CHANGELOG.md is outdated

[splattael]

👋 I've noticed that the https://github.com/kwilczynski/ruby-magic/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md wasn't updated since v0.2.0.

Is there a way of automating the creation of this file?

Alternatively, it could be useful to create a PR template for releasing a new version where updating the CHANGELOG.md could be one of many bullet points to be checked off? 🤔

@kwilczynski What do you think about using https://github.com/github-changelog-generator/github-changelog-generator?

Hello @splattael,

We don't have anything automated at the moment which is not the best user experience, indeed. Sincere apologies!

Hi @stanhu,

@kwilczynski What do you think about using https://github.com/github-changelog-generator/github-changelog-generator?

Looks good! I like there is a Rake task too.

The changelog format I keep updated manually in the past was that of Keep a Changelog too, so this project you suggested would hopefully just work for us.

Having said that, I need to manually update the changelog between 0.2.0 and 0.3.0 releases - as I have most of the context of what happened there and why. I hope this is OK.

Since we are on the subject of changelog, and thus releases, then I would to at some point focus on getting our Ruby Gems properly signed and so on, to ensure security and integrity of our releases.
