Summary
Add an explicit
changelog-sectionsconfig torelease-please-config.jsonso generated release notes group commits into named sections.Visible sections: Features, Bug Fixes, Performance Improvements, Code Refactoring, Dependencies, Reverts, Miscellaneous Chores, Documentation.
Hidden types (
build,ci,test,style) are markedhidden: trueso they don't clutter the changelog.Motivation
With the default release-please changelog config, only
featandfixmap to visible sections; other conventional-commit types (includingrefactor) are hidden. As a result, #53 (refactor(js): unify env lifecycle refcounting) was merged but did not appear in the open release PR #51, whose changelog only shows theBug Fixesentry for #50.Adding
refactor→ "Code Refactoring" (and the other types above) as visible sections ensures such changes are reflected in future release notes.Test plan
