Question: Making it clear to goreleaser whether there are breaking changes

[jamietanna]

Related to / duplicate of go-semantic-release/semantic-release#171

How would it be possible to detect something within the release notes / a breaking change introduced? It appears that the {{ .ReleaseNotes }} variable for goreleaser has no value when using this hook.

May be bale to do something like:

diff --git pkg/hooks/goreleaser.go pkg/hooks/goreleaser.go

This may not work if it's a v0 project, though 🤔
