Changelog is missing tags with almost-semver syntax
See original GitHub issueI am using v1.11.0.
I am generating the changelog for a project:
➜ auto-changelog
auto-changelog: 81 kB written to CHANGELOG.md
The changelog shows the following releases:
➜ grep "####" CHANGELOG.md | cut -d " " -f2 | cut -d "(" -f1 | head
[v0.52.1]
[v0.50.7]
[v0.50.6]
[v0.50.5]
[v0.50.4]
[v0.50.3]
[v0.50.2]
[v0.50.1]
[v0.49.8]
[v0.49.6]
However, some tags are completely missing:
➜ git tag --sort=v:refname | tail -r -n 10
v0.52.1
v0.52
v0.51
v0.50.7
v0.50.6
v0.50.5
v0.50.4
v0.50.3
v0.50.2
v0.50.1
I am completely missing v0.51 and v0.52. The tag exists, obviously:
➜ git show v0.51 | head
tag v0.51
Tagger: …

Tagging version 0.51

Any idea why these would be ignored by auto-changelog
?

Apologies – just me not paying close enough attention.
You don’t necessarily need to rewrite history. You could always add the correct semver tags at the same commits, then treat the incorrect tags as legacy/deprecated, and leave them for a certain amount of time before removing them?
I’m tempted to support this anyway as it seems to make sense. Given
v0.50.7
andv0.51
you would expect it to be smart enough to know what came first.You’re right. That’d be a good alternative.
Thanks for considering supporting this additional format.
That could be a possibility. Certainly I would’ve considered naming my tags differently had my changelog generation tool informed me (I was just using a rather simple script). Users should not be warned though if they use custom tag pattern.
