Changelog generator

Are there any changelog generators that people here like? I’ve tried a couple in the past, but I haven’t been happy with them.

I haven’t used them myself, but seen them used elsewhere (github’s changelog generator at least) and I did not like the result. If I wanted the history of PR merges I could just look at those.

I think in the end, if you’d like a clear, useful, and concise changelog you need to write it yourself. What I found to be most useful it to update a CHANGELOG.md document with every pull request. This makes it easier and spreads the burden out over time, rather than trying to draft a changelog at a release.
