+==== voyc release management ====
+Trends in release management as of 2026.
+  * 50/72 rule. A commit message has three lines (title, blank, body).  The first line is the title and it is 50 characters long.  The second line is blank.  The third and subsequent lines make up the body; they are bullets, and they are 72 characters long.  [Ed. title is my word.  Other people say description or subject.]
+  * Conventional Commits.  The first line of the commit message is prefixed with a category: feat, fix, perf, style, refactor, test, build, chore.  This rule overrides an earlier rule that the title should be capitalized.
+  * Semantic Versioning.  Each release is numbered major.minor.patch, like 14.3.5. When a development group breaks backward compatibility, now a normalized behavior, they assign a new major number.  When a bug is discovered that is so dangerous it must be fixed immediately, they release a patch.

+[[https://tbaggery.com/2008/04/19/a-note-about-git-commit-messages.html | Tim Pope: A Note About Git Commit Messages, 2008.]]\\
+At voyc we use these above trends in commit messages and tag messages.  The log of commit messages is detailed for developers.  The list of tag messages is more abstract, for users and managers.  Release histories are generated by script from the list of tag messages.
+At deployment, a file named RELEASES.md is generated from the tag messages by a script.  It is not committed; it listed in .gitignore.
+[[..:git | more about log and tag]]
+  # All tags with their full messages, most recent first
+  git tag -l --sort=-version:refname | xargs -I{} git show {} --no-patch --pretty=format:"%tag %*%(tag)%n%s%n%b%n---"
+  git for-each-ref --sort=-version:refname --format="%(refname:short)%0a%(contents)%0a---" refs/tags
+Practices:
+  * Commits made only in feature branch.  Never on the master branch.
+  * We let aider auto-commit every change.
+  * At merge, we generally keep the detailed commits, but squash is optional.
+  * The commit log is for developers.
+  * At release, we create a tag, observing SemVer, with hand-written message.
+  * Public release history is generated from the tag messages.
+  * Conventional commits types are used only on the commit messages, not the tag messages.
