 # Changelog
+
 All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
 
 The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/),
 and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
 
 ## [Unreleased]
+
 ### Fixed
+
 - Improved error handling when opening browser fails due to System Events permissions or non-standard browser configurations ([#178](https://github.com/MetaMask/create-release-branch/pull/178))
   - Now provides clear manual URL instructions instead of failing with osascript errors
   - Handles both cases: when terminal lacks System Events permissions and when using alternative browsers like Brave
 
 ## [4.1.1]
+
 ### Fixed
+
 - Ask users to include peer dependents of a major-bumped package in the release, even they've had no changes ([#173](https://github.com/MetaMask/create-release-branch/pull/173))
 - UI: Include all peer dependents of a major-bumped package as available packages to release, even if they've had no changes ([#173](https://github.com/MetaMask/create-release-branch/pull/173))
 
 ## [4.1.0]
+
 ### Added
+
 - Add interactive web UI for selecting package versions to release ([#166](https://github.com/MetaMask/create-release-branch/pull/166))
   - Added `--interactive` (`-i`) flag to launch a web-based UI for easier version selection
   - Added `--port` option to configure the web server port (default: 3000)
 
 ### Changed
+
 - Refine breaking change dependent detection to only consider peer dependencies ([#170](https://github.com/MetaMask/create-release-branch/pull/170))
   - This change supports our policy of requiring packages with breaking changes to be released alongside their dependents
   - Regular dependencies are no longer included in this check
 - Allow `npm:name@version` dependency redirections in manifest ([#158](https://github.com/MetaMask/create-release-branch/pull/158))
 
 ## [4.0.0]
+
 ### Changed
+
 - **BREAKING:** Bump minimum Node.js version to `^18.18` ([#156](https://github.com/MetaMask/create-release-branch/pull/156))
 - **BREAKING:** Bump `@metamask/auto-changelog` to `^4.0.0` ([#156](https://github.com/MetaMask/create-release-branch/pull/156))
   - This requires `prettier@>=3.0.0`.
 
 ## [3.1.0]
+
 ### Changed
+
 - Allow `npm:name@version` dependency redirections in manifest ([#158](https://github.com/MetaMask/create-release-branch/pull/158)) ([#159](https://github.com/MetaMask/create-release-branch/pull/159))
 
 ## [3.0.1]
+
 ### Changed
+
 - Bump `@metamask/utils` to `^9.0.0` ([#150](https://github.com/MetaMask/create-release-branch/pull/150))
 
 ### Fixed
+
 - Correct Yarn constraint violations and update Yarn lockfile at the end of the release process ([#145](https://github.com/MetaMask/create-release-branch/pull/145))
   - This was previously a required step after running `create-release-branch`.
 
 ### Security
+
 - Enable MetaMask security code scanner ([#133](https://github.com/MetaMask/create-release-branch/pull/133))
 
 ## [3.0.0]
+
 ### Changed
+
 - **BREAKING:** Format changelogs using Prettier ([#100](https://github.com/MetaMask/create-release-branch/pull/100))
   - This is a breaking change since it changes the default formatting of the changelog in new release PRs. If you have a package script that runs `auto-changelog validate`, or you're calling `auto-changelog validate` in CI, you'll now need to pass the `--prettier` flag (see [example](https://github.com/MetaMask/metamask-module-template/pull/219)).
 
 ### Fixed
+
 - Restore support for monorepos that use `workspace:^` references for interdependencies ([#125](https://github.com/MetaMask/create-release-branch/pull/125))
 
 ## [2.0.1]
+
 ### Fixed
+
 - Move `@metamask/auto-changelog` from `devDependencies` to `dependencies` and pin to ~3.3.0 ([#122](https://github.com/MetaMask/create-release-branch/pull/122))
 
 ## [2.0.0]
+
 ### Changed
+
 - **BREAKING** Bump minimum Node version to 16 ([#114](https://github.com/MetaMask/create-release-branch/pull/114))
 - Reorder workflow to update changelogs first ([#109](https://github.com/MetaMask/create-release-branch/pull/109))
   - When you run this tool you can use the changelogs to decide which versions to include in your release.

   - If a new major version of a package A is being included in the release, and there are is a package B which depends on A but which is not also being released at the same time, then the tool will produce an error.

 ### Added

 - Add support for nested workspaces ([#84](https://github.com/MetaMask/create-release-branch/pull/84))
 
 ### Changed
+
 - Add `.yml` extension to `RELEASE_SPEC` file ([#83](https://github.com/MetaMask/create-release-branch/pull/83))
 
 ## [1.0.1]
+
 ### Fixed
+
 - Update changelogs correctly for monorepo packages ([#50](https://github.com/MetaMask/create-release-branch/pull/50))
   - The changelog update step was encountering an error when used for a monorepo package release that had already been released at least once. Related to this, the changelog was being updated with the wrong tag links. Both problems should now be resolved.
 
 ## [1.0.0]
+
 ### Added
+
 - Initial release
   - In this first release, this tool only supports monorepos with an independent versioning scheme. We will add support for other kinds of projects in future releases.
   - You can learn more on how to use this tool by reading the [documentation](docs/).

 This is an interactive command-line tool that automates steps involved in preparing a new release of a project. These steps include updating versions of one or more desired packages, adding a new section to the packages' changelogs to include changes since the previous release, and then creating a new branch from which a pull request can be submitted for review before the release goes live.

    - **Consolidation.** A changelog entry represents a complete unit of work, and some work may be split across multiple commits. In this case, you can combine multiple entries together, listing multiple PRs instead of just one.
    - **Omission.** Some changes do not affect end users of the project (e.g. lockfile changes, development environment changes, etc.). In these cases, you may remove these entries entirely.
