Description

Description

python-semantic-release version 9.10.0 added a lot of new features to make changelog updates simpler. This should allow simplifying the actions/workflows in this repository to no longer need to copy over the previous changelog file contents.

Additional Information

See the information on the https://python-semantic-release.readthedocs.io/en/stable/concepts/changelog_templates.html page about customizing the changelog and the available variables/filters for the template.

This change would probably necessitate a v2 release, since it would break backwards compatibility in the find_unreleased_changelog_items action.

Research direction

Start with the repository's actions and reusable workflows, then read actions/find_unreleased_changelog_items/readme.md alongside the python-semantic-release changelog template documentation. Identify where previous changelog contents are copied and how the available template variables can replace that logic. Done means the workflows are simplified and the compatibility impact, including a possible v2 release, is addressed.
