Draft release notes from the commits since the last tag, grouped by user-visible change, for the user to edit. Never publishes.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# release-notes

Read `git log <last-tag>..HEAD`. Group changes into Added, Changed, Fixed. Write
one line per change in terms a user would notice, not in terms of files. Leave
internal refactors out unless they change behaviour. Show the draft and stop.

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jerrydboonstra/neckbeard/release-notes@sha256:95cd3da950f9f908

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260924.84b3057, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
