This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on news.ycombinator.com

Our great sponsors
  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • ESLint

    Find and fix problems in your JavaScript code.

  • I'm reading release notes to get a feel for how the new release might impact me. This takes so much time to scan, because there's so much useless cruft (to me, as a user) I have to ignore.

  • github-changes-maven-plugin

    Maven changes plugin for GitHub hosted repositories. Apache 2 licensed.

  • This is fairly close to what we generate for our change log, closed issues and closed and merged pull requests keyed by release milestone. Release notes are separate though, and written by hand.

    Maven plugin, if you're interested

    I can't seem to find the documentation about integrating this with Actions

    But I am excited to finally be able to stop maintaining my custom auto-release-changelogs action https://github.com/Trinovantes/action-automatic-release

  • okd

    The self-managing, auto-upgrading, Kubernetes distribution for everyone

  • Thank you, that is useful, but basically same as "jumping" between branches.

    @pronik's reply was spot on, viewing the merge commit, which shows which branches and tags the commit is included in. Example: https://github.com/openshift/okd/commit/e278fba2d8a5aea6b7bd...
