Full Changelog: actions/setup-python@v4...v4.6.1

Add allow-prereleases input

In scope of this release we added a new input (allow-prereleases) to allow falling back to pre-release versions of Python when a matching GA version of Python is not available

steps:
 - uses: actions/checkout@v3
 - uses: actions/setup-python@v4
 with:
 python-version: 3.12
 allow-prereleases: true

Besides, we added such changes as:

• Fix bug to trim new line for PyPy version: actions/setup-python#610
• Added pip dependency file to generate hash from it: actions/setup-python#604
• Improved error handling for saving and restoring cache: actions/setup-python#618
• Add warning if cache paths are empty: actions/setup-python#642

Fix cache issue for Poetry projects located in subfolders

In scope of this release we fixed cache issue for Poetry projects located in subfolders (actions/setup-python#446). Besides that we updated json5 version from 2.2.0 to 2.2.3 (actions/setup-python#579).

Add support to install multiple python versions

In scope of this release we added support to install multiple python versions. For this you can try to use this snippet:

 - uses: actions/setup-python@v4
 with:
 python-version: |
 3.8
 3.9
 3.10

Besides, we changed logic with throwing the error for GHES if cache is unavailable to warn (actions/setup-python#566).

Improve error handling and messages
