release notes to markdown

Generate markdown for your changelogs from release-note blocks

It expects release-note block rows to follow the Conventional Commits format.

Then, it extracts the type and creates different sections in the resulting markdown for different type.

For example new: ... and BREAKING CHANGE: ... release-note rows populate the "Major Changes" section of the markdown.

Usage

rn2md -r falcosecurity/falco -m 0.21.0
