See discussion: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/144738#note_1797069988 ### Problem We provide an API to generate the changelogs ([see documentation](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/changelogs.html), [api docs](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/repositories.html#add-changelog-data-to-a-changelog-file)). But it's not possible to define the format of changelog headers. It's hardcoded to ensure that the versions order is consistent ``` 16.9.1 ... 16.9.0 .... ``` <img src="/uploads/9704daa142035558c60c21ff178c6b75/Screenshot_2024-03-01_at_14.00.36.png" width=300px> [see code](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/blob/88aa9c12af1e237971efad91ea894fcb6aa709e2/lib/gitlab/changelog/release.rb#L74-77) ### Proposal Add an option to configure headers. For example, to include `v` at the beginning. <img src="/uploads/bf84104ec31ad0573389473a6234369e/Screenshot_2024-03-01_at_14.03.59.png" width=300px>
