The issue we have is (specifically configuration) changelogs are incremental. Therefore, if someone jumps 3 minor versions in one update and we only include the latest changelog, they may miss important information that warrants action on their end.

But look at the size of these release notes, it's getting ridiculous https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation-server/releases/tag/tgstation-server-v4.6.0

@alexkar598 suggested only including 3 minor versions. A step in the right direction, but still doesn't fully solve the issue

We need to generate a full changelog.yml that contains note for versions as far back as we can get them and is posted as an artifact in every release. #1557

We need categories for each release type (TGS, HTTP API, DMAPI, EACH Nuget, Package, Web CP, Host Watchdog)

We need to auto-fill some type specific fields i.e. debian/changelog Nuget PackageReleaseNotes

It should be pointed at by `debian/
