patch-notes

Player-facing patch notes are generated by parsing git history, sprint data, and internal changelogs, then aggregating and formatting these technical changes into accessible text for players. This process translates developer commits into reader-friendly release notes.

Converting technical git commits into community release notes is best handled by aggregating versioned changes from production/releases and docs/CHANGELOG.md, then applying tone generation to adapt the text for player comprehension across brief, detailed, or full styles.

Patch notes can be formatted into brief, detailed, or full styles to suit different communication needs. The generation process adapts the tone and structure of the aggregated git history and sprint data to match the selected style for the target version.

A specific changelog format is not strictly required, as the generation process aggregates data from multiple sources including docs/CHANGELOG.md, git logs, and sprint retros. Providing the target version and optional style allows the parser to collect necessary changes.

Generating patch notes works directly with versioned releases by parsing git logs and production/release data. It collects changes specific to each version tag to ensure the player-facing notes accurately reflect the updates included in that particular release.

Automated release notes might not match the player tone if the style parameter is not specified during generation. Applying brief, detailed, or full style settings ensures the tone generation adapts the technical changelog data for player comprehension.
