Hi Github has a feature to attach a release note to tag/release. The content is then used when dependabot generates his famous PR all over the world!! (yup a maven plugin generates a lot!!) Our current content is not very user friendly....
While preparing the maven-compiler-plugin new release I have made some tests using release-drafter tool [1]. This generates the content here: https://github.com/apache/maven-compiler-plugin/releases The release notes will automatically contains only content from PRs (PR must have a label to appear in a dedicated section otherwise they will be in the top, see mapping label/section here [2]) This mapping is a default which can be shared between all project so the configuration is very simple see [3]. Please note the first time it's used the first release will contain everything (all PRs) from the start as there is no first release. The process is manual at the end, after all of our release process steps, you just need to go to GH ui then publish the release (manual. modifications still possible). comments? thoughts? complaints :)? cheers Olivier PS: if you want to use this be sure to modify manually the content before the publish as the content is regenerated for every merge PR [1] https://github.com/release-drafter/release-drafter [2] https://github.com/apache/maven-gh-actions-shared/blob/main/.github/release-drafter.yml [3] https://github.com/apache/maven-compiler-plugin/blob/master/.github/release-drafter.yml and https://github.com/apache/maven-compiler-plugin/blob/master/.github/workflows/release-drafter.yml
