Details

The release notes are either extracted directly from the CHANGELOG.md file or derived from the latest git commit note, converted to HTML, and emailed to the specified recipients. It also interprets emojis found in the markdown content.

The default subject format if not specified is "Release v[version] for [package name]".

Prerequisites

• Ensure you have set up the required environment variables in your Bitbucket Pipeline for email configuration (e.g., USERNAME, PASSWORD, etc.).
• If you use commit notes, ensure they are formatted properly for extraction.
• If you use a changelog, it must be named CHANGELOG.md.
