To use this crate as a library, add this to your Cargo.toml:
toml
[dependencies]
parse-changelog = { version = "0.4", default-features = false }
Note: When using this crate as a library, we recommend disabling the default features because the default features enable CLI-related dependencies and the library part of this crate does not use them.
Compiler support: requires rustc 1.51+

Simple changelog parser, written in Rust.
Parses changelog and returns a release note for the specified version.
Use -h for short descriptions and --help for more details.
USAGE:
parse-changelog [OPTIONS]
ARGS:
OPTIONS:
-h, --help Print help information
-V, --version Print version information
-t, --title Returns title instead of notes
--json Returns JSON representation of all releases in changelog
--version-format
Get the release note for version 1.46.0 from Rust's release notes:
sh
curl -sSf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rust-lang/rust/master/RELEASES.md \
| parse-changelog - 1.46.0
In Cargo's changelog,
the title starts with "Cargo ", and the patch version is omitted. This is a
format parse-changelog don't support by default, so use --prefix and
--version-format to specify a custom format. For example:
sh
curl -sSf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rust-lang/cargo/master/CHANGELOG.md \
| parse-changelog --prefix 'Cargo ' --version-format '^\d+\.\d+$' - 1.50
--prefix is the same as [Parser::prefix_format] and --version-format is
the same as [Parser::version_format]. See documentation of those methods for
more information.
With GitHub CLI:
```sh tag=... version=...
notes=$(parse-changelog CHANGELOG.md "$version")
gh release create "$tag" --title "$version" --notes "$notes" ```
See also [create-gh-release-action].
```rust let changelog = "\
Foo.Bar.Initial release ";
// Parse changelog. let changelog = parse_changelog::parse(changelog).unwrap();
// Get the latest release. asserteq!(changelog[0].version, "0.1.2"); asserteq!(changelog[0].title, "0.1.2 - 2020-03-01"); assert_eq!(changelog[0].notes, "- Bug fixes.");
// Get the specified release.
asserteq!(changelog["0.1.0"].title, "0.1.0 - 2020-01-01");
asserteq!(changelog["0.1.0"].notes, "Initial release");
asserteq!(changelog["0.1.1"].title, "0.1.1 - 2020-02-01");
asserteq!(
changelog["0.1.1"].notes,
"- Added Foo.\n\
- Added Bar."
);
```

parse-changelog as a library.
By default, this crate is intended to support markdown-based changelogs that have the title of each release starts with the version format based on Semantic Versioning. (e.g., Keep a Changelog's changelog format.)
The heading for each release must be Atx-style (1-6 #) or
Setext-style (= or - in a line under text), and the heading levels
must match with other releases.
Atx-style headings:
```markdown
```
```markdown
```
Setext-style headings:
```markdown
```
```markdown
```
The title of each release must start with a text or a link text (text with
[ and ]) that starts with a valid version format or
prefix format. For example:
```markdown
description...
description... ```
You can include characters before the version as prefix.
```text
^^^^^^^^ ```
By default only "v", "Version ", "Release ", and "" (no prefix) are allowed as prefixes.
To customize the prefix format, use the [Parser::prefix_format] method (library) or --prefix-format option (CLI).
```text
^^^^^
```
The default version format is based on Semantic Versioning.
This is parsed by using the following regular expression:
text
^\d+\.\d+\.\d+(-[\w\.-]+)?(\+[\w\.-]+)?$
To customize the version format, use the [Parser::version_format] method (library) or --version-format option (CLI).
You can freely include characters after the version.
```text
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
