Idea: generate changelog

[kceb]

Thanks for the gem!

I was wondering whether it would make sense to include the ability to programatically generate a changelog based on the request migration descriptions.

What did you have in mind? A prettier API for this, or something else? Or would this work?

RequestMigrations.config.versions.flat_map do |version, migrations|
  migrations.map do |migration|
    klass = migration.to_s.classify.constantize

    "#{version}: #{klass.description_value}"
  end
end
