features:
- |
By default, reno now ignores "null" merge commits that bring in
tags from other threads. The new configuration option
``ignore_null_merges`` controls this behavior. Setting the flag to
False restores the previous behavior in which the null-merge
commits were traversed like any other merge commit.
upgrade:
- |
The new configuration option ``ignore_null_merges`` causes the
scanner to ignore merge commits with no changes when one of the
parents being merged in has a release tag on it.
fixes:
- |
This release fixes a problem with the scanner that may have caused
it to stop scanning a branch prematurely when the tag from another
branch had been merged into the history.
