202: Using Towncrier to Keep a Changelog - Hynek Schlawack
Hynek joins the show to discuss towncrier.
At the top of the towncrier documentation, it says "towncrier is a utility to produce useful, summarized news files (also known as changelogs) for your project."
Towncrier is used by "Twisted, pytest, pip, BuildBot, and attrs, among others."
This is the last of 3 episodes focused on keeping a CHANGELOG.
Episode 200 kicked off the series with keepachangelog.com and Olivier Lacan
In 201 we had Ned Batchelder discussing scriv.
