Describe the bug

When we set the action tag to v2 the runner doesn't use the latest version: v2.2.1 tag.
We know it's not latest version because bug that is already fixed (#144) occurs.
If we set the action tag to v2.2.1, the runner uses the latest version as expected; the fixed bug won't occur.

It's very confusing which version is used when @v2 tag is specified.
Doesn't setting v2 tag mean "Use the latest 2.x.x version"?

Which version of the action are you using?

  • v1
  • v2
  • Some other tag (such as v2.0.1 or master)
    • v2.2.1 - Because v2 doesn't use the latest release version

Environment

  • self-hosted
  • Linux
  • Windows
  • Mac

If applicable, please specify if you're using a container

Python Versions

Python 3.6 - 3.8

To Reproduce

Set v2 tag when using setup-python.

    - uses: actions/setup-python@v2

When we run the workflow, it won't use the latest version: v2.2.1 tag.

Run/Repo Url

    Currently it points to the latest release. After every new release there is sometimes a 1-2 day delay before we update the major tag to v1 or v2. Lets us test a little bit more
