Situation
Managing the Release Changelog contains guidelines in the form of linked examples for formatting versions. These have not been consistently followed.
The example for dependency updates is cited as https://docs.cypress.io/app/references/changelog#7-2-0
Some semver style versions (
X.Y.Z
) in the Changelog are written in plain text, although they are mostly enclosed in Markdown code backticks.Regressions are inconsistently handled and do not always follow the guidelines in Managing the Release Changelog. Harmonize formatting for existing regression links:
Change
Change all listed semver style version numbers in the Changelog to enclose them in Markdown code backticks, except in headers.
Apply this also to version ranges as used by npm/node-semver.
Add missing links when referring to regressions and harmonize existing links.
