Release Notes

/release-notes — Changelog Generator

Generate a formatted changelog from conventional commits since the last release tag.

When to Use

• Before cutting a new release
• "What changed since the last release?"
• "Generate release notes"

Workflow

1. Find the latest tag:

``bash git tag --sort=-v:refname | head -1 ``

1. Collect commits since that tag:

``bash git log ..HEAD --oneline --no-merges ``

1. Parse and group by Conventional Commits prefix:

• Features (feat): new functionality
• Fixes (fix): bug fixes
• Refactoring (refactor): code restructuring
• Docs (docs): documentation changes
• Chores (chore): maintenance, deps, tooling
• Other: anything that doesn't match a prefix

1. Format as markdown changelog:

## What's Changed since 

### Features
- :  ()

### Fixes
- :  ()

### Refactoring
-  ()

...

1. Include stats: total commit count, contributor list (from git shortlog).

Constraints

• ONLY include commits between the latest tag and HEAD
• SKIP merge commits (--no-merges)
• PRESERVE scope from commit messages (e.g., fix(ui): → listed under Fixes with ui scope)
• DO NOT fabricate or embellish commit descriptions — use the actual message
• If there are zero commits since the last tag, report that explicitly
