Action Summary

ReleaseKit is an automated tool that automates the process of releasing npm packages, crates.io libraries, and Dart/Flutter packages. It uses Conventional Commits to generate changelogs and version numbers, and supports CI-native workflows with JSON output and OIDC publishing. The action provides three independent CLIs for versioning, generating notes, and publishing packages, making it flexible for different ecosystems and projects.

What’s Changed

New:

  • Added a release summary line and version-summary table to the standing PR body, showing channel splits, major-bump warnings, and held packages. (#524) (#524, #520)
  • Added per-package channel toggles (rk-pre / rk-grad) to the standing PR selection list, allowing selective prerelease or graduation without narrowing the release. (#525) (#525, #521)
  • Added configurable changelog.demoteScopes option to move dependency and version-bump entries to a separate section at the end of changelogs, keeping main content clean. (#523) (#523, #522)

Fixed:

  • Fixed the releasekit dispatcher to register gate, refresh-after-release, and backfill commands so they work from the public binary instead of only from releasekit-release. (#538) (#538, #519)
  • Fixed the standing PR’s open-age display to show days (e.g., 26d 36m) instead of just hours (e.g., 624h 36m). (#536) (#536, #535)
  • Security: Fixed unauthorized actors being able to edit channel toggles on the standing PR by reconciling them against the manifest, matching the behavior of ad-hoc deselection. (#534) (#534)

Changed:

  • Dependencies: Updated the Claude Code GitHub Action to the latest version. (#531) (#531)
  • Dependencies: Updated production dependencies including Anthropic SDK, OpenAI, LiquidJS, Figlet, Biome, and Vitest. (#533) (#533)
  • Dependencies: Updated development dependencies including ESLint, TypeScript ESLint parser, and Turbo. (#532) (#532)

Removed:

  • CI: Removed the unused Claude code-review workflow since Greptile already auto-reviews every PR. (#537) (#537)
