towncrier 22.8.0.rc1 (2022-08-28)

Features

• Make the check subcommand succeed for branches that change the news file

  This should enable the check subcommand to be used as a CI lint step and not fail when a pull request only modifies the configured news file (i.e. when the news file is being assembled for the next release). (#337 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/337>_)

• Added support to tables in toml settings, which provides a more intuitive way to configure custom types. (#369 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/369>_)

• The towncrier create command line now has a new -m TEXT argument that is used to define the content of the newly created fragment. (#374 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/374>_)

Bugfixes

• The extra newline between the title and rendered content when using --draft is no longer inserted. (#105 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/105>_)

• The detection of duplicate release notes was fixed and recording changes of same version is no longer triggered.

  Support for having the release notes for each version in a separate file is working again. This is a regression introduced in VERSION 19.9.0rc1. (#391 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/391>_)

Improved Documentation

• Improve CONTRIBUTING.rst and add PR template. (#342 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/342>_)
• Move docs too the main branch and document custom fragment types. (#367 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/367>_)
• The CLI help messages were updated to contain more information. (#384 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/384>_)

Deprecations and Removals

• Support for all Python versions older than 3.7 has been dropped. (#378 <https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/issues/378>_)
