Previously, the release workflow generated a changelog from the commit history and added it to the release notes. The generated changelog serves no value. If a user wants to see a list of commits, a higher quality list can be obtained by looking at the commit history. Furthermore, a generated changelog is actually very harmful in that it encourages the project maintainer to shirk their duty (which is specified in the formal release procedure) of writing a real changelog. Since the changelog generation provides no value, the generation code is hereby removed from the release workflow.
