What is Releases?
=================

Releases is a `Sphinx `_ extension designed to help you
keep a source control friendly, merge friendly changelog file & turn it into
useful, human readable HTML output. It's compatible with Python 3.6+, and may
work on Sphinx versions as far back as 1.8.x, though 4.x and up are
recommended and generally all we will support.

Specifically:

* The source format (kept in your Sphinx tree as ``changelog.rst``) is a
stream-like timeline that plays well with source control & only requires one
entry per change (even for changes that exist in multiple release lines).
* The output (when you have the extension installed and run your Sphinx build
command) is a traditional looking changelog page with a section for every
release; multi-release issues are copied automatically into each release.
* By default, feature and support issues are only displayed under feature
releases, and bugs are only displayed under bugfix releases. This can be
overridden on a per-issue basis.

Some background on why this tool was created can be found in `this blog post
`_.
