Hello, thanks for your wonderful work and others'.

I want to enable org-hugo-auto-export-mode, however it isn't included with the v0.8(the latest version on MELPA stable).

Later I found that I can install from MELPA

Hello, the burden of writing the long changelog is preventing me from making another release.

Also, I recommend only using Melpa (not Melpa Stable) for ox-hugo.

I'll see if I can do this in the coming weeks.

Thanks!

Searching way to install ox-hugo from Melpa (not Melpa Stable)

kaushalmodi commented 2 years ago

I'll leave this open as a CHANGELOG doc issue. Yes, but please switch to Melpa for updating this package.

Thanks for your help, I installed ox-hugo successfully

tianheg commented 2 years ago

Now I can use org-hugo-auto-export-mode, I'm very happy 😄

My 2¢ on this: Not many people really want to use melpa (or package.el for that matter). I for example use guix as the emacs package manager (since I also use Guix System), and in guix repo (channel) emacs-ox-hugo is at version 0.8. I use my own channel and have been updating ox-hugo every couple of months, but guix tries to follow melpa stable for emacs-packages. A stable release would be great. I've skimmed the commit history a bit and perhaps it might be worth to skip the changelog for the minor fixes and only mention the breaking/huge changes. Writing the changelog at a later time might also be preferrable. I'll see if I can scrunch up some time next weekend to help if things aren't moving by then but I make no promises.

Thank you! btw I plan to go inactive for the next month or so as I will be on vacation and then on work catchup. If you have time, I'll appreciate a CHANGELOG PR.

Once we have a baseline CHANGELOG file, it will be easy to keep it updated with each new bugfix or feature addition.

I am also open to an automated CHANGELOG generation (from git commit messages) that updates the CHANGELOG.org file using a make target.

@tianheg I have tagged a new release v0.9.0.

@maddovr I went the route of auto-generating the CHANGELOG using https://github.com/orhun/git-cliff.

The changelog for v0.9.0 is at https://ox-hugo.scripter.co/doc/changelog/#0-dot-9-dot-0.
