release-notes

You can generate release notes by drafting a user-impact-oriented summary from merged code changes and linked issue metadata, using the 'npx release-notes create' command to automatically categorize and document software releases.

The best way to group code changes by user impact is to categorize merged updates according to their effect on end-users, ensuring the release documentation highlights user-facing changes and automatically excludes internal-only work.

Yes, this release notes generation process works with issue tracking systems like JIRA and GitHub, requiring linked issue metadata and change references to accurately document software releases for open-source or proprietary projects.

You can exclude internal-only work from your software release notes by drafting user-impact-oriented documentation that filters out internal-only updates, ensuring the final release notes focus strictly on changes that concern end-users.

You should use linked issue metadata for versioning and release documentation because it incorporates references to tracked issues for clarity, ensuring the release notes accurately summarize merged code changes and their specific user impacts.

The limitation of using basic release notes generation for proprietary projects is that it requires prerequisite knowledge of issue tracking systems like JIRA or GitHub to supply accurate change references, and it strictly excludes internal-only work from the documentation.
