Late response (sorry), but the manually maintained changelog has a
clean summary of user-facing format changes:
https://github.com/apache/parquet-format/blob/master/CHANGES.md

while the auto-generated changelog is an unreadable mess of version
bumps and other maintenance items:
https://github.com/apache/parquet-format/releases/tag/apache-parquet-format-2.11.0

So I would rather we keep maintaining the changelog.

(we can of course try to make it autogenerated by carefully tagging
PRs or commits, if we think that's gonna make life easier)

Regards

Antoine.

Hey Antoine,

Just seeing this now. We could do some post-filtering. For example, skip
the ones starting with MINOR-. Also, I think it would be nice to sort it so
we group the dependency upgrades. I think it would be nice to mention the
dependency upgrades as part of the changelog.

Kind regards,
Fokko
