This calls towncrier when releasing a package with zest.releaser. towncrier updates your history file (like CHANGES.rst) based on news snippets. This is for example used by pip.

The plugin will call towncrier --version <package version> --yes. You can get a preview of the result yourself by calling towncrier --version 1.2.3 --draft.

The towncrier command should be on your PATH. The plugin can also find it when it is in the same directory as the fullrelease script (or prerelease/postrelease).

Install zestreleaser.towncrier with pip:

$ pip install zestreleaser.towncrier

Then you can run fullrelease like you would normally do when releasing a package.
