Admin: adopting auto-changelog

[stackoverfloweth]

I added auto-changelog as a dev-depenedency and an npm script so that any developer could generate the changelog without having to know to install auto-changelog manually to their machine. If we merge as presented, we would no longer maintain and append to an existing changelog. Running npm run changelog generates the entire changelog.md file in the "new format" of Tag (2021-12-14) followed by a list of all PRs merged between tags. Each tag and each pr includes links to github for additional context. This approach still requires that we get into the habit of proper naming for PR titles (hotfix, feature, etc).

Take a look how this PR changes changelog.md. It's rewritting historical changelog entries to fit the new format, and since those old PRs were not created with expectation of the title being used in the changelog they are not always extremely descriptive. I do not personally believe that this is a reason to maintain, and only append to the changelog, as most users are probably only looking at what changed in more recent history.

We can still benefit from some of the changes in this PR even if we decide against re-writting the existing portion of our changelog. I wanted to use this PR as a place to discuss, as it has the changes attached.

Here is how the changelog is rendered:

I'm onboard with adding auto-changelog as a dependency. I also like the simplicity of being able to run npm run changelog to create the changelog for a release without needing to append or delete entries. This could be a useful pattern for other repos too. Is it something we could potentially automate also?

[zhen0]

While looking for something else, I just realized github has an option to automatically create release notes. This would simplify our release process even more than auto-changelog and is configurable. I'd welcome thoughts on this as an option.

[stackoverfloweth]

@zhen0 I looked into github generated release notes, it looks like a great option! (example below)

The only caveat I see is that we would no longer have a physical file in our repository, release notes would only be available on github. I personally think this is fine but we should validate that nobody objects to deleting of changelog.md from our repository.

Good question @stackoverfloweth - I've shared this question in slack to see if we can gain consensus. For this repo I'm not convinced about the benefit of completely replacing the changelog since the entries in there took time and effort to represent the work that had been done. Cutting a changelog also gives me a chance to check the QA checklist has been completed.

[zhen0]

So my vote would be to add the npm script but not completely overwrite the existing changelog.

[zhen0]

Happy to approve this if we remove the changelog override.

Further thought and discussion on this - let's do it!

[zhen0]

@stackoverfloweth - I'm happy to give this a trial. We can always revert if we find we want that more detailed log. The more thought through changelog descriptions will be maintained in the release notes and the changelog.md file contains PR links that let us see what was released when. Your change here also makes it easier to run auto-changelog to see what is still unreleased.

I think you'll need to fix the merge conflict on changelog.md though.
