Breaking Changes

NewError::InconsistentVersions fields are now Box<Version>

The first_version and second_version fields of NewError::InconsistentVersions (re-exported as PackageNewError) changed from Version to Box<Version> to reduce the variant's size and satisfy the clippy::result_large_err lint introduced in Rust 1.94.0.

knope 0.22.2 (2026-02-03)

Features

Add [changes] config section with ignore_conventional_commits setting

Adds a new top-level [changes] configuration section to control how Knope processes changes. The first setting in this section is ignore_conventional_commits, which when set to true, makes Knope ignore conventional commits and only use changesets for determining version bumps and changelog entries.

This replaces the deprecated step-level ignore_conventional_commits option on the PrepareRelease step. Use knope --upgrade to automatically migrate from the old format to the new one.

Example configuration:

[changes]
ignore_conventional_commits = true

[package]
versioned_files = ["Cargo.toml"]
changelog = "CHANGELOG.md"

See the changes config documentation for more details.

Fixes

• add help text to release and document-change workflows
