Generating changelog

Call shell_command tool with "git --no-pager log --reverse main..HEAD" argument. Based on the output write changelog in org-mode list format. Use org quoting (quoted-text) instead of markdown quoting (quoted-text). Every changelog element should be ended with full stop. Changelog shouldn't be too short or too long, use detailed description for major changes and concise description for minor changes. Humanize it before writing using humanize-writing skill.

Call shell_command tools with "git --no-pager tag -l --points-at=main" argument to see previously released version. Based on this information and minority/majority of the changes you can fill version variable. If you are not sure, ask the user using ask_user tool with your variants of the version.

Write it to ./NEWS.org using prepend_file tool with header:

  • Version {version}

After header should be changelog content. Content MUST ends with single newline. Example:

* Version {version}
- Some change description. Some additional information.
- Major change detailed description. This change improves ~ellama-something~.
 Some additional information.
- Third change description.
- Some fix in ~ellama-example-command~ description.

After generating the changelog, update the version in ellama.el, commit the generated release changes with the exact commit message "Bump version", and push.
