Fix

The major/minor will be the minimum, but the patch will be the latest. E.g. `julia = "1.10"` would lead to e.g. 1.10.10 (not 1.10.0).

+- `'min'` will install the earliest supported major/minor version of Julia compatible with the project. Especially useful in monorepos. Note: `min` chooses the lowest major/minor, but gives the latest patch. For example, for a Julia `[compat]` entry of `julia = "1.10"`, `min` would resolve to e.g. `1.10.10` (NOT `1.10.0`). If you specifically require e.g. 1.10.0, please specify that manually (instead of using `min`).
 
 Internally the action uses node's semver package to resolve version ranges. Its [documentation](https://github.com/npm/node-semver#advanced-range-syntax) contains more details on the version range syntax. You can test what version will be selected for a given input in this JavaScript [REPL](https://repl.it/@SaschaMann/setup-julia-version-logic).
