FAQPage Schema
How do I create a Tempo changelog entry for a PR using chloggen?▼

To create a Tempo changelog entry, use the .chloggen workflow to generate a structured YAML file instead of editing CHANGELOG.md directly. This enforces field guidance and validation to ensure consistent release notes for unreleased changes.

Why should I use YAML files for Tempo release notes instead of editing CHANGELOG.md?▼

Editing CHANGELOG.md directly is error-prone for unreleased changes. Using YAML entries via the .chloggen workflow standardizes the process, validates fields, and stages changes to ensure consistency across Tempo releases.

Can I preview chloggen YAML entries before finalizing a Tempo release?▼

Yes, the .chloggen workflow allows you to validate, preview, and stage YAML changelog entries. This ensures the generated release notes are consistent and correct before the changes are officially released.

Does the Tempo PR workflow require chloggen for all unreleased changes?▼

Yes, PRs with unreleased changes must document them using .chloggen YAML entries. This replaces direct CHANGELOG.md edits and enforces structured field guidance for consistent release notes.

What happens if I directly edit CHANGELOG.md instead of using chloggen YAML?▼

Directly editing CHANGELOG.md bypasses the .chloggen workflow's validation and field guidance. You must use YAML entries to ensure your unreleased changes are properly staged and validated for Tempo release notes.
