Changelog

Since we follow Conventional Commits, we’re able to automatically create formal releases based on the commit messages. The releases are also published to crate.io for package distribution and Zenodo for easier discovery, archival, and citation purposes. We use Cocogitto to be able to automatically create these releases, which uses SemVar as the version numbering scheme, and Git Cliff to generate the changelog based on the commit messages.

Because releases are created based on commit messages, a new release is created quite often—sometimes several times in a day. This also means that any individual release will not have many changes within it. Below is a list of the releases we’ve made so far, along with what was changed within each release.

Commits from bots, like dependabot or pre-commit-ci, are not included in the changelog.
