"setuptools-changelog-shortener: add only newest changelog entries to long_description"

setuptools-changelog-shortener

This setuptools plugin allows shortening the number of changelog entries to use for the long_description metadata in Python packages.

Usage

First, ensure that setuptools_changelog_shortener is present in your build requirements.

# pyproject.toml
[build-system]
requires = ["setuptools>=45", "wheel", "setuptools_changelog_shortener"]

To enable changelog shortening, add the following section to your pyproject.toml:

# pyproject.toml
[tool.setuptools_changelog_shortener]
read_from = "CHANGELOG.rst"
write_to = "CHANGELOG.short.rst"

Then you use the CHANGELOG.short.rst file for your long_description metadata field.

Additional options are:

count

The number of changelog entries to include. Defaults to 5.

delimiter

The delimiter to look for in each entry. Defaults to the ^--+ regular expression to find docutils titles using - characters.

title

The title to add to the top of the shortened CHANGELOG file. Defaults to Changelog\n=========.
