 # @changesets/action
 
+## 2.0.0-next.4
+
+### Major Changes
+
+- [#695](https://github.com/changesets/action/pull/695) [`469993c`](https://github.com/changesets/action/commit/469993ce5783c6a38e72541d4ba0d25588702b9a) Thanks [@bluwy](https://github.com/bluwy)! - Removed `.npmrc` handling when the `NPM_TOKEN` environment variable is set.
+
+  Authentication should be handled via Trusted Publishing instead. If a token is still needed, use `actions/setup-node` to set it up instead via the `registry-url` option. Check out the updated action README for more information of setting up npm authentication in GitHub Actions.
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- [#699](https://github.com/changesets/action/pull/699) [`5b307d3`](https://github.com/changesets/action/commit/5b307d3df25daf51c41dff70d2f66df1579ae9fa) Thanks [@Andarist](https://github.com/Andarist)! - Validate that projects use Changesets CLI v3 and direct Changesets CLI v2 users to `changesets/action@v1`.
+
+- [#697](https://github.com/changesets/action/pull/697) [`84d78c6`](https://github.com/changesets/action/commit/84d78c68f98f20e24dfff22b22193e7b4f326ad9) Thanks [@Andarist](https://github.com/Andarist)! - Allow custom publish scripts to complete without a Changesets output file, warning that GitHub releases and git tags cannot be created when that file is missing.
