The draft
Drafted from what actually shipped.
When a change merges, Tore reads the pull request and the request behind it, then drafts the entry in plain words your customers understand. It describes what they can now do, not what the code changed.
- Drafted from the change that shipped, not written from scratch
- Knows the request and the people behind it
- Drafts appear for you to approve, not to write
