Every feature Relnx extracts from a release is classified into one of the types below. Filters, counts, and Slack/email summaries all use these types.

​
Where types come from

  • Conventional commits: feat: → Feature, fix: → Bug Fix, etc.
  • Section headers in release notes: a feature under ### Security is a Security Fix regardless of its commit prefix.
  • Keyword detection when conventional commits are absent: words like breaking, deprecated, vulnerability, CVE.
  • AI classification (for followed tools): the LLM refines the type when the heuristics are ambiguous.

​
Hidden vs. shown by default

Maintenance and Dependency Update are excluded from default views to keep your inbox and dashboard signal-heavy. To include them:
  • Web UI: tick “Include maintenance changes” on any feature list.
  • API: pass include_maintenance=true on GET /api/v1/features.

​
In email/Slack summaries

The “what changed” line in notifications shows counts of the high-signal types only:
So if a release ships 47 dependency bumps and 1 security fix, your summary shows “1 security fix” — not “48 notable changes”.
