Release notes

v1.0.1 - Initial Release

  • Flexible File Detection — Glob patterns for matching spec files with include/exclude support
  • Rich Issue Content — Includes file diffs, commit links, PR links, and author information
  • Customizable Templates — Use Handlebars templates to customize issue titles and bodies
  • Configurable Metadata — Set labels, assignees, and milestones on created issues
  • Dry-Run Mode — Test your configuration without creating actual issues

Security

  • Diff Sanitization — Optional HTML/Markdown escaping to prevent injection (enabled by default)
