title: "patchnotes: parse, query, and validate software changelogs as structured data"
abstract: >-
  patchnotes parses Keep a Changelog markdown and YAML changelogs into typed
  Python objects, making the release history of a software project queryable,
  diffable, and machine-validatable. It recovers from off-specification input
  rather than failing, reports problems as stable diagnostic codes with line
  numbers, and renders changelogs to HTML, RSS, JSON, SARIF, and plain text.
  A command-line interface, a GitHub Action, pre-commit hooks, and an mkdocs
  plugin allow changelog quality to be enforced in continuous integration.
