Description
The tool we're currently using to generate the CHANGELOG file, standard-version, has added the following note to their readme:
standard-versionis deprecated. If you're a GitHub user, I recommend release-please as an alternative. I encourage folks to fork this repository and, if a fork gets popular, I will link to it in this README.
Sooner or later, we should probably migrate to use the more supported tool.
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start by reviewing the repository's current standard-version setup and the CHANGELOG file, then compare the required release-please configuration and workflow. Done means changelog generation no longer depends on standard-version and release-please produces the expected CHANGELOG updates.
