Will np start depending on GitHub’s autogen’d Release notes?

Even though it’s in public beta, the messages autogenerated by the release feature looks to be VERY good and a suitable replacement for np’s manual release note generation.

I think we should investigate potentially replacing np’s release note construction w/ this over time in order to keep the core simple.

I also like them, it would help np shed all the code to generate the release notes.

The only drawback is that GitHub’s notes ignore raw commits and only include PRs.

This would also fix every notes-related issue, like:

• Can't open github release page when release note is too long #501

I don't like the GitHub autogenerated release notes at all. They asked for feedback publicly, got a lot, including from me, and they didn't improve the feature at all.

So I'm happy to add an option to not generate release notes for the people that prefer that, but I think np's notes are better in every way, so I have no plans to remove that part.

I have no plans to remove that part.

Then no reason to integrate it here, 👍 also because I think it would require authentication with GitHub.

When I want to use their generator, I just select np’s notes and replace them with a click on GitHub.com
