Generate release notes for this ConnectLife Home Assistant integration release.

Steps

1. Determine the version to release:

   • If $ARGUMENTS is provided, use that as the version
   • Otherwise, read the version from custom_components/connectlife/manifest.json

2. Find the previous release tag:

   git describe --tags --abbrev=0 HEAD
   

   If HEAD is already tagged, use git describe --tags --abbrev=0 HEAD^ to find the previous tag.

3. Get all commits since that tag:

   git log <previous_tag>..HEAD --pretty=format:"%H %s" --reverse
   

4. For each commit, inspect the commit message. Extract:

   • PR number (from (#123) in the message)
   • Author (from git log --format="%an" -1 <hash> and git log --format="%ae" -1 <hash>)
   • For PR commits, get the GitHub username: gh pr view <number> --json author --jq '.author.login'

5. Categorize each commit into sections based on its content:

   • New devices — commits that add new device mappings (new YAML files in data_dictionaries/)
   • Improvements to existing devices — commits that update existing device mappings
   • Bug fixes — commits with "fix" in the message
   • Breaking changes — commits that change existing entity behavior, rename entities, change defaults, or remove properties
   • General improvements — code changes, new features, dependency updates
   • Translation improvements — translation additions or fixes
   • Documentation improvements — README, docs changes
   • Skip commits that are just version bumps

6. For device mapping commits, identify which device types and feature codes were added/changed by looking at the files modified:

   git diff-tree --no-commit-id --name-only -r <hash>
   

7. Come up with a cool release name.

8. Format the release notes following this template. Do NOT include a v prefix on the version in the title line.

<version> <release name>

Rules

• Omit any section that has no entries
• Use #123 format for PR references (short form, not full URLs)
• Use @username format for GitHub contributors
• The repo owner @oyvindwe should not be listed in the Contributors section
• For device mappings, include the device type code and feature code in backticks (e.g., 025-1wj100404v0w)
• If a model name is known (from the PR title or commit message), include it in parentheses
• Quote property names and field names in backticks (e.g., DelayEndTime, state_class)
• Keep descriptions concise — one line per item
• The Highlights section should give a quick overview: count of new devices, key fixes, notable features
• Always read the PR body (via gh pr view <num> --json body --jq '.body')
• When a PR body calls out a breaking change is experimental, note that in the entry (e.g., "breaking changes ...")
• When a PR body calls out that a change is experimental, speculative, or untested for certain models/devices, note that in the entry (e.g., "experimental for ...")
• Present the final release notes as a single markdown code block so it can be easily copied
