Link to "What changed since the previous release?"

Example: https://github.com/parcel-bundler/parcel/releases

Can you tell what each release includes? GitHub links to the tagged commit but that’s rather useless

Wouldn’t it make sense to list the commits between each tag/release (in chronological order).

This is the link that should appear on v1.4.1: https://github.com/parcel-bundler/parcel/compare/v1.4.0...v1.4.1

Without any fetches we can show the link on

• lists but not each tag/release pages
• every tag in a list, except the last one

Ok, then only fetch that page: https://github.com/parcel-bundler/parcel/releases?after=parcel-bundler@1.12.3

• ignore the pagination in it, let’s not add prev/next for now
• if you want to add prefix-aware links (@parcel/integration-tests@***), only look in that page. If none are found, ignore the tag or just use the previous non-prefix-aware tag

If we really want to add a Next link we need to find a solution that does not require multiple consecutive fetches (whether it’s the pagination link or the brute force). But for now we can ignore it

One thing to keep in mind is, as seen on the parcel repo, they have multiple tags on the same commit, so “the previous tag” is not necessarily “the one below it”.

If not too complex (and if this is a standard many repos follow), there could be smart specific links like

• parcel-bundler@1.12.2...parcel-bundler@1.12.3 on parcel-bundler tags
• @parcel/integration-tests@1.12.2...@parcel/integration-tests@1.12.3 on @parcel/integration-tests tags

If too complex, it should at least make sure “the previous tag” doesn’t point to the same commit. e.g.

• parcel-bundler@1.12.3...@parcel/integration-tests@1.12.3 (both are on 09c1082)
