It looks for new tags, and when a tag is created it builds the docs using Sphinx, extracts the latest HTML changelog entry using BeautifulSoup, cleans it up a bit (I think the only thing that needs doing is turning relative links into absolute ones), runs it through pypandoc to create `gfm`, then uses the GitHub releases API to post the changelog as a release. https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/releases/#create-a-release","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",569275763, https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/680#issuecomment-590030258,https://api.github.com/repos/simonw/datasette/issues/680,590030258,MDEyOklzc3VlQ29tbWVudDU5MDAzMDI1OA==,9599,2020-02-23T05:51:04Z,2020-02-23T05:51:04Z,OWNER,Did a bunch of research in a Jupyter notebook and it looks like I can use `pypandoc` to achieve this conversion without too much trouble: https://gist.github.com/simonw/41d56712427e6a4178fc6495d664005f,"{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",569275763, https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/680#issuecomment-589914711,https://api.github.com/repos/simonw/datasette/issues/680,589914711,MDEyOklzc3VlQ29tbWVudDU4OTkxNDcxMQ==,9599,2020-02-22T03:51:47Z,2020-02-22T03:51:47Z,OWNER,"I considered just updating the GitHub release with a link to the release notes, but I'm building other things against the GitHub releases API such that it's nicer to have the release notes live there.
