This new script automates editing the autogenerated changelog from
scripts/github-changelog.cr
intoCHANGELOG.md
.We have automated the changelog editing process that it requires almost no human work. The changelog entries are entirely generated from the pull request data from the GitHub milestone.
This tool re-generates the changelog for any version with a single command.
This could even allow us to move the entire changelog process into a CI action which runs at a regular interval (daily?) and updates the changelog branch. This means during a release period the changelog already grows with unreleased changes.
Depends on #14229
