-## Versioning
-
-This project follows a `v(major).(patch)` versioning scheme with the exception of pointing the git ref of the latest patch release to the major version tag.
-
-> NOTE: :warning:
->
-> *   Users referencing the legacy `v1.x.x` -> `v5.0.0` semantic versions, are required to switch over to `v10.x` -> `v15.x` respectively as new releases would no longer be deployed using the old versioning scheme.
-> *   A breaking change was introduced in `v1.1.4` and `v13.x` which has been fixed.
-
-## Migration guide
-
-With the switch from using grep's Extended regex to match files to the natively supported workflow glob pattern matching syntax introduced in [v13](https://github.com/tj-actions/changed-files/releases/tag/v13) you'll need to modify patterns used to match `files`.
