releaseNotes.js

// All non-merge commits
reg = /^(.+?)(\n|$)/; ' * ' + Array.prototype.slice.call(document.querySelectorAll('.commit-message a')).map(el => el.title).filter(title => title && title.indexOf('Merge') !== 0).map(title => { var mm = title.match(reg); return mm && mm[1]; }).join("\n * ");

// Only merge commits
reg = /^[^#]+(#[0-9]+)[^\n]+\n\n((?:.|\n)+)$/; Array.prototype.slice.call(document.querySelectorAll('.commit-message a')).map(el => el.title).filter(title => title.indexOf('Merge') === 0).map(title => { var mm = title.match(reg); return mm && mm[2] + ' (' + mm[1] + ')'; }).join("\n * ");

Paste one of these into the console when comparing releases (follow the "34 commits to master since this release" link).

Steps to use this script

1. Navigate to the Releases Tab and then click on the link for number of commits from the last release.

This will compare the latest release with the commits that have been created since release. We can then use this script to grab the commit messages. See below

2. Paste script here and run. This will output the release notes.

3. Copy Release notes and add to Release PR
