v1.9.1

🩹 [Patch]: Refactor release notes handling to improve clarity and structure (#81)

Description

This pull request refactors the logic for constructing release notes in scripts/main.ps1 to improve clarity and maintainability. The changes separate the handling of PR title and body into distinct blocks and ensure that notes are only added when they are non-empty.

Improvements to release notes construction:

• Refactored the logic to initialize $notes as an empty string and append the PR title and body conditionally, instead of combining them in a single step. This improves readability and modularity.
• Added a check to ensure that $notes is non-empty before appending it to the $releaseCreateCommand, preventing unnecessary arguments when no notes are provided.
• Enhanced debugging output by including the constructed gh arguments for better traceability during execution.

v1.9.0

🚀[Feature]: Add option to use PR title heading in release notes (#80)

Summary

This update introduces a new configuration option, UsePRTitleAsNotesHeading, which uses the pull request (PR) title to be used as a heading in the generated release notes. When enabled, the PR title will appear as a first-level heading (#) in the release notes, enhancing readability and organization.

✅ Changes

• Added UsePRTitleAsNotesHeading configuration option to control the inclusion of PR titles as headings in release notes.
• Updated the release note generation logic to conditionally include PR titles based on the new configuration setting.

🛠 Configuration

As this feature is enabled by default, disable it by setting the UsePRTitleAsNotesHeading option to false on the action.

v1.8.0

Description

• Adds UsePRBodyAsReleaseNotes and UsePRTitleAsReleaseName inputs. This allow you to configure the action to copy the PR body into the release notes and/or use the PR title as the release name.
  • Fixes #72
• Changes the default behavior of the action from using the built in release note generation using the .github/release.yml instructions to use the PR body for release notes (UsePRBodyAsReleaseNotes = true). The release title remains as before with using the semantic‑version tag. You can opt out of this new functionality by setting the input(s) to false.

📋 How to use the new options

steps:
  - uses: PSModule/Auto-Release@vNext
    with:
      UsePRBodyAsReleaseNotes: true   # default is true
      UsePRTitleAsReleaseName: false  # default is false

⏭️ Migration guide

Current adopters that relied on the previous default (generated changelog as release notes) should explicitly set UsePRBodyAsReleaseNotes: false to keep former behavior.
