Changelog Writer

Convert a release's raw changes into a changelog that tells users what improved and why they should care.

When to use

• A release is about to ship and needs release notes.
• You are catching up an out-of-date changelog before an announcement.

Steps

1. Gather the merged changes since the last release.
2. Group them into Added, Improved, Fixed — drop internal-only churn.
3. Rewrite each line in user terms: the benefit, not the commit message.
4. Highlight the one or two changes users will care about most.
5. Add the version, date, and any upgrade or breaking-change note.

Output

A dated changelog entry grouped by Added / Improved / Fixed, written for users, with breaking changes called out clearly.
