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?

dist::zilla::app::command::smoke

Dist::Zilla::App::Command::smoke(3pm)			User Contributed Perl Documentation		     Dist::Zilla::App::Command::smoke(3pm)

NAME

       Dist::Zilla::App::Command::smoke - smoke your dist

VERSION

       version 4.300020

SYNOPSIS

	 dzil smoke [ --release ] [ --author ] [ --no-automated ]

DESCRIPTION

       This command builds and tests the distribution in "smoke testing mode."

       This command is a thin wrapper around the test method in Dist::Zilla.  It builds your dist and runs the tests with the AUTOMATED_TESTING
       environment variable turned on, so it's like doing this:

	 export AUTOMATED_TESTING=1
	 dzil build --no-tgz
	 cd $BUILD_DIRECTORY
	 perl Makefile.PL
	 make
	 make test

       A build that fails tests will be left behind for analysis, and dzil will exit a non-zero value.	If the tests are successful, the build
       directory will be removed and dzil will exit with status 0.

OPTIONS

   --release
       This will run the test suite with RELEASE_TESTING=1

   --no-automated
       This will run the test suite without setting AUTOMATED_TESTING

   --author
       This will run the test suite with AUTHOR_TESTING=1
