Revision history [back]

Here CHANGELOG.rst files are generated in each package. I modify these files to replace the lines that have Forthcoming with the appropriate version number (and date if I wish).

catkin_tag_changelog does that for you and now catkin_prepare_release does that for you automatically.

The workflow should be:

$ catkin_generate_changelog
<edit changelog entries, do not touch forthcoming heading>
<commit changes to changelogs>
$ catkin_prepare_release
