# Tenzir Ship v0.9.0

## 💥 Breaking Changes

### Use slug-based entry naming

Dec 3, 2025 · [@claude](https://github.com/claude), [@mavam](https://github.com/mavam) · [#3](https://github.com/tenzir/ship/pull/3) · cli

Entry files are now named using the slugified title (e.g., `my-feature.md`) instead of a numeric prefix (e.g., `01-my-feature.md`). This eliminates conflicts when multiple PRs create entries in parallel. The `created` field now stores a full UTC datetime for precise ordering within the same day.

## 🚀 Features

### Automatically detect changelog/ subdirectory as root

Dec 3, 2025 · [@claude](https://github.com/claude), [@mavam](https://github.com/mavam) · [#4](https://github.com/tenzir/ship/pull/4) · cli

The CLI now automatically uses a `changelog/` subdirectory as the project root when running commands from the parent directory. This means you no longer need to pass `--root changelog` when the current directory contains a valid changelog project in a `changelog/` subdirectory.

### Support singular pr and author keys

Dec 3, 2025 · [@claude](https://github.com/claude), [@mavam](https://github.com/mavam) · [#2](https://github.com/tenzir/ship/pull/2) · cli

Changelog entries can now use the singular `pr` and `author` keys in YAML frontmatter as shorthand for single values. For example, instead of writing:

```yaml
prs:
  - 42
authors:
  - codex
```

You can now write:

```yaml
pr: 42
author: codex
```

Both forms are supported, and the singular form is automatically normalized to the plural form when the entry is read. Using both forms in the same entry is an error.

## 🔧 Changes

### Highlight inferred GitHub identities

Nov 10, 2025 · [@codex](https://github.com/codex), [@mavam](https://github.com/mavam) · cli

GitHub login and pull request detection logs now render the inferred identifiers in bold so they stand out without relying on prefixed punctuation.
