version heading should use h2 level

I believe it was fixed by https://github.com/conventional-changelog/conventional-changelog/pull/237. Are you on the latest version?

Found duplicate with #208

[jcornaz]

It is obviously not solved. (or the poblem came back)

Look at versions 8.0.1 and 8.0.2 in standard-version's changelog: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/conventional-changelog/standard-version/91cd83c35145b733cd2407f106ebe43b5ce3edc5/CHANGELOG.md

@stevemao Can you reopen the issue?

I just test this package I found really great, but I think the header problem is still present. See https://github.com/tonai/react-deploy/commit/9057ee81875c4972d26da658c75c3828156ab99e I have ### 0.1.1 (2020-10-13) but it should be ## 0.1.1 (2020-10-13)

Ok I miss the fact that for the first release you should run npm run release -- --first-release. It looks better: https://github.com/tonai/react-deploy/commit/797d7240ec3c5df3b6897fa7f0e9c7a0b7513748

[tonai]

It still looks a little odd for patch releases: https://github.com/tonai/react-deploy/commit/b44911e45ca9861df4cc191aa116e5381e8c8de0

It is ok for minor release: https://github.com/tonai/react-deploy/commit/2cdadf4acff8940bc648e6570fe8be32fdbafa79

Is it something that is wanted ?

For the example below, the Bug Fixes heading should be a subheading of the release 0.1.2, but now they are at the same level. This also caused bots like renovatebot failed to parse the changelog.

### 0.1.2

### Bug Fixes

* some fixes.

Hi ! I have the same problem !

Is it fixed ? Thanks !

[NateScarlet]

changes that fix this problem is not included in [email protected]

for now, i use a postchangelog script:

sed -r -e 's/^#{1,3} \[/## [/' -i CHANGELOG.md

[ghost]

Any updates about that ? thanks !

[amokmen]

sed -r -e 's/^#{1,3} \[/## [/' -i CHANGELOG.md

Spent 2 hours fighting backslash "\" problem!

It's not working if directly included in .versionrc.js as

module.exports = {
  scripts: {
    postchangelog: "sed -r -e 's/^#{1,3} \[/## [/' -i CHANGELOG.md",
  },
};

Because there are 2 problems arise:

1. Prettier automatically SILENTLY REMOVES backslash symbol from string!
2. NodeJS 14.16.0 REPL and standard-version incorrectly works with backslash in string too (removing single backslash or using double backslash if you trying to escape - "\\").

I put this shell-command line into external shell-script file - this exterminated both problems:

#!/bin/bash
# Workaround for buggy behavior
# Change '### [' to '## ['
DIR="./"
sed -r -e 's/^#{1,3} \[/## [/' -i $DIR/CHANGELOG.md

So, now it looks like:

module.exports = {
  scripts: {
    postchangelog: "./tools/for_standard-version.sh",
  },
};

@amokmen

use bash ./tools/for_standard-version.sh if you want be windows compatible (git-bash almost always installed, otherwise it may not run due to some encoding issue).

[amokmen]

@NateScarlet I am personally using WSL (Ubuntu) at Windows desktop, so for me all working without adding prefix "bash ".

P. S. As for me - trying "native" Windows-based development is a bad idea in general. There are a lot of problems even in Linux-based development, so multiplying problems with Windows is not helping at all :)

[josteph]

I'm not sure why does conventional changelog template need isPatch treatment here. If somebody could explain the reasoning behind this, then this answers other issues regarding heading level as well.

[zavoloklom]

Small addition to @amokmen advise.

There is a problem with that script and MacOS sed: -i may not be used with stdin. So if you want to use script both in Linux and Mac you should do:

"scripts": {
    "postchangelog": "if [[ \"$OSTYPE\" == \"darwin\"* ]]; then SEDOPTION=\"\\'\\'\"; fi && sed -i $SEDOPTION -re 's/^#{1,3} \\[/## [/' ./CHANGELOG.md"
  }

[ciltocruz]

What about this?
