We are planning on migrating from Jira+Gerrit to GitLab. One important feature that we are using in Jira is the auto generation of release notes.
Question: Is there any similar functionality in GitLab?
Release Tools is a project maintained by the Delivery team, and used by Release Managers to perform releases of GitLab and its components. Release Tools works by running CI pipelines for specific purposes, such as tagging a new release or notifying merge requests about deployments.
For this reason, Git platforms like GitLab use pull requests as the main code-review supporting feature. We'll explore everything you need to know about working with pull requests in GitLab and how you can adopt this workflow to maintain healthy source code.
Well, update to gitlab 8.2.0 https://about.gitlab.com/2015/11/22/gitlab-8-2-released/
It says you have the ability to add release notes (markdown text and attachments) to git tags (aka Releases).
Now just create a tag per release, and then you'll see the markdown.
