Description

When making a new release, HISTORY.md newest position is called (unreleased) instead of the newest version.

I've created a simple workaround by modifying release under Makefile.

Instead of calling:

@$(ENV_PREFIX)gitchangelog  > HISTORY.md

You could perhaps do something like:

@$(ENV_PREFIX)gitchangelog | sed "s/(unreleased)/$${TAG} ($$(date +%Y-%m-%d))/g" > HISTORY.md

Furthermore, you could get rid of all the release commits from changelog:

@$(ENV_PREFIX)gitchangelog | sed "s/(unreleased)/$${TAG} ($$(date +%Y-%m-%d))/g" | grep -v "Release: version" > HISTORY.md

This way HISTORY.md contains relevant commits only.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Modify the Makefile to replace '(unreleased)' in HISTORY.md with the current version tag and date, and optionally remove release commits from the changelog.
