    <PATH>       Path to the changelog file (use '-' for standard input)
    [VERSION]    Specify version (by default, select the latest release)

OPTIONS:
    -t, --title                       Output title instead of a note
        --title-no-link               Similar to --title, but remove links from title

### Example: Get Rust's release notes

Get the release note for version 1.46.0 from [Rust's release notes](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/RELEASES.md):

```sh
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rust-lang/rust/master/RELEASES.md \
  | parse-changelog - 1.46.0
```

[*output of the above command.*](tests/fixtures/rust-1.46.0.md)

<!-- omit in toc -->
### Example: Get Cargo's changelog

In [Cargo's changelog](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md),
the title starts with "Cargo ", and the patch version is omitted if zero. This is a
format `parse-changelog` don't support by default, so use `--prefix` and
`--version-format` to specify a custom format. For example:

```sh
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rust-lang/cargo/master/CHANGELOG.md \
  | parse-changelog --prefix 'Cargo ' --version-format '^[0-9]+\.[0-9]+(\.[0-9])?$' - 1.50
```

[*output of the above command.*](tests/fixtures/cargo-1.50.md)

`--prefix` is the same as [`Parser::prefix_format`] and `--version-format` is
the same as [`Parser::version_format`]. See documentation of those methods for
more information.

### Example: Create a new GitHub release from changelog

With [GitHub CLI](https://cli.github.com/manual/gh_release_create):

```sh
tag=...
version=...

# Get notes for $version from CHANGELOG.md.
notes=$(parse-changelog CHANGELOG.md "$version")
# Create a new GitHub release with GitHub CLI.
gh release create "$tag" --title "$version" --notes "$notes"
```

#### On GitHub Actions

You can use [taiki-e/install-action](https://github.com/taiki-e/install-action) to install prebuilt binaries on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
This makes the installation faster and may avoid the impact of [problems caused by upstream changes](https://github.com/tokio-rs/bytes/issues/506).

```yaml
- uses: taiki-e/install-action@parse-changelog

## Usage (Library)

<!-- tidy:sync-markdown-to-rustdoc:start:src/lib.rs -->

To use this crate as a library, add this to your `Cargo.toml`:

```toml
[dependencies]
parse-changelog = { version = "0.6", default-features = false }
```

> [!NOTE]
> We recommend disabling default features because they enable CLI-related
> dependencies which the library part does not use.

### Examples

```rust
let changelog = "\
## 0.1.2 - 2020-03-01

- Bug fixes.

## 0.1.1 - 2020-02-01

- Added `Foo`.
- Added `Bar`.

## 0.1.0 - 2020-01-01

Initial release
";

// Parse changelog.
let changelog = parse_changelog::parse(changelog).unwrap();

// Get the latest release.
assert_eq!(changelog[0].version, "0.1.2");
assert_eq!(changelog[0].title, "0.1.2 - 2020-03-01");
assert_eq!(changelog[0].notes, "- Bug fixes.");

// Get the specified release.
assert_eq!(changelog["0.1.0"].title, "0.1.0 - 2020-01-01");
assert_eq!(changelog["0.1.0"].notes, "Initial release");
assert_eq!(changelog["0.1.1"].title, "0.1.1 - 2020-02-01");
assert_eq!(
    changelog["0.1.1"].notes,
    "- Added `Foo`.\n\
     - Added `Bar`."
);
```

### Optional features

- **`serde`** — Implements [`serde::Serialize`]https://docs.rs/serde/latest/serde/trait.Serialize.html trait for parse-changelog types.

## Supported Format

By default, this crate is intended to support markdown-based changelogs
that have the title of each release starts with the version format based on
[Semantic Versioning][semver]. (e.g., [Keep a Changelog][keepachangelog]'s
changelog format.)

<!-- omit in toc -->
### Headings

The heading for each release must be Atx-style (1-6 `#`) or
Setext-style (`=` or `-` in a line under text), and the heading levels
must match with other releases.

Atx-style headings:

```markdown
# 0.1.0
```

```markdown
## 0.1.0
```

Setext-style headings:

```markdown
0.1.0
=====
```

```markdown
0.1.0
-----
```

<!-- omit in toc -->
### Titles

The title of each release must start with a text or a link text (text with
`[` and `]`) that starts with a valid [version format](#versions) or
[prefix format](#prefixes). For example:

```markdown
# [0.2.0]

description...

# 0.1.0

description...
```

<!-- omit in toc -->
#### Prefixes

You can include characters before the version as prefix.

```text
## Version 0.1.0
   ^^^^^^^^
```

By default only "v", "Version ", "Release ", and "" (no prefix) are
allowed as prefixes.

To customize the prefix format, use the [`Parser::prefix_format`] method (library) or `--prefix-format` option (CLI).

<!-- omit in toc -->
#### Versions

```text
## v0.1.0 -- 2020-01-01
    ^^^^^
```

The default version format is based on [Semantic Versioning][semver].

This is parsed by using the following regular expression:

```text
^(0|[1-9][0-9]*)\.(0|[1-9][0-9]*)\.(0|[1-9][0-9]*)(-[0-9A-Za-z\.-]+)?(\+[0-9A-Za-z\.-]+)?$|^Unreleased$
```

> [!NOTE]
> To get the 'Unreleased' section in the CLI, you need to explicitly specify 'Unreleased' as the version.

To customize the version format, use the [`Parser::version_format`] method (library) or `--version-format` option (CLI).

<!-- omit in toc -->
#### Suffixes

You can freely include characters after the version.

```text
# 0.1.0 - 2020-01-01
       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
```
