Action Summary

The Terraform Module Releaser GitHub Action simplifies the management of Terraform modules in a monorepo by automating versioning, releases, and documentation. It efficiently handles module-specific tagging, creates GitHub releases and changelogs based on commit messages, and generates detailed wikis for each module. This action eliminates manual tasks, ensures clean dependency management, and operates entirely within the GitHub ecosystem with zero external dependencies.

Release notes

2.0.0 (2026-02-17)

🚨 Breaking Changes

Conventional Commits Default Parser ⚠️: Semantic versioning now defaults to conventional commit parsing instead of keyword-based parsing. If you relied on the previous default, please review your configuration. This change improves release accuracy and clarity. @virgofx (#378) semver-mode

  Controls how semantic version bumps are determined from commit messages.

  Valid options: "conventional-commits" (default) or "keywords".

  "conventional-commits" (default): Parses commit messages using the Conventional Commits
  specification (https://www.conventionalcommits.org/). Version bumps are determined by commit
  type and breaking change indicators:
    - MAJOR: "BREAKING CHANGE" footer or "!" after type/scope (e.g., "feat!: drop Node 16")
    - MINOR: "feat" type (e.g., "feat: add new endpoint")
    - PATCH: "fix" type (e.g., "fix: resolve null pointer")
    - Any other valid conventional commit type defaults to PATCH
  The default-semver-level input is still respected as the fallback when a commit does not
  conform to the Conventional Commits format (i.e., has no recognized type prefix).

  "keywords": Uses major-keywords, minor-keywords, and patch-keywords for simple substring
  matching against commit messages. This is the legacy behavior from versions prior to v1.9.0.
  When using this mode, the keyword-based inputs control version bumps.
