features:
- |
Add a configuration option ``branch_name_re`` to hold a regular expression
for choosing "interesting" branches when trying to automatically detect
how far back the scanner should look. The default is ``stable/.+``, which
works for the OpenStack practice of creating branches named after the
stable series of releases.
fixes:
- |
Fixes the logic for determining how far back in history to look when
scanning a given branch. Reno now looks for the base of the "previous"
branch, as determined by looking at branches matching ``branch_name_re``
in lexical order. This may not work if branches are created using
version numbers as their names.
