It would be great if the generator doesn't replace the entire file but just adds missing versions and ignores existing ones. We have some manual added information which we don't want to lose when generating the changelog.

Features:

  • Ability to keep manual added information for older version tags
  • Reduced GitHub API calls due to reduce amount of data necessary to retrieve
  • Stop/continue a changelog generation process due to partial updates

Implementation:
The CHANGELOG.md needs to be parsed and divided into sections which represent the versions, e.g.

[{ :version => 'v0.0.1', :content => '...' }, { :version => 'v1.0.0', :content => '...' }, ...]

Missing versions can be fetched from the GitHub API and appended.

This might be related to #172.

@estahn thanks for feature request! It would be a great addition 💥 , but it has a lot of work to implement this.

It can be splitted for a several little sub-tasks:

  1. First part: Generate change log between 2 specific tags #172 is already implemented. I will release it soon.
  2. The similar feature to help with partial updates: fetch since/due specific date Generate change log since/due specific date #210
  3. The next step is a parsing of existing Change log file. Parsing of existing Change Log file #212
  4. Another thing will be implement partial update of the CHANGELOG.md. i.e. fetch only specific issues (between specific tags, or between time) and not modify others. Fetch missing versions and amend them to existing change log #211
  5. And finally: Ability to keep manual added information for older version tags Ability to keep manual added changelog information #213
