No pre-release for this version possible

[c7h]

Hello

I am trying to implement pre-releases on my beta/v1 branch. I was following the README.md, but when I attempted to push to this branch, my pipeline failed with the error message "no pre-release for this version possible." I would appreciate guidance on how to resolve this issue.

Hi @c7h,

this is caused by the fact that go-semantic-release is trying to create a beta release for v1.29.1, which already exists without a pre-release indicator.
In your case, you will have to set the maintained version to 1.30.0-beta, and then it should work as expected.
