WebRTC Changelog Generator

webrtc-changelog automates the generation of a professional, categorized HTML report for WebRTC changes.

Workflow

1. Fetch Branch Information: Navigate to https://chromiumdash.appspot.com/branches and extract the current and previous branch numbers associated with the milestone from the webrtc column of the first two rows in the Branch details table. These will be used as <branch2> (current) and <branch1> (previous). Note the milestone number (e.g., 148).
2. Update Git Execute git fetch origin to retrieve the remote git branches.
3. Fetch Git Log: Execute git log branch-heads/<branch1>..branch-heads/<branch2> to retrieve the commit history.
4. Generate Summary: Analyze the retrieved git log and produce a high-level summary of the most significant changes. The summary MUST be formatted as an HTML unordered list (<ul><li>...</li></ul>) for best presentation in the report.
5. Generate HTML Report: Use the generate_changelog.py script to create the final report, injecting the generated HTML summary and the milestone:

   python3 tools_webrtc/generate_changelog.py <branch1> <branch2> <output_file> --summary_text "<summary_html>" --milestone M<milestone_number>
