Description

Hi,

Is it possible to detect first release automatically? Possible alternatives if they don't conflict current features:

  • If version is 0.0.0.
  • If there is no CHANGELOG.md or it is empty.

Kind regards,

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the existing version detection logic and implement auto detection of first release based on version '0.0.0' or missing/empty CHANGELOG.md.
