This target is complex target, that perform target make, snapshot and perform generation of release notes - CHANGES.txt. You project root directory contains file - changes.log. You must fill this file by changes for this release and run target release. For example:
file changes.log contains:
Change 01
Change 02
Change 03
After you get release target completed, you will see ZIP distributive in build directory, where are file CHANGES.txt look like:
Plugin 0.1.0 build # 123
---
* Change 01
