Changelog generation should be automated, and have predictable URLs that can be used on the website.

Not sure if this will be part of the build process or whether we just get release notes from upstream projects (more likely)

@karianna Same question as #474 (comment)

And same answer (well not quite). For this metadata we don't have any key or hook in place yet.

get release notes from upstream projects

Is there an api or alternative source you know of that we could utilise to retrieve these release notes? Otherwise, I'm looking at the more "hacky" alternative of checking out the source repo to the last release tag and doing a git diff between that tag and the new one

I haven't dug in fully yet, but if you look at our release notes page I reference a JBS query for each version. That might do the trick (with a bit of finessing afterward). I've also asked the Red Hat folks on how they do it for the release notes they put on the mailing list for 8u and 11u

release notes page

Do you have a link for that?
