A changelog generator used by ansible-core and Ansible collections.

- Using the
  [`antsibull-changelog` CLI tool for collections](https://docs.ansible.com/projects/antsibull-changelog/changelogs/).
- Using the
  [`antsibull-changelog` CLI tool for other projects](https://docs.ansible.com/projects/antsibull-changelog/other-projects/).
- Documentation on the [`changelogs/config.yaml` configuration file for `antsibull-changelog`](https://docs.ansible.com/projects/antsibull-changelog/changelog-configuration/).
- Documentation on the
  [`changelog.yaml` format](https://docs.ansible.com/projects/antsibull-changelog/changelog.yaml-format/).

antsibull-changelog is covered by the [Ansible Code of Conduct](https://docs.ansible.com/projects/ansible/latest/community/code_of_conduct.html).

## Community

Need help or want to discuss the project? See our [Community guide](https://docs.ansible.com/projects/antsibull-changelog/community/) to learn how to join the conversation!

## Installation

It can be installed with pip:

pip install antsibull-changelog

For python projects, `antsibull-changelog release` can retrieve the current
version from `pyproject.toml`.
You can install the project with

pip install antsibull-changelog[toml]

to pull in the necessary toml parser for this feature.
The `toml` extra is always available, but it is noop on Python >= 3.11,
as `tomllib` is part of the standard library.

For more information, see the [documentation](https://docs.ansible.com/projects/antsibull-changelog/).

## Development

Install and run `nox` to run all tests. That's it for simple contributions!
`nox` will create virtual environments in `.nox` inside the checked out project
and install the requirements needed to run the tests there.

---

antsibull-changelog depends on the sister antsibull-docs-parser, antsibull-docutils, and antsibull-fileutils projects.
By default, `nox` will install a development version of these projects from Github.
If you're hacking on antsibull-docs-parser, antsibull-docutils, and/or antsibull-fileutils alongside antsibull-changelog,
nox will automatically install these projects from `../antsibull-docs-parser`, `../antsibull-docutils`, and `../antsibull-fileutils`
when running tests if those paths exist.
You can change this behavior through the `OTHER_ANTSIBULL_MODE` env var:

- `OTHER_ANTSIBULL_MODE=auto` — the default behavior described above
- `OTHER_ANTSIBULL_MODE=local` — install the projects from `../antsibull-docs-parser`,
  `../antsibull-docutils`, and `../antsibull-fileutils`.
  Fail if those paths don't exist.
- `OTHER_ANTSIBULL_MODE=git` — install the projects from the Github main branch
- `OTHER_ANTSIBULL_MODE=pypi` — install the latest versions from PyPI

---

To run specific tests:

1. `nox -e test` to only run unit tests;
2. `nox -e integration` to only run integration tests; this runs
   `antsibull-changelog lint` against antsibull-changelog and community.general
   (after cloning its repository) and records coverage data.
3. `nox -e coverage` to display combined coverage results after running `nox -e
   test integration`;
4. `nox -e lint` to run all linters and formatters at once;
5. `nox -e formatters` to run `isort` and `black`;
3. `nox -e codeqa` to run `flake8`, `pylint`, `reuse lint`, and `antsibull-changelog lint`;
7. `nox -e typing` to run `mypy`.

## Creating a new release:

1. Run `nox -e bump -- <version> <release_summary_message>`. This:
   * Bumps the package version in `src/antsibull_changelog/__init__.py`.
   * Creates `changelogs/fragments/<version>.yml` with a `release_summary` section.
   * Runs `antsibull-changelog release` and adds the changed files to git.
   * Commits with message `Release <version>.` and runs `git tag -a -m 'antsibull-changelog <version>' <version>`.
   * Runs `hatch build --clean`.
2. Run `git push` to the appropriate remotes.
3. Once CI passes on GitHub, run `nox -e publish`. This:
   * Runs `hatch publish`;
   * Bumps the version to `<version>.post0`;
   * Adds the changed file to git and run `git commit -m 'Post-release version bump.'`;
4. Run `git push --follow-tags` to the appropriate remotes and create a GitHub release.
