Question about Mantine’s release process. any reason for not using release-please?

[random pond]

Hi Mantine team 👋

While exploring Mantine's release scripts, I noticed that a custom Node.js script for managing releases (scripts/release/index.ts), including version bumps and changelogs is used. I’m curious whether there was a specific reason you chose not to use release-please, which is quite popular for automating changelog generation, GitHub releases, and versioning based on conventional commits.

I’m asking because I’m considering release-please for a UI library myself and would love to learn from your experience.
Thanks for all your work!

I do not like conventional commits, it is easier for me to write a script that can be customized for my project rather than fit the project into the generic template

@nocturne dove Got it, thanks! One follow-up if you don’t mind: do you still follow semantic versioning manually, or does the script handle decisions like whether a change is a patch/minor/major?
