ReleaseNotesCompiler

In order to improve the quality for our release notes we'll generate them based on the relevant github issues.

Conventions

• All closed issues for a milestone will be included
• All issues must have one of the following tags Bug, Feature, Internal refactoring, Improvement. Where Internal refactoring will be included in a milestone but excluded from the release notes.
• For now the text is taken from the name of the issue
• Milestones are named {major.minor.patch}
• Version is picked up from the build number (GFV) and that info is used to find the milestone
• We'll generate release notes as markdown for display on the website
• by default only the first 30 line of an issue description is included in the release noted. If you want to control exactly how many lines are included then use a -- to add a horizontal rule. Then only the contents above that horizontal rule will be included.

Plans

• The build server will compile the release notes either for each commit or daily
• Build will fail if release notes can't be generated
• No milestone found is considered a exception
• Want to be able to output in a manner compatible with http://www.semanticreleasenotes.org/
• We'll generate release notes as X for inclusion in our nugets
• For each milestone a corresponding GitHub release will be created with the same name and set to tag master with the same tag when published
