Convert issue comments to changelogs

To convert issue comments into changelog entries, you need to follow a structured format that outlines the changes, their impact, and the context. Here’s how you can go about converting issue comments to changelogs:

Step-by-Step Process:

1. Identify the Change Type:
   Categorize the issue (bug fix, feature enhancement, refactor, etc.).

2. Summarize the Key Information:
   Extract the most important information from the issue comment, such as the problem, the solution, and any relevant details (e.g., version numbers, associated commits).

3. Follow Changelog Conventions:
   Use a standard changelog format like Keep a Changelog or similar, which includes categories like:

   • Added

   • Changed

   • Deprecated

   • Removed

   • Fixed

   • Security

4. Write a Clear Entry:

   • Use a concise title for the change.

   • Provide a brief description that summarizes the issue and the solution.

   • Include any additional details like references to tickets, issue numbers, or links.

5. Include Version and Date:
   Mention the version of the software that the change is included in, along with the release date.

Example Conversion

Issue Comment:

• Issue Description: “The login page sometimes doesn’t load the user’s dashboard after authentication. This happens intermittently after the user enters their credentials and presses the ‘Login’ button.”

• Comment: “This issue was caused by a race condition in the authentication API. We’ve fixed the race condition by adding a proper check for the session before redirecting the user.”

Changelog Entry:

## [1.2.3] - 2025-05-18
### Fixed
- Resolved an intermittent issue where the dashboard failed to load after successful login. The issue was caused by a race condition in the authentication API, which has now been fixed with an additional session check before redirect.

More Complex Example:

Issue Comment:

• Issue Description: “The user registration process doesn’t validate email addresses correctly. It accepts invalid email formats, causing issues later when sending confirmation emails.”

• Comment: “Updated the registration form to properly validate email addresses using a more robust regex pattern to ensure only valid email formats are accepted.”

Changelog Entry:

pgsql
CopyEdit
## [1.3.0] - 2025-05-18
