I wanted to maintain the email generation system of Women Don’t Cycle, built on the Maizzle email generation framework. The framework was stuck on v4.x, added in late 2023, and never updated since.

v6 was the latest major, and I was looking for the breaking changes in the major updates since v4. The GitHub Releases of that project contained the changelog summaries, but I couldn’t easily find the intermediate v5 release in the multiple pages of release candidates and minor releases. The search feature GitHub provides doesn’t help much either, because it matches much more than just version names.

I’ve had that problem many times before.

In this tool, you paste the repo URL, and it only shows the major version history. Handy!

It generally works without a GitHub API token, since it only needs a few requests to list release pages and extract the major versions. You can add a Personal Access Token if you need more requests.

PS: I started looking into the maintenance just before lunch, let Opus make this with a quick prompt written on my phone during lunch, and could get the desired insights right after lunch. Nice.
