Replace CHANGELOG.markdown with GitHub Releases#143
Merged
Conversation
The markdown changelog was stale and duplicated what GitHub Releases already tracks better. This removes the file, points the gemspec changelog_uri to the releases page, and adds .github/release.yml for auto-categorized release notes on future releases.
