Latest Changes

A GitHub App that updates release notes when a pull request is merged into a repository's default branch.

It looks for the first existing file in this order:

1. release-notes.md
2. docs/release-notes.md
3. docs/en/docs/release-notes.md
4. CHANGELOG.md

If none of these files exists, the app creates release-notes.md.

An existing file must contain ## Latest Changes. That section may contain only the ### sections listed below, with each section appearing at most once.

The first matching pull request label determines the section:

Label	Section
breaking	Breaking Changes
security	Security Fixes
feature	Features
bug	Fixes
refactor	Refactors
upgrade	Upgrades
docs	Docs
lang-all	Translations
infra	Infrastructure
internal	Internal

If none of these labels match, the entry is added directly under ## Latest Changes.

Pull requests with the release label are skipped.

Install

It needs the following permissions:

Permission	Access
Contents	Read and write
Pull requests	Read
Metadata	Read (automatically included)

The app commits directly to the repository's default branch. If a ruleset prevents direct writes, add the GitHub App to its bypass list with Always allow.
