+
+### Ci
+
+* ci(stalebot): add permission to delete its own cache ([`34260fb`](https://github.com/python-semantic-release/python-semantic-release/commit/34260fb13fc595af9f780ce5082d16cd5ca165ef))
+
+* ci(stalebot): bump api operations from 200 -> 400 allowed
+
+since our repo has around 100 issues, each validation takes a minimum of 2
+operations, leaving actual stale actions with very little ability to change
+things. Bumping this up will allow stalebot to action tickets on time in
+relation to our repository size. ([`f280a71`](https://github.com/python-semantic-release/python-semantic-release/commit/f280a711dae97948134f539ae62e0731cea48dff))
+

+
+* test(conftest): refactor netrc generation into common fixture

+
+* fix(gitea): allow insecure http connections if configured
+
+* test(hvcs-gitea): fix tests for clarity & insecure urls

+* fix(version-cmd): handle HTTP exceptions more gracefully
+
+* style(hvcs): resolve typing issues & mimetype executions
+
+* test(cli-config): adapt default token test for env resolution
+
+* test(changelog-cmd): isolate env & correct the expected api url
+
+* test(fixtures): adapt repo builder for new hvcs init() signature
+
+* style: update syntax for 3.8 compatiblity & formatting
+
+* docs(configuration): update `remote` settings section with missing values
+
+  Resolves: #868
+
+* style(docs): improve configuration & api readability ([`db13438`](https://github.com/python-semantic-release/python-semantic-release/commit/db1343890f7e0644bc8457f995f2bd62087513d3))
+
+* fix(hvcs): prevent double url schemes urls in changelog (#676)
+
+* fix(hvcs): prevent double protocol scheme urls in changelogs
+
+  Due to a typo and conditional stripping of the url scheme the
+  hvcs_domain and hvcs_api_domain values would contain protocol schemes
+  when a user specified one but the defaults would not. It would cause
+  the api_url and remote_url to end up as "https://https://domain.com"
+
+* fix(bitbucket): correct url parsing & prevent double url schemes
+
+* fix(gitea): correct url parsing & prevent double url schemes
+
+* fix(github): correct url parsing & prevent double url schemes
+
+* fix(gitlab): correct url parsing & prevent double url schemes
+
+* test(hvcs): ensure api domains are derived correctly
