Print release notes to Slack when we release a new version

[Pirayya]

The easiest way would be to call Slack through GitHub actions I think

Before we merge #12 we should get this fixed I would say, what do you think @simonolander, @an3ll and @kazie?

Well sure, but one may ask how and what exactly - then I mean the actual message.

Example in git we can easily get something like:

git log --oneline v1.0.4..HEAD
283f63d (HEAD -> main, origin/main, origin/HEAD) Bump rust from 1.56.0-buster to 1.56.1-buster
62af55e Bump rust from 1.55.0-buster to 1.56.0-buster
97c349d Bump reqwest from 0.11.4 to 0.11.6
d039fde Migrated from 2 number params to one range param for 'gen_range'
c8ed903 Bump rand from 0.7.3 to 0.8.4
a2e96f4 Bump reqwest from 0.10.10 to 0.11.4
b91dbe0 Bump serde from 1.0.127 to 1.0.130
aa8e556 Bump serde_yaml from 0.8.17 to 0.8.21
682c0cf Bump rust from 1.54-buster to 1.55.0-buster
8eb8f52 Add dependabot configuration for 'actions', 'docker' and 'cargo'

Do we want that in particular, or do we create "fancy release commits" that we simply print direcly to slack or something?

As we can quite easily create a secret like ${{ secrets.SLACK_RELEASE_HOOK_URL }} that we can post with a github step that triggers on release-tags.

Or do we simply want to have something simple like:

Hurra! Joel-bot fyller `v1.0.5` idag. 🥳
Se vad som inkluderas i hans fördelsedagskalas på:
https://LINK_TO_RELEASE_ON_GITHUB

---

But like you say, it is probably very easy to just do it through a GitHub action, the "hard" part is to extract and format whatever the message should contain. :)

Ett 1.0.5-faldigt leve för Joel-bot! Han leve
Hurra!
H

Se release-notes

I think the latter would be more in the spirit of joel-bot!

We can use a standard template where we just populate the version from the release-tag and then link them back to the Release page. We could also include whatever is printed on the release-page!
