Where to find a changelog?

[meznaric]

I haven't upgraded haul on my project for quite some time, now all my @haul-bundler/* packages are all outdated. How should I approach upgrading?

I noticed one of the patches was merged that I need but I have no idea if it was released.

It's not the first time I encountered this. Simply having changelog would make this much easier.

I agree, there's much to be done in terms of maintenance, changelog etc. For now, the best source of truth is to look a commit history: https://github.com/callstack/haul/commits/master There are chore: publish commits which contain published packages and their versions, so when you find a patch/commit you're interested, check if it has chore: publish commit above it.

Thanks for swift response! I see how it works now, basically versions don't necessarily need to match, they are released/upgraded as needed. Commits in between will tell me what the change was.

I see you put a "good first issue" tag to it, what do you imagine as part of this? I can see 2 things being done:

• Just documentation improved that explain what you explained to me in more detail
• Automated changelog generation. If I was to build shell/node script that would generate/update CHANGELOG.md based on the commits, would you integrate it with CI? - I haven no experience with circle.

The process of generating changelog can be automated by Learn, which we use for managing monorepo, so it boils down to add proper options to lerna commands to generate it since the commit messages follow Conventional Commits: https://github.com/lerna/lerna/tree/master/commands/version#--conventional-commits The cherry on top would be also a automatic Github Releases creation, but that's more complex so can be left for later.
