+### Release Notes Automation
+
+This project uses an automated release notes generation system that:

+- **Automatically categorizes commits** by type (features, bug fixes, breaking changes, etc.)
+- **Generates structured release notes** when new versions are published
+- **Provides templates** for consistent release documentation
+- **Integrates with the CI/CD pipeline** for seamless releases

+- Filling out PR templates with appropriate categorization
+- Including clear descriptions of user-facing changes
