+# Creates a JSON formatted list of release notes. It follows the same format
+# as in the GitHub API.
+#
+# Changes are split into categories:
+# - `breaking_changes`, has the list of breaking changes
+# - `bug_fixes`,
+# - `new_features`,
+# - `other`
+#
+# USAGE: pass an initial and final reference to generate release notes
+# `release_notes.py v0.6.1 v0.7.0` will generate the release notes for versions between v0.6.1 and v0.7.0
+#
+# Motivation: While GitHub generates the release notes between releases, this tool can generate release notes between any two references.
