Description

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to ask this question but it seems like the tagFormat value from .releaserc is not followed when generating the actual changelog.

For example, my tagFormat is tagFormat: "1.5.6-${version}"

However, the changelog creates headings like ## [1.0.0-develop.2](https://my.gitlab.repo.com/ctek/docker/packer/compare/1.5.6-1.0.0-develop.1...1.5.6-1.0.0-develop.2) (2020-05-04)

Note that the compare links are correct but the heading is not.

Research direction

No source file or test is named. Start by tracing changelog generation from the .releaserc tagFormat setting, compare the heading value with the correctly formatted compare links, and reproduce the example using the shown 1.5.6-${version} format. Done means generated markdown headings use the configured tag format consistently with their links.
