From f1d6ae25d2ab525f95510c196d42c73604a89a32 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Frederic BIDON <fredbi@yahoo.com>

Subject: [PATCH] ci: fixed release notes

git-cliff does not seem to extract automatically the tag message
on CI (works on local, though...).

Added a step to extract the tag message and pass
it to git-cliff explicitly.
