So far, we have been using the
compare_base
output from theparse_version.sh
script to determine the range of commits to be included in the changelog. This not works well,because the pre-release also splits the commits into multiple groups. For example, if the last stable release is
v0.1.0
, and last beta release isv0.1.1-beta.1
, then the changelog from head will include all commits fromv0.1.0
to head, but they will be split into two groups:v0.1.0..v0.1.1-beta.1
andv0.1.1-beta.1..HEAD
. This is not what we want.So instead of using
compare_base
, we use thetag_pattern
to filter out pre-releases. This will ensure that the changelog compares to the last stable release, and they are grouped into a single group.
