Feature request: Can we get a changelog added to TAG releases

[xInsertx]

Feature description

Use case

Currently, use a container to monitor upstream for updates, and when one is pushed I am notified. I would then either review the release change log or the changelog attached to the tag.

It would be good to be able to review as a quick change overview vs looking back through commits.

Plan to implement

There are a few ways to implement this - leave it up to you to decide.

Not interested in filling it out manually. it must be fully automatic not changing existing workflow at all.

Any updates on this?

[glensc]

nobody as proposed any solution, so no.

You could start by using the inbuilt feature "Generate Release Notes" - https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/releasing-projects-on-github/automatically-generated-release-notes#about-automatically-generated-release-notes

Just needs a .github/release.yml file and ideally meaningful labels

So send a PR and describe there what maintainers need to do

You can get the same result by going to Releases/Tags
and comparing the two latest tagged releases.
If the labels are not clear (sometimes they are not :) ), you can read the code that was changed and/or the commits/Pull requests that where incorporated in that release.

Just to be clear: send PR if you want something to be changed.

Perhaps:

• Generate a release note on release simonsobs/apluggy#2

[glensc]

Or release drafter
