Generate Change Log entry data for all versions from the reStructuredText formatted ChangeLog:

>>> import pathlib
>>> import pprint
>>> import chug.parsers.rest
>>> import chug.writers
>>> infile_path = pathlib.Path(".", "ChangeLog")
>>> document_text = chug.parsers.get_changelog_document_text(infile_path)
>>> document = chug.parsers.rest.parse_rest_document_from_text(
...     document_text)
>>> entries = chug.parsers.rest.make_change_log_entries_from_document(
...     document)
>>> pprint.pprint([entry.as_version_info_entry() for entry in entries])
[OrderedDict([('release_date', '2020-01-10'),
              ('version', '1.0.1'),
              ('maintainer', 'Cathy Morris <cathy.morris@example.com>'),
              ('body', '…')]),
 OrderedDict([('release_date', '2020-01-10'),

Generate a JSON document describing the latest version:

>>> import json
>>> latest_entry = entries[0]
>>> latest_entry_json = json.dumps(
...     latest_entry.as_version_info_entry(), indent=4)
>>> print(latest_entry_json)
{
    "release_date": "2020-01-10",
    "version": "1.0.1",
    "maintainer": "Cathy Morris <cathy.morris@example.com>",
    "body": "\u2026"
