Releases and changelogs
What shipped, per environment, with notes people actually read.
A release is a version of a service, tracked from the first environment it reaches to the last.
The release page
| Version | The tag |
| Changeset | Commits and pull requests |
| Environments | Where it is now, and when it got there |
| Health | The score per environment |

Release notes
Notes are generated from the changeset and posted to Slack per environment.
Conventional-commit prefixes (feat:, fix:, chore:) are grouped
automatically. A repository that uses them gets structured notes for free; one
that does not gets a flat list, which is still better than nothing.
AI-drafted changelogs
The Copilot can draft a human-readable changelog from the changeset — grouping related commits and writing what changed in prose.
A draft. It can tell you what the commits did; it cannot know why it mattered or what it means for the reader. Read it before it goes out — the notes are read by people outside your team.
Export as markdown with Copy.
Announcing to pull requests
When a release goes to production, AccelerUp can comment on the pull requests it contains: "shipped in 4.18.2, production, 2026-09-15".
This closes a loop that is otherwise always open — the author of a PR merged three weeks ago has no idea whether it is live.
The weekly digest
A weekly digest of everything released, posted to a configured Slack channel.
Set the environment name release-digest in the notification settings.
Reverting
A release can be reverted from here. It creates a new deployment with the previous version and is tracked as its own release, not as an erasure.
