- Simplified CLAUDE.md to avoid redundancy with other docs
- Created .claude/changelog-instructions.md with detailed changelog maintenance guide
- Updated GitHub Action to reference the new changelog instructions doc
- Added instructions for updating changeNotes in build.gradle.kts
- Added notes about excluding API module changes (experimental status)
- Added step to check previous changelog PRs for special instructions
This workflow runs daily at 5 AM UTC (or manually) and uses Claude to:
- Review commits and update CHANGES.md with meaningful changes
- Maintain the exact format used before the changelog gap
- Include YouTrack links for fixes (format: [VIM-XXXX](url))
- Reference merged PRs (excluding dependabot and Claude PRs)
- Handle the historical gap between versions 2.9.0 and 2.28.0
- Create PRs only when there are actual changes to document
Claude has access to git, GitHub CLI, and can fetch from YouTrack,
GitHub, and JetBrains plugin pages to gather accurate information.
This workflow runs three times a year (August 15, April 30, December 1)
and uses Claude to check if new IntelliJ versions need to be added to
TeamCity test configurations. Claude will automatically create a PR if
a new version is needed.
The workflow can also be triggered manually for testing.
With gradle plugin 2.0 this cache fails on GitHub Actions. This solution is temporlly and generally the `integrationsTest` should be migrated from `doLast` to some other task approach
We have quite a fucntionality to maintain the changelof in actual state
However, since we switched to release from the latest EAP, we can't just update the changelog on master because it will contains also unreleased changes since the latest EAP.
The proper support for such change will require a lot of coding that will take a lot of time to implement and will eventually break.
So, it was decided to keep the changelog on YouTrack only and not to maintain the changes file.
This change still may be reverted, so the code around the changelog is note removed, but only commented out
