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?

NAME

       nfprint - Print the contents of a notesfile

SYNOPSIS

       nfprint [ -p ] [ -l# ] [ -d or -nd ] [ -c ] [ -t ] topic [ note-list ]

DESCRIPTION

       Nfprint	gives  the  user  the ability to print the contents of notesfiles.  Nfprint writes to standard output.	The text is formatted with
       pr(1).  When the -c option is used, the output is filtered through cat(1) instead.

       The -l# parameter specifies the page length to use (66 lines/page is the default).  By specifying -p, the printout is arranged so each base
       note starts on a new page.  The -d and -nd options specify only notes with the director flag on or off respectively are to be printed.  Use
       -t to generate a list of titles only; the text of notes and responses is suppressed.

       The note list is the set of notes which are to be printed.  An example note list is: 1,30-36,13,10,42-50.

FILES

       /bin/pr				  Output filter
       /etc/passwd			  for the users name
       /etc/group			  for the users group(s)
       /usr/spool/notes 		  the default notesfile data base
