Context:

We have automated the release process in xero-OpenAPI using semantic-release package. In brief this package analyses all the commits in the repo to determine the next version number, generate the release notes and publish the package, hence the commit message is important for the release to happen successfully. Please read more on the conventional commit documentation before landing your commits, each commit message will determine the release notes !

Example:

If your commit message is - feat: Added a new parameter in the get_account method - It will do a minor version update.

Following release notes will be generated -

If your commit message is - fix: fixed the null issue with get_invoice method - It will do a patch version update.
