The changelog plugin cannot generate the release notes for the main branch.

Running mvn -P changelog-release validate on the main branch results in

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.logging.log4j:log4j-changelog-maven-plugin:0.3.0:release (changelog-release) on project log4j: Execution changelog-release of goal org.apache.logging.log4j:log4j-changelog-maven-plugin:0.3.0:release failed: provided version in `releaseVersion` does not match the expected `<major>.<minor>.<patch>[-SNAPSHOT]` pattern: `3.0.0-alpha1` -> [Help 1]

Can we perhaps provide a pattern? Or can it be modified to also accept "-alphaN" and "-betaN" as suffixes?

Good idea. Implemented in 2939acd.
