+  - The `changelog` should reflect updates included in the release:
+    - Notable features, improvements and bug fixes.
+    - Any possible breaking changes.
+  - The `changelog` should follow the format of previous releases:
+    - Include the version, and date.
+    - Include a link to the appropriate milestone.
+    - Include all breaking changes in a separate section.
+    - Prefix entries by their most appropriate extension name (ex: `[core]`).

+    - Entries should be in alphabetical order.
+    - Entries should be in the past tense (ex: 'Added support...').
