"""
Release Note Analyzer — Monitor dependency releases and extract structured insights.
Fetches GitHub releases for configured repositories, parses changelogs,
categorizes changes, and flags breaking changes.
Usage:
python3 scripts/release_note_analyzer.py --repos owner/repo1,owner/repo2
python3 scripts/release_note_analyzer.py --repos numpy/numpy --limit 5
python3 scripts/release_note_analyzer.py --repos owner/repo --output metrics/releases.json
python3 scripts/release_note_analyzer.py --repos owner/repo --token $GITHUB_TOKEN
Output:
JSON with per-release structure: version, date, url, categories (features, fixes, breaking), raw_body
