Is it possible to generate a changelog automatically from Trac?

Question

Does Trac provide a way to automate generation of change logs from a group of tickets? I'm interesting in giving a list of completed tickets to someone with access to Trac, preferably in a human readable format, something like a word doc or plaintext.

If Trac doesn't provide this functionality directly is there an external tool I can use?

Note that I am aware of the question How to generate changelog from Trac and it doesn't help me.

Answer 1

As you must have already noticed by now is, there's no dedicated function in Trac for changelog creation.

So you'll want to use the report/query interface, that certainly can harvest ticket data and has grouping/summarizing capability for a changelog-like report. Depending on your specific needs this could be enough, if you take some time to customize. Ultimately you need to provide more details on your needs, or this question is too unclear to hope for a satisfying answer.

Note too, that for Trac itself there's a dedicated wiki page with more than what ticket data alone can deliver.

Answer 2

How much information do you need in this "list of completed tickets"? One thing I've done before is create a report that shows the desired information and then "print" the page to a PDF file using one of the many PDF-creation utilities available. You can also use a tool like wget to grab the results in HTML format from a script.
