Changelog Entry Creator

Create changelog entries in .changelogs/ following Unity Timeline's release notes guidelines.

Process

1. Ask for issue number (use AskUserQuestion):

   • Options: "I have a UUM/JIRA number" | "I have an issue ID" | "No issue number"

2. Ask for change type (use AskUserQuestion):

   • Added: New features, new APIs
   • Changed: Changed behavior, API changes, obsolete APIs
   • Fixed: Bugfixes
   • Internal: Changes only impacting internal tools/APIs

3. Ask for description: For bugfixes, write from user's perspective (not too technical - release notes are for users first). Don't copy bug titles verbatim.

4. Generate filename: [UUM-####|####]-<ShortDescription>.md

   • ShortDescription: 2-4 words, CamelCase, descriptive
   • Good: UUM-1234567-RectangleSelectionFix.md, Bad: TimelineFix.md

5. Create file in .changelogs/<filename>.md:

   <ChangeType>
   
   - <Description> ([<JIRA_ID>](LINK))
   

   • Fixed: Use Issue Tracker link: https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/product/unity/issues/guid/<JIRA_ID>
   • Internal: Use JIRA link: https://jira.unity3d.com/browse/<JIRA_ID>
   • Multiple entries per file allowed (don't reuse across branches)

6. Confirm with user where file was created and remind to commit with changes.
