-*It is recommended to manually specify a version of semantic-release to prevent errors caused during the official semantic-release upgrade.*
+If no version range is specified with `cycjimmy/semantic-release-action@v3` then [semantic-release](https://github.com/semantic-release/semantic-release/) version [19.0.5](https://github.com/semantic-release/semantic-release/releases/tag/v19.0.5) is used. Earlier versions of `cycjimmy/semantic-release-action` default to using the latest version of [semantic-release](https://github.com/semantic-release/semantic-release/), so in this case it is recommended to specify version 19 or lower to avoid compatibility issues.

+*Note: [Version 20.0.0](https://github.com/semantic-release/semantic-release/releases/tag/v20.0.0) of [semantic-release](https://github.com/semantic-release/semantic-release/) and later is currently incompatible with `cycjimmy/semantic-release-action`, since it requires Node.js 18. GitHub does not provide this environment yet [for JavaScript actions](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/creating-actions/metadata-syntax-for-github-actions#runs-for-javascript-actions).*
