As a developer, I often find it challenging to get a quick overview of changes made in a particular version/release directly from the GitHub repository. Currently, the release tab in GitHub provides a list of releases, but it lacks a comprehensive changelog or summary of changes for each version. This makes it difficult to quickly understand what has been added, modified, or fixed in a specific release.
User Story
As a developer, I want to have a clear and concise changelog or overview of changes directly accessible from the GitHub release tab. This will help me and my team to:
Quickly grasp the key changes introduced in each release.
Understand the impact of the changes on our codebase.
Make informed decisions on whether to upgrade to a newer version based on specific features or fixes.
Current Limitations
The release tab does not currently contain information for all versions, making it challenging to access historical changes.
Benefits
Improved Communication: Developers will have a clearer understanding of what changes are included in a release, facilitating better communication within the team.
Time Efficiency: Developers can save time by quickly scanning the changelog to identify relevant updates without having to go through commit histories.
Decision-Making: Having a comprehensive overview will aid in making informed decisions about whether to upgrade to a newer version based on specific features or bug fixes.
Automated Release Process
Consider utilizing the "release-please" tool to automate the release process. Release Please streamlines the creation of releases by automatically generating changelog entries based on semantic versioning and commit messages.
