Instruction

Read through the commits, and most of the diffs, but only keep the desktop-related thing to the changelog.
All changelogs should "worth reading" for app users. No internal changes or infra updates.

Scripts

This will give you all changelogs that we have now.

find packages/changelog/content -type f | while read f; do
  echo "============================================================"
  echo "FILE: $f"
  echo "------------------------------------------------------------"
  cat "$f"
  echo
done

This will give you what versions we actually have.

gh api repos/:owner/:repo/git/refs/tags --jq '.[] | select(.ref | startswith("refs/tags/desktop_v1")).ref' | sed 's#refs/tags/##' |
while read tag; do
  if gh api repos/:owner/:repo/git/tags/$tag --jq '.tagger.date' >/tmp/tagdate 2>/dev/null; then
    date=$(cat /tmp/tagdate)
  else
    sha=$(git rev-parse $tag)
    date=$(gh api repos/:owner/:repo/commits/$sha --jq '.commit.author.date')
  fi
  echo "$tag  $date"
done

To actually see what's changed between two versions, you can use this.

gh api repos/fastrepl/char/compare/<>...<>  --jq '.commits'
