Changelog and versioning

Turn technical git commits into user-facing changelog entries. This monorepo uses Changesets for versioning and builds the changelog from changeset entries.

When to use

Preparing release notes for a new version
Documenting changes for the website or docs pages
Keeping a consistent writing style across release notes

How it works

Scan git history for the relevant range.
Categorize commits (features, improvements, bug fixes, breaking changes) and filter noise (refactor, test, chore).
Translate developer commits into customer-facing language.
Format entries per the repo conventions.
