherently support lists of things and one might like to append a list of files to include in a release. Previously this was possible using a comma-delimited list of asset path patterns to upload. You can now provide these as a newline delimieted list for better readability

- name: Release
  uses: softprops/action-gh-release@v1
  if: startsWith(github.ref, 'refs/tags/')
  with:
    files: |
      filea.txt
      fileb.txt
      filec.txt
  env:
    GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
