What this changes

  • scripts/release-notes.ts prints a release's change list as Markdown: the squash-merged PRs since the previous tag, grouped by Conventional Commit type (breaking changes, features, performance, fixes, dependencies, build and CI, docs, other), each linked, then a compare link. The version bump PR is left out.
  • AGENTS.md says how a release is cut and that its notes are a few sentences for users followed by that list, so every release reads the same.

Tests

node scripts/release-notes.ts v0.1.2 v0.1.3 lists #75 under Features, #76 under Performance and #74 under Documentation. The test selector picks no OpenJDK tests for this change.

Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Added guidance for preparing releases, publishing them, and including user-facing and generated release notes.
  • Chores
    • Added a way to generate release notes from commit history, grouped by change type, with links to related pull requests and comparisons.

The pull request adds a script that groups commit titles into Markdown release notes and documents a release procedure that uses those notes.

The script selects first-parent commit titles, skips matching release-bump titles, groups entries into Markdown sections, and adds PR and comparison links. The commands guide describes the release steps and release-note format.

  • Project516/java-web#99: Adds the release workflow that publishes GitHub releases to npm, as described by the documented release procedure.
  • Project516/java-web#18: Its release commit title provides an example of a title that does not match the script’s release-bump skip pattern.
Merge Risk: Low · previous review b9989

The new release-notes script can list changes in an untagged release that are not in the commit being released. This only affects release-note text, which is reviewed before publishing, so merging carries little risk.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names both main parts of the change: a release notes script and release steps in AGENTS.md. It is a single, concise sentence with the conventional commit prefix. The title is related to the changeset, so the check passes.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template structure. The 'What this changes' section explains the script and the AGENTS.md release steps, and it lists the behavior. The 'Tests' section names the command run, the expected outcomes, and the OpenJDK test status. The template's 'Noticed, not fixed' section is optional and may be deleted when empty, so its absence does not block the check. The description is mostly complete.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

No eligible functions found in the changed files. Skipping docstring coverage check. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 0 functions across 1 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

This PR adds a release notes script that generates markdown from git history grouped by conventional commit type, and documents the release process in AGENTS.md. The script works for its intended use case (releases with tags provided as arguments), but lacks error handling for git command failures and the default tag lookup.

- Line 42: Update the compare-link generation in the release-notes flow so it
emits a link when `next` is absent, using the resolved endpoint commit ID as the
endpoint. Preserve the existing `next` endpoint behavior when it is provided.
- Around line 14-15: Update the release-notes range endpoint used by `titles` so
an absent `next` tag resolves to the requested release commit rather than
falling back to `HEAD`; if that commit cannot be resolved from the requested
version, require its commit ID. Preserve the tagged-release behavior and ensure
notes exclude commits after the release commit.

The PR adds a release notes script that generates markdown from squash-merged PRs grouped by Conventional Commit type, and documents the release process in AGENTS.md. The script works as demonstrated for the release workflow (explicit tags passed). Three optional improvements from earlier review (error handling, no-tags fallback, compare link when next isn't a tag) remain unaddressed but are not new defects.

This PR adds a release notes script that generates Markdown from git history between tags, grouped by Conventional Commit type, and documents the release process in AGENTS.md. The script has a bug in the compare link: when the next version is not yet tagged, it uses the version string (e.g., v0.1.3) instead of the resolved commit SHA, producing a broken GitHub compare link. The version-bump commit filter also does not account for conventional commit scopes.

The PR adds a release notes script (scripts/release-notes.ts) that generates Markdown from squash-merged PRs since the previous tag, grouped by Conventional Commit type, and documents the release process in AGENTS.md. The script works for the documented workflow where the release tag exists or the version-bump commit is on first-parent history.
