Month: 2024-10 summary for gravitational/shared-workflows. Focused on delivering the Release Notes Generation Tool and consolidating tooling in shared-workflows. The Go-based tool parses CHANGELOG.md and generates release notes in a markdown template format, including version, description, and optional labels. The CLI uses kingpin for argument parsing, enabling scripted release notes generation as part of CI. This work reduces manual release documentation effort and standardizes release notes across projects.
