[Upd4ting]

Why

Antony's goal is a joint release whose users learn every breaking or behaviour change before they upgrade. The release workflow cannot carry these notes on its own. It calls release-npm-public.yml@v1, which runs release-it with release-it-changelogen. That plugin builds both the CHANGELOG.md entry and the GitHub release body from commit subjects only. It inserts its generated block before the first ## or ### heading of CHANGELOG.md, and reads no other file. Several of the changes below have no ! in their subject, so the generated text would not mark them (release rehearsal 2026-11-02, blocker 12).

What changed

• New UPGRADING.md, holding the upgrade notes of @antelopejs/interface-database 0.3.0. The repos already put an "Upgrade notes" block in the changelog by hand after a release (interface-database#38). Keeping it in its own file means the release commit's changelog insertion does not split or duplicate it. After the release, paste the section into the GitHub release body and under the version's heading in CHANGELOG.md.
• Every line is taken from LOOP-DELTA 2026-11-02 22:55, release-plan.md (the 0.3.0 notes, including W6-2 item 5 for stage operands) and the bodies of feat(database): type the own properties of a schema codec as unknown values #63 and fix(database): resolve a table update through its type to the modified count #65.
• Round 2 (verifier notes): the stage-operand bullet adds the rest of feat(database)!: type the operands of query stages as query values #62 (bigint, symbol, function and unknown operands, interface-typed records in constant/default/sub/merge/the default of key, generic K extends keyof T keys) and its PR link. New bullets describe feat(database)!: type every query stage by name #51 (stages typed by name, eq/ne, pluck/without, keyof T & string names, between bounds, add operands) and feat(database)!: type written documents as write values #59 (written documents typed as write values). Sources: the bodies of feat(database)!: type every query stage by name #51, feat(database)!: type written documents as write values #59 and feat(database)!: type the operands of query stages as query values #62.

Proofs

• pnpm run checks: Checks: 8 passed, 0 failed. (round 2 head).

Attention

• Pasting into the release body and CHANGELOG.md is a hand step for whoever runs the release. Nothing automates it.
