Automated creation of release notes
Does anyone have experience in an automated creation of release notes? We already have automated nightly builds and regression tests of C++ and Python software, but we do not yet create our releases automatically.
If releases are either bug fix releases or feature releases (containing both bug fixes and enhancements), then the former would be the easiest to do: create a list of all the issues resolved between the previous release date and the current date.
For feature releases it is a little more complicated, because we do not have a well structured repository of feature requests yet.
So are there any suggested best practices that will help us create release notes automatically for in particular feature releases?

nfpipe

NFPIPE(1)						      General Commands Manual							 NFPIPE(1)

NAME

       nfpipe - Insert articles into a notesfile

SYNOPSIS

       nfpipe topic [ -t title ] [ -d ] [ -a ]

DESCRIPTION

       Nfpipe  reads  standard input to create a note in the specified notesfile.  The title of the note is specified using the -t parameter.  The
       -d flag specifies that this note is to have the director message flag set; if the author has no director privileges in the notesfile,  this
       flag has no effect.  Specifying -a makes the note anonymous; if anonymous notes are not permitted this flag has no effect.

FILES

       /etc/passwd			  for the users name
       /etc/group			  for the users group
       /usr/spool/notes 		  the default notesfile data base
       /usr/spool/notes/.utilities	  utility programs and online help the permission list for the notesfile `topic'
